Hornby 2019!
It’s starting to feel a lot like Hornby! Beautiful weather we’ve had this spring. I’ve been up since the beginning of May getting the cabin ship-shape. This lovely rose bush is on the deck of the Cardboard House Bakery, which I’m sad to report has closed permanently. I did see a sign for a new pizza oven just down the road at a winery. Will report back when I have sampled their wares.
And while I’m thinking of it… Unless your day starts at 5 AM you might want to consider bringing along a sleep mask. There are a lot of windows, also skylights in the cabin so if you’re a night owl like me, a sleeping mask is essential. They sell them at the Co-op.

Louis & The Orcas!
You may have met Louis Jobidon at Ford’s Cove when you went to rent a kayak. Over the last few years Louis has become known for his close encounters with Orcas. Here’s the latest, followed by one from 2014 that gained international attention. Louis’s YouTube Channel.

Hornby 2016
Here we go! Spring cleaning is complete, the Nasturtiums are poking out of the flower boxes and I’m getting into that Hornby state of mind.
Yer Mom Extreme Bike Trail
So that’s what those double diamonds on the trail map mean! I had never seen this before today. In the midst of a mildly grueling (my choice, there are miles of mellower bike/hike trails as well) I discovered the Yer Mom trail today. Shout out to the parks people who maintain these awesome trails!
