Away For A Few Days

[Carillon]

Just a quick note to anyone who's looking for either me or one of my characters in the next couple of days that you may find it harder to catch me online than usual. I'm on Vancouver Island doing some volunteer work in schools for the week and am very busy, but I'll likely be home again this weekend.

Ciao!

Edit: Oh! As a random aside, if you're curious about what Vancouver Island looks like, take a browse through landscapes, nature, wildlife, etc in this photo gallery.

That's where I grew up before I became a city girl!

Seriously, though, have a good trip, enjoy all that glorious landscape up there.

*giggles* You're kidding, right?

Southern Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands have what is probably the mildest climate in Canada. Our average summer temps are in the mid 20s in Celsius (that's 70-80 for you Fahrenheit folks) and it rarely dips below 0 degrees Celsius, even in the coldest parts of winter (32 degrees F).

If you want to mock us, mock us for our rain. (It's classified as a temperate rain forest biome.)
