Beautiful Hornby Island

I've been on Hornby Island for 2 days. It is a very funky island. It's warm during the day with chilly nights. It's an amazing community here.
The island is busy preparing for the annual summer festival, which starts tomorrow night. Robin (the gardener where I am staying) and I are going to make a funky lantern for the opening ceremonies tomorrow night. Tonight, I'm checking out free, live music at the Cardboard House Bakery and Pizzaria.
I'm staying in this cute bunker-style caravan, with loft, little kitchen, etc. I'm equipped with all sorts of food for breakfast and lunch, and we have a communal dinner.

Before I left Galiano, I went into Sidney by the Sea for a day, to run some errands with Jen. Sidney has the most thrift shops per capita, I swear! So needless to say, my backpack keeps getting heavier with all the things that I am picking up along the way! Thank goodness I packed what I consider "disposable" clothing!

The garden is beautiful here-vegetables, fruit, herbs and flowers. Today I picked plums and did some watering and weeding. We also made flower arrangements to sell at the roadside. Everything is grown organically here, so I am eating very well and living off the land.
