An Unexpected Announcement

   Sad news today. Son and Daughter-in-law have decided to move to Victoria on Vancouver Island sometime in the future. I think it is about 6,000kms. from here. Whether it comes to pass will depend on several factors - work availability, accommodation, selling their present house and finding somewhere to live there. All her family are there, they have been thinking about it for a while and I will be disappointed but not so much as if they had children. That's a long way to go to see your grandkids! Perhaps it means I might be able to visit there from time to time. It's a wonderful city and the weather is more temperate than here in the eastern zone. The five time zones of Canada are Atlantic, Eastern, Central, Mountain and Pacific. I have been very lucky to have all the family relatively close by up until now.

   It has been a hot, sunny day and the family came over for a swim and lunch. Judy brought food again so it was a treat for me not to have to prepare anything. Although I did make a salad and devilled eggs which are a favourite of the kids. There was leftover salad which I will have with leftover Mediterranean chicken for dinner soon.

  2. Victoria is such a beautiful city. It will be, I am sure a while before all this comes together for them. Enjoy them while you can :)

  3. We visited Victoria about 30 years ago. I remember it as a beautiful place so I can understand anyone wanting to live there.

    1. The climate is certainly a lot better than here in the East.
