A beautiful day, once again, on the west coast. Although we really could do with some rain. #fall #vancouverisland #westcoastlife This view never gets old. #hyggehome … just to show my dinner was not just a beer @longwoodbrewpub . Sooo good. Even roast potatoes and not mash. 😉 Dinner time @longwoodbrewpub How can you resist this face #bordercolliesofinstagram #bordercollie Beautiful walk in the woods today. #westcoastlife Come on Dad, throw the dam ball and stop taking pictures of me. #bordercolliesofinstagram @thedogshep out in his happy place, the trails of Nanaimo. #nanaimo #bordercolliesofinstagram #happyplace Went to Haru BBQ Korean Restaurant for the first time, great service, great food and value. #nanaimo #foodie.  @harubbqkoreanrestaurant Fall is definitely in the air. #Fall #Nanaimo.

So @jenndbowen and I came to Vegas to celebrate my 60th. After check in walked out to the bar and see a birthday balloon and Jenn says that’s for you, nice I think, my sister arranged to bubbly… then this happened… so lucky to have an amazing sister and brother in law who fly all that way from the UK to celebrate with us. Thanks to Jenn for keeping the secret and  coordinating when I would make reservations and plan things. So stressful for her, but she is amazing. No for some fun time. #vegas #parishotellasvegas #birthdays #surprise A photograph of a glass of wine on Instagram. #vegas #noonsomewhere I love where I live. #nanaimo #ocean #mountains #views My new favourite cider @ravensmooncraftcider #goodstuff First out on open water.
