Best Bike

This was my favorite bike at this years show. The photos taken in the dingy dark Tradex don't quite do it justice but if you click on them to make them bigger that helps a bit.

It won a bunch of awards including the coveted "Best Bike" and "People's Choice" and there was a photo of it in Sunday's issue of the Province.

It's called "Fantasma Del Lago" which means Phantom of the Lake in Spanish. The guys that built it are from Freakshow Choppers (LOVE that name!!) in Shawnigan Lake on the island.

A Star in the Family!!

My cousin is having a book launch on May 1st. Hope some of you can make it there! Cheers.

Beachcombers...

I had to go to the island last weekend for work, so Darren came with me and we visited his mom & our friends Polo & Kelly & their kids, then drove up to Parksville for the night.


We went for a long walk on Rathtrevor Beach and watched the sunset. As you can see it was so beautiful!








We hiked up this overgrown path....which I still don't think was really a path (lol) to Tigh-Na-Mara, this posh resort, and came across this little gazebo with a gorgeous view and a beautiful arbutus tree beside it. I thought this would be a really nice spot to get married.

Less than 2 weeks away!!!
