#Today for our #anniversary we went to #TheVine, the best restaurant in #CowichanValley. We had a magnificent meal... Calamari, mushrooms stuffed with snails, paella linguini and a rib eye steak, finishing with a berry Pavlova. An incredible once a year feat!
This is our view from their #patio

Good morning 🌄
It's going to be another scorching day in #CowichanValley - dubbed the Warmland on Vancouver Island. It gets hotter in the valley than other areas of island. It's why many farms & vineyards are located in #Cowichan area.
Another day in the countryside, chilling with #chickens 🥰

Checked out a new swimming hole today, and had the whole place to myself. Will definitely be back.

@toondoon1010 LOL... I am from Canada. I have spent a bit of time at Joshua Tree in California and for me the desert seems like Mars. I kept asking people I met there "So you are from here?" I just can't wrap my head around living somewhere that you don't have to cut grass or weed because stuff just does not grow!!! This is our local swimming hole. #BrightAngelPark #CowichanValley #VancouverIsland #BC #Canada
