Dblock Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Im not sure how many hours it is to fly but it looks like a completely different world. Good to hear your settling in though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoogyRev Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 Sooo we went to Peachland, yes its a real place ........... Click Guess what they sell there................ Its in the heart of the Okanagan Valley, which is the fruit growing capital of BC Needless to say we filled the boot with fruit drove home....... a nice 10 hour drive there and back The roads through the mountains were fantastic, but did not get many good photos This was rush hour........ ........ seriously NOT joking, we saw about 20 cars or trucks every hour Im not sure how many hours it is to fly but it looks like a completely different world. Good to hear your settling in though Its only 10 hours After being here for a month, it very much like Scotland or Wales, but EVERYTHING is bigger - Roads, Cars, Trucks, Mountains, Ice Cream, Burgers, Onions (Saw some as big as the average persons head ) Squirrels, Robins... you get the idea Even the Barbecue's are bigger.... here is our one that I have spent the last 2.5 hours putting together Bring on the Steak ... and not its not staying in the lounge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoogyRev Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 Perhaps I should mention the downsides....... 1. Missing my Family and Friends (a little) .... 2. The Kettle takes for ever to boil as its only 110v here 3. Most people cant drive for Toffee, utterly appalling, really need to keep your wits about you ..... errr thats it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronzee Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 3. Most people cant drive for Toffee, utterly appalling, really need to keep your wits about you That's because there's so few cars, just wander all over the road. He's gone for good Can you blame him. Looks very like NZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoogyRev Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 I dont know if it me, but the light here in BC seems very different from the UK. Here are a few shots of the garden...... This Morning...... This evening ........ Its a shame we dont have a "sunrise" or "sunset" view as I think we have missed some stunning ones Oh well, they will be even more special when I do capture them Edit: Hark at me moaning already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasso Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 That isn't a BBQ Jim, that's a kitchen on wheels I guess the steaks are big also, hence the need for a big BBQ. You'll be 50 stone before you know it Glad you've settled in well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
