SPIRIt trail trip
On the North Shore we have an amazing trail that connects one end to the other and takes you to many great landmarks called the Spirit Trail. This weeks walk was through a small portion which can be accessed near Park Royal mall.

CLEVELAND park trip
Another week, another trip out to a place in British Columbia where I live. Not a lot to do these days and it’s good for an introvert such as myself to leave the house. This week the trip was to Cleveland Park, in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Dundarave trip
Another excursion to help slow the insanity of cabin fever, at least a little. This time to a much closer location, Dundarave Beach/Pier in West Vancouver, BC, Canada.
RICHMOND trip
Due to the events of the last year, and ongoing, I’m not getting out of the house as much as I did before. Which to be honest wasn’t a lot to begin with. Yesterday I had the good fortune to make it out to where I used to live, Richmond, BC and was able to take some pictures of art and my surroundings.

a day out
I don’t go out very often these days as I’m trying to keep safe and sound. However, I had to get out of the house on Saturday and wandered down to Lonsdale Quay in North Vancouver, BC, Canada. These are some of the photos from my trip.
hello fresh adventure continues
I have never enjoyed cooking a whole lot in my life. Some people thought that Hello Fresh could kindle a love of cooking finally. While they were wrong, I still dislike cooking just as much as before I will admit, Hello Fresh has made it easier. Given the bland, three or four things I would generally cook before it has been a bonus to my life in that department.
It is not perfect, things like the beef portions, lack of any real salad options and sometimes vegetables being of an iffy freshness have been unfortunate. Yet, at least for now while I’m working from home I’ll stick with it. Also, this is yet another excuse to post more food related photos.
I also found out that Hello Fresh and Chef’s Plate are the same company. So if you’re leaving one for the other, it will be very similar.

PNE Winter lights
Due to the global pandemic, the majority of Christmas events where I live were all, rightfully, cancelled. However, as PNE Winter Lights is an event you drive through, they were allowed to continue with a restriction on how many cars could go through at once. I went with my Mother and my young niece and it was a spot of fun in an otherwise, dreary month of December.
