"Now sit right back and I'll tell you a tale ..."
oops wrong seafaring TV show.
This is Gibsons Landing, a charming seaside town on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia and former film location of that international icon of Canadian television, The Beachcombers. The cast and crew are long gone but Molly's Reach lives on as a real restaurant and the village is chock a block with artists, galleries, award-winning gardens,
friendly locals and good food.

Langdale, BC on the north side of Howe Sound, on the southeast coast of the Sechelt Peninsula is the start of the final leg of he world's longest highway (the Pan-American or Highway 101). It begins in Southern Chile, stretching to its final destination at Lund which is 139 km up the Sunshine Coast from the BC Ferry terminal.
It is only 60 minutes from downtown Vancouver but the nighttime quiet is remarkable to a city girl like myself. The only way to get to the coast is by boat, insuring a small town lifestyle and atmosphere, especially in the off-season.

Labour Day At New Brighton

No. 5985 - 06 Sept 2010 - 12:03:39

Gastown, Vancouver

It is the last day of public outdoor swimming throughout the city and the weather makes it more melancholy than usual. Although it is raining, the water is warm and there are only three other people in the pool. The facility is off the beaten track and sits on the edge of the harbour alongside a park, beach (no swimming allowed), trains, bridges, and a grain elevator. Well worth the visit but the pool is now closed until Victoria Day Weekend 2011.

In the mind-set of West Side Vancouver, everything east of Cambie Street might as well be ROC (Rest of Canada).

The break down of digital equipment has put Dime Chronicle on hiatus for a few days. I have been offered a new lease on technology but these things take time. In the meantime I catch as catch can and try to borrow computer time from helpful souls (thanks Mom). I was able to save drafts from the last few days and will endeavour to post them this week.
