Sue picked me up from the 'Castaway Motel' at about 10:30 am and we
drove to Cedar for groceries and then to Ladysmith for lunch before
heading to their beautiful 'hobby farm' just outside Ladysmith. It is a
garden paradise -  Vancouver Island is so much like New Zealand.
Sue and Robert have an  organic farm and it must be such a big
job, considering they both still work full time in Victoria!  They
grow raspberries, blueberries, several kinds of salad greens and peas,
apricots, carrots, beets, etc.  We spent a couple of hours
picking, and Sue packages for sale.  We barbecued that night and I
slept in the lovely guest cabin and Sue in their gazebo.  It would
be a hard place to leave every Sunday to make the  trip back to
Victoria to work!
