Not sure how much snow we will actually get; the forecast says Metro Vancouver shouldn’t be too bad. Hope you’re all safe wherever you are.

Finally! A chance to make collages of a wonderful weekend with friends and our annual gathering at the Victoria Whisky Festival in January.
•
Part 1 - Friday/Saturday
• Journey over to Victoria on BC Ferries in a mild January day.
• Pre-dram dramming with the #whiskyfabric; delicious Westland Whiskey Garryana, finally got a chance to taste a spicy Bowmore Devil’s Cask, and a wide selection of drams to try
• Learning lineup! A nice range of whiskies to try and go into depth
• Friday night Grand Tasting with Old Pulteney, Scotland’s most northeasterly distillery. I discovered the 12YO on the recommendation by a barman and have wanted to try more so was chuffed to get into this class.
• A beautiful Saturday with a chance to get out in between classes for meals and some fresh air
• GlenAllachie - a distillery that had its barrels go into blends but with a change of ownership, now bottled under its own name as well as some other brands. An enjoyable discovery and perhaps a peated one I might buy for myself (MacNairs 12YO)
• Compass Box has developed quite a following for blended whisky. A great opportunity to taste a range and ogle over packaging 😍
• Northern Border Collection with Dr. Don Livermore. It was great to taste and learn more about Canadian whiskies as well as nerd out over some of the science behind aromas and flavours.
🥃
Thanks to all who led these Master Classes!

Spotting a pair of Bald Eagles was the highlight of the birthday walk at my beloved Burnaby Lake on a perfect 9°C afternoon in January!

How fun! My photo of the Mounties in the centre on the final Red Serge Tuesday in August would have been my number one photo in my Top Nine if it included the repost.☺️
Thanks Burnaby Village.❤️
“Played tour guide and driver last week and made a stop at Burnaby Village. It was the final Red Serge Tuesday with the local Burnaby RCMP detachment posing with visitors for one of the most Canadian of tourist photos. I snapped this just as I was leaving. 🇨🇦

Happy New Year! And thank you to all of you for making it such a fabulous year at the Burnaby Village Museum! • • •
Heritage Christmas is open daily until January 4 and is your last chance to visit before our next opening at Spring Break! #heritagechristmas #burnabyvillagemuseum #topnine #2018topnine
Keeping up the tradition of a New Year’s Day Walk at my beloved Burnaby Lake! A later start and the onset of darkness made a change in route but any time spent at the Park is always time well spent and good for the soul.
1. Sports fields all nice and green
2. One of the beaver ponds
3. Hoping to see one of the Bald Eagles in its usual spot and was so happy when I rounded the bend and saw it (the big blob, better photos on SLR)
4. The route - still 8.13 km at 4°C.
5. Nest boxes awaiting servicing this month
6. One of the raised boardwalks which I love
7. Native Douglas squirrel feasting on the bird seed walkers leave out during winter
8. Moi in a rare selfie🙋🏻♀️(⬅️should this be a costume one day?😄) on Deer Lake Brook bridge
9. One of the massive cedars lost during the recent windstorm 😢I left the trail in the photo for scale
10. Sunset at Piper Spit
11. Resolution Achievement unlocked!

One of my goals is to get back to writing by hand and cursive handwriting. When I was doing a big sort and purge, I found my old notes from university and was impressed how neat everything was. Keyboarding and tapping has done a number on my penmanship so I want to do something about it. I discovered #rockyourhandwriting on Instagram and Facebook and was intrigued to try...in fits and starts. I didn’t post very much because of the inner critic. However, this year I’m going for it (though I might not post here all the time). It was one of the reason I treated myself to this beautiful Oasis Notebook by Itoya Profolio. 😍beautifully smooth to the hand which was really nice to write with fountain pen and no ghosting. It also has such wonderful features to help with spacing, lining up text and drawing grids.
•
There is a daily list of prompts for the month and it can be interpreted any way you wish.
•
While many likely write something philosophical about the start of the new year, somehow this tune got into my head and I had to go with it!
•
Noticeable difference between the full list written at a table with natural light vs the individual prompt written on a lap desk and not very good lighting! Things to adjust for tomorrow!

My #2018bestnine - no surprises really! Whiskies, sunsets, skies and chuffed my January 1, 2018 walk at my happy place made it in. Here’s to more of these beautiful moments in 2019!🎉🥂🍾🥃🌄
Christmas dinner in tonight instead of going out. My sister made butternut roast cauliflower purée, roast lamb and veg. Late notice but was able to find in the makeshift cellar this 21 year old Wyndham Estate Show Reserve Cabernet Merlot 1997. Fruit is still fresh - berries, plum, hint of violets and cedar. Soft spice, softened tannins and oak.🍷

A bit of brightness and beauty on this gloomy, cold almost winter day. White Hellobores in the area landscaping and they do well in this frosty weather and in the shade.
