More photos

Here's a couple more photos - fantastic slopey rail hauling in Gibb's cave, Shannon Falls just near the Chief, Hols on fire, some snowy mtn near squamish, and the chief.
Not great photos I know, but it gives you some idea what the place looks like - every time I drive up to Squamish I have a big grin on my face - different from the drive through tallaghtfornia to get to wicklow......

Three months in....

Well, we've been here three months, and it still seems like a good move. Had a great easter weekend, mix of bouldering at Squamish, boarding on Seymour and house hunting....

So far, we've put in offers on three houses and been refused three times - the last one we put in 50K over asking and it wasn't enough - I'm not sure what we have to do - we're out again today to look at a bazillion houses and hopefully one will become ours - we're so desperate we'll buy anything, so if you're coming out to see us, expect to be staying in a 500 sq ft basement in the rough part of town.......

On a lighter note, the Brackens are over, and we're off to Whistler for a couple of days - still loads of snow up there, so should be fun. I think after this weekend it'll be time to dust off the climbing gear and start scaring myself stupid.
We have a new land line at home - email us if you want the number.
Some photos - the beach and bridges are right next to where we live at the moment, the river is the Fraser about an hour from the city, and the big lump of granite is the Chief.

More bobbins.....

So, another wasted weekend and guess what? Yep, still no house. We are losing the will to live.......apart of course, from the fact that it's looking and feeling more and more like summer each day. The mountains glisten in the sun and the sea is looking a bit more inviting. A good time then for me to begin my kayaking lessons this week and after several years of avoiding it, actually get down to some full on capsizing.

Holly started free standing for the first time this weekend so walking is probably not too far off. Her new words for this week include: spoon (poon), bus (bu), shoes (doos) and book (boo). She's getting there!

Andy is threatening to buy a new road bike this week so he can start commuting to work. As you all know, he doesn't need many excuses for more gadgetry!!

Not sure what we're up to for Easter but really hoping that it doesn't involve house hunting..........

Bobbins

Finally we put in an offer on a house at the weekend.
We didn't get it.
We were cross.
We will try another.

Very moving

We're moving today - not such a big move though, as we're only getting in the lift and moving a couple of floors downstairs. Our new landlord is a very nice chap called Tim, who I know Joe would get along very well with, and his apartment manager is a guy called Shanti Wind. Bonkers.

Another gratuitous cute shot of Hols - I can't help myself.

We're also off to continue the perpetual waste of oxygen that is looking at houses - god knows I wish we could make a decision....
