that is a beautiful part of BC, further in the interior than me. Hot summers there means that it has quickly turned into BC's wine region, and very good they are too. I may be slightly bias in that tho' as I try to drink and eat locally where possible, so we mainly drink BC wines

Bunuel, Dad will not know but his wife will. He will be more than willing to get her to contact you.
I went with her once. A large nursery to the North of Victoria (about 40 mins drive to the N).
I was lucky enough to tour into the Rockies a few years back for a 3 week spell with dad and my daughter. I remember sampling many lovely cherries, apricots and grapes in the Okanagan, and swimming in warm lakes. It was beautiful.
Tigger did you ever manage to visit?

Maybe a person's time would be as well spent raising food as raising money to buy food - Frank A. Clark.
Yes - we used to go out there regularly. Lyndon's uncle (his mum's brother) has lived in Alberta since he was in his twenties. His mum took early retirement from teaching and she and her second husband sold up their home in Devon and went out to Canada in the late 70's. They started off in Alberta and ended up in the Okanagan where they were very happy.
