A Pot Luck Supper, a birthday and a week of farewells!

Since our Pot Luck Supper last Sunday, we have been busy packing up, saying farewells and travelling by car, ferry and airplane.

We invited friends we have made on Vancouver Island to a Pot Luck supper - we were pleased that almost everyone we had met over the past 5 months was able to join us which gave us an opportunity to thank them all for their welcome, support and friendship during our stay. We sincerely hope we will be able to return to the island at some point in the not too distant future and revisit the local Oceanside community and our dear friends.



The Pot Luck itself was a real success! The dishes that people brought were both delicious and plentiful, lots of vegetarian options and very tasty too! We will not forget the generosity and warmth shown to us by so many in such a short spell of time - thanks to one and all!












March 23rd was Della's 45th birthday(!). Lunch was at the local restaurant "Rawthenticity" (http://www.rawthenticeatery.com)
and where we enjoyed wraps stuffed with carrot, beets, bean sprouts and falafel accompanied by a kale salad. Della continued the healthy theme with a wheatgrass drink(!), it was a vivid green and smelt of grass (well, it would!).
She says she would prefer a G & T next time!!

The remainder of our week was spent packing up and enjoying time with Angus and our new friends mainly eating and drinking(!), before we left Qualicum for the ferry crossing to Vancouver on Thursday.
