Cricket lessons

We had the Kanga Cricket set down at the beach today and it was about 1/2 Canadian, 1/2 Aussie contingent so we gave the Canucks a few lessons in the game and let them lose on the pitch. Ken and Mike were whipping in the in-swingers and Jesse was belting (getting thick edges) them with his unorthodox reverse hand grip.

Vancouver heatwave

Summer is finally here in Vancouver. It seems to have come all of a sudden and most people have embraced it with open arms. We were lucky enough to get our hands on a cricket set on Sunday and roll a few over on the grass by Kits pool...


It seems that others have been caught unaware and struggle to make it through the day...

Stawamus Chief

With these perfect mid 20's days now I thought we should get amongst it and seek some more 'postcard' Canadian experiences. So we got a couple of car loads of people together and drove up to Squamish to hike up the Stawamus Chief. It took us about 3 hours return but the view from the top was well worth it! It's a bare rock face and no trees to block the view that stretches from Vancouver all the way up to Whistler.
