After having a good start to Spring it turned wet and cold again. We also had a couple of days of snow and frosts up until the end of April. To get this amount of snow this late is very unusual. We even had snow on the blossoms of our plum trees!
Been busy planting out the vegetable plot. Planted radish, parsnips, beans carrot, broccoli and onions. The garlic we planted in October is growing very well and should be ready in July.
Daniels basketball team played well in the Junior BC Provincial Championship. Overall they finished 7th in BC and finished their season very well. The winners were the team from Victoria that Cowichan beat in the Vancouver Island Championships. Daniel was invited along to the Senior BC Provincial Championships in Vancouver with the schools senior team. He got to play in a couple of the games and was pleased as the players in this tournament are up to 2 years older. A good experience and he is aiming to return next year.
Anjas dance club were in a dance competition in Nanaimo and did very well. She is now busy practicing for the end of season show in June. Both Daniel and Anja got good results in their school reports so we are pleased and proud of them.
The humming birds have arrived and we have four different ones coming to our feeder. Humming birds are amazing little birds and keep us totally mesmirised when they are around.
I am still managing to go down to our local beach as often as possible. I find it a relaxing, yet stimulating place to be. A very beautiful place to enjoy and we are lucky to have it so close.
And finally…………it is tax return time. Yes, we all hate doing tax returns here in Canada as we did in the UK. Some things never change!
