pumpkins2 Victoria has plenty to offer both visitors and residents; from gardens, beaches and parks to free concerts, museums and festivals. We’ve written a number of posts singing Victoria’s praises, and this is another one. Today we went to the Oldfield Farms Pumpkin Festival for the third straight year. Four years ago we went to the one at Galen farms, which was also very nic…

Power Washing all Things Clean

Beacon Hill 6.27'09 012 I guess it’s the hot summer weather, but recently we have received serveral requests to do power washing of various things like deck furniture, stone work, walkways, driveways. We were even asked to power wash soemone’s roof but I said I didn’t think that was a very good idea. It’s actually quite satisfying to see just how clean we can get something that is…

Good Things about Victoria – Fisherman’s Wharf

4948_120676960750_500065750_3294218_6266370_n We went exploring recently – always a fun and interesting thing to do. We ended up down at fisherman’s wharf. As we were getting out of the car the scent of deep fried haddock wafted over the bridge and suddenly we all got very hungry.

TC 10K

tc10k-VC The Times Colonist (TC) 10K is coming up on April 26th. You can register here. A little over two years ago I decided on a whim to register for the TC 10K. I wasn’t in particulary good or bad shape. But I had never been a runner and hadn’t run more than about 100 metres. At the time I had no idea what effect that decision would have on the rest of my life (up to this point anyway). I jo…
