Fox Foods at Whytecliff Park

Food in West Van isn’t quite what it is in East Van but we’re cooking more and things are starting to get better this side of Stanley Park. We have a superb young butcher Sebastian & Co. and Temper Pastry with proper coffee with a soon to be liquor license! An interesting addition to the food list is Fox Foods located at Ambleside Beach and Whytecliff Park. Organic meats supplied by our man Sebastian — a limited menu but we’ll take it! It’s a surreal experience eating in the trees while the scuba divers get their gear ready for an afternoon dive!

Lighthouse Park

Just going through some older photos and this series caught my eye. As we approach summer you can feel the chill in these photos taken at Lighthouse Park in December of last year. All seasons are beautiful if you know where to go!

North Shore Spirit Trail

Had a quick walk along a section of the North Shore Spirit Trail in North Vancouver today. We’re getting cycling back into our lives and this trail looks like a step in the right direction. Will be learning more as the trail is supposedly expanding all the way to Horseshoe Bay. Currently the North Vancouver portions of the Spirit Trail are well defined complete with dog parks, pedestrian definitions and outdoor public furniture. The connection to West Van over the Capilano River feels dangerous and poorly defined. Seems like West Van needs to put some money towards infrastructure and planning instead of token signs pointing bikes and pedestrians through Park Royal! More to come.

Let them eat seeds!

We dropped Mummy off at the airport this morning as she is spending the week in New Jersey. Oh the glamour… Daddy and Charlotte proceeded to have pancakes and a walk at the Reifel Bird Sanctuary. We fed the ducks and chickadees and even spotted a wild pheasant! I squinted my eyes and pretended we were sourcing our lunch in Italy…
