…And now for something completely different, Kit’s Beach and English Bay painted on the iPad using the Sketchbook Pro app. It’s a lot of fun to use as you can see. Happy painting…

One week to go and the poppies are kindly beginning their display before we leave. (For those of you just joining us see Machu Picchu -27 for the poppy reference). Yesterday (Tuesday) began with coffee with Kiran who is leaving to start her residency in Toronto and a happy meeting once again with Henry (same coffee shop one week later) who was having coffee with his dad. I wonder if he will be having coffee in Machu Picchu when we’re there!
Then it was time for some necessary cleaning and tidying in the studio ready for our return. At some point I’ll post some of my paintings.
The Boathouse at Kits Beach is a favorite for dinner particularly with our friends Betty, Ron and Sherri whom we joined last night. I really recommend the blackened steelhead trout in a Jamaican rum butter sauce; absolutely delicious and I have it every time!
Kit’s beach at sunset is a very special place…

A lovely Saturday visit with our daughter Natalia in Victoria visiting the wineries of the Saanich Peninsula. We tasted some wonderful wines at Symphony, de Vine (surely the best name for a vineyard), Dragonfly Hill and Starling Vineyards. Driving up the hill to the de Vine vineyard I thought I was back in Umbria.

The poppies have landed. For those of you who have been following the blog I did promise you would be the first to know. It looks like there will be quite a display before we leave. More to follow…
