It's a 12 minute walk from the nearest bus stop to the park. I wander down Fraser Street lined with houses just a bit bigger than the wartime ones in the Quadra area. Some are well kept with adorable shingle siding, bountiful flower gardens, and an old tree out front, but some, not so much. I almost don't want to enter the wooded beginning of the 86 year old park.
It's the first week of May and temperatures are soaring above normal. Victoria is expected to get over 20 degrees Celsius temperatures this week, so when possible, I say go to the beach!
April is usually a rainy month for Victoria, BC. This year, we need it more than ever. This last March was the driest on record with BC's capital receiving only 11.3 mm of rain compared to an average of 78.4 mm. April 7th week's forecast of *most* of the wet stuff is welcome, at least for me. But what to do if you're not a fan? If you're wanting to stay inside from the rain, here's a short list of things to do.
There is no grand adventure post for this Sunday (although I promise something is coming soon!). The closest I got was going out to Boleskine Road's Uptown Bistro for the first time for dinner last night, which was quite lovely.
