Deb, I just Googled and its on the web :) Vonny

it's in BC - off the Fishing Highway #24, lol They have built their house out of whole pine trees and it is right on the lake with boats etc. their house is like a museum with all sorts of stuff around and they feed you royally. The red squirrels run across the balcony rails and there are lots of birds. Was wonderful :) Vonny

Vonny Would that be in Alberta or B.C.? Another place to look up! Deb

Sorry, i'm speed limited at the moment which is a pain to try and hold a conversation :) I enjoyed our time in Canada so much. A beautiful country. if you want the BEST Bed and breakfast place in the country go to Greenlees on the Lake - Lake Sheridan. it was superlative - if you have a special anniversary and want to have the best ever experience, I can 100% recommend it. Vonny :)

Just looked at the Zip Trek website - A must when we go up there next. Deb

OOH Vonny, That sounds wonderful, BUT, it is much safer down in the Village in the Dublin Gate pub!!! Only kidding - I'll look into it. Deb

you get to Zip across the tops of valleys from tree to tree on an upmarket flying fox :) try www*ziptrek*com replacing the stars with usual. I did NOT do any fancy tricks but remained upright holding on tight :) Good fun.

Vonny, What on earth is Zip Trecking? Deb

Deb, next time you are there all go Zip Trekking. i'ts expensive but what a blast :) Vonny

Night MaryClare, Vonny, Whistler!!! That's where we go for our 'Girley Weekends' LOL I think that another one is due any time now! We went to the Columbia Icefields 20 years ago. My Aunty (who is younger than me) came out here on her Honeymoon- along with my Nan. I was to be the Matron of Honor at the wedding until someone (who is now 6' 5') spoilt the fun. I was pregnant for the time of the wedding, so no Matron for me! I had a 2 week old when they came here. I wasn't going to go camping , but my Nan said if I didn't go then neither would she! So needless to say I went! Deb

Night one and all. i had better get dressed as the kids will be home for lunch from Uni and I will still be where they left me - at the computer in my dressing gown LOL See you later :) Vonny

Night Pat and Maryclare.... Methinks I will have an early ish night.... 10.25pm here. Night all I will try and catch you all tomorrow!! Jacquie xxxx

Jacquie 92 degrees lol Today here it was grey and dull all day, yesterday was sunny and bright and even warm, well by our standards it was warm for Autumn. I do love the changing colours of the seasons Spring and Autumn being particularly beautiful just wish Winter was shorter in Ireland it seems longer than London :-( thats long enough. I am pleased Marley is getting better. Don't think I would really want to see what they scraped off him Jacquie best you saw it LOL You must keep in touch Jacquie. Clique of Owls oh like that ;-) Hi MaryClare missed saying hello to you. Sorry but I'm off to bed now kids for school in the morning its 3.15am here. Goodnight and Good morning to all lovely to see everyone. Pat x

Vonny, are you talking about the Columbia Icefields?

Sorry peeps, had to go and put the washing out to dry :) have to keep up a semblence of hou.... oops sorry. I have been to Vancouver twice and also Toronto although that was a long time ago. We did the Icefields Hightway two years ago. I call it the Ohhhhh Ahhhhhh Highway - magnificent :) Vonny

Sorry - Hi Maryclare..... welcome to our clique!!! That's one thing I miss... Autumn!! The changing colours of the leaves.... we're still in our 'Summer' at the moment... it was 92 degrees today!!! 'Winter' usually drops to about 88 or so!! lol Summer = wet season...... Winter = dry season! Jacquie xxxx

Oh yes, please let us be a clique.... never been in one of them!!! Pat, Marley seems to be improving - have to take him back on Thursday so hope it's good news! Normally the vet comes to us but my usual vet seems to have gone back to Cuba, she was brilliant a real laugh! But this American guy at the Vet School seems to be pretty good - he even showed us what he had scraped off of Marley in microscope! Yuck!!!! Yvonne.... see ya piccy little Sis! So we both wear glasses too!!! lol Just had my hair cut really short - first time since I've been here. Found a good hairdresser and very cheap!!!! Jacquie xxxx
