A Better Than “Cowan Fine” Second Choice

The last month and a half in Lake Cowichan has been quite nice…it’s no San Diego, but I really did enjoy it.  With just a handful of days with snow, I did a lot of painting, a pottery workshop on Salt Spring Island, an alcohol ink workshop in Victoria and a block printing workshop in Youbou.  Had Jan and Jaro for supper, joined combinations of Thompsons for brunch at “The Mosaic” and “The Hub”, had lunch with Kevin and Michelle as they passed through Lake Cowichan on their road trip, had a supper with all the Thompson’s at Jan and Jaro’s and lunch with Kim in Fulford.  Walked, napped, listened to my stories, drank a lot of lattes from Ed’s, met a couple very nice potters (Cathi Jefferson and Margit Nellemann), massage and MyoActivation treatments at Juvenescence, went to Nanaimo, Botanical Beach, Heather’s play in Victoria, Skutz Falls, a couple Sound Baths at Ohm Zome, Mystic Beach, Point No Point Resort and Sandcut Beach waterfall.  Had I not been so content at the house,  I would have done a few more hikes and day trips, but I seemed to be just fine with a slow, leisurely pace to my days.  

And so, off to Vernon I go to see what creative endeavours await for me there.  🤞🏼
























Final walk of the trip.  Til next time, Lake Cowichan.  Thanks for everything!
