November Tales


Ok, it's early November and I have just come home from a six week stint as Acting Manager of the  Point Grey Guest House, a rather sophisticated bed and breakfast venue near the University of British Columbia, a few blocks away from the sea.  I love this residential area and felt very priviliged to have had this time here.  This photo shows Rowena, the PGGH wonderful assistant, and Shelby the dog.  It was definitely a pretty concentrated period of 'appropriateness'; no schlepping around here!  Large and fancy breakfast preparing, serving, schmooozing, phone calls, e-mails, general catering, walking the dog and just pulling out my own style of, and very welcomed, "Irish hospitality"!  I met wonderful people!  The photo below is in the living room after supper, taken with my Glengara Park, Dublin, school friends, Hilary and Heather (from Aus). The three of us were feted graciously by Hilary's husband, Patrick.

Now its back to my condo in North Burnaby (east of Vancouver) and the final touches of renovations in the kitchen and bathroom.  I started tutoring English yesterday.  Arran and Teresa and their two dogs continue to move through life happily.

Now, stepping back one hour in time tomorrow, and reaching out to whoever is following my story!

hugs, Dyane
