Everyone should be able to walk to the store or post office along a path through the woods filled with dappled sunshine and a riot of autumn colours and smells like we can on Bowen Island. We’re in for at least two days of brilliant fall sunshine bringing also frosty patches in the morning.
People squinting their eyes from it and smiling while boarding the ferry, forgot my book of boarding passes for the ride back and glad the ATM coughed up a $20. No rush to catch the #250 bus to Ambleside Safeway grocery store, just soaking up the sun on the benches on the Horseshoe Bay side. The #250 is the scenic route, twisting and turning past the golf course between the million dollar homes anchored to the steep slopes and cliff faces.
Plenty of seating, just after noon so the Philippine house cleaners and Au Pairs are busy or have their charges down for a nap. Most of the time the drone of the engine and bus tires makes it hard not to nod off, but the North Fraser Delta is having one of its spectacularly scenic days.
