Originally from West Yorkshire, UK, I emigrated to SW Ontario in 1968 and having done much traveling during that time led me to The Sunshine Coast of BC where I settled 18 years ago having found 'Paradise.'
My home is close to the Ocean separating the mainland from Vancouver Island. Vancouver is just a 40 minute scenic ferry crossing from here. We have the best of both worlds - peaceful surroundings, little traffic, boutique shops, bistros, yet close for a city visit.
