An enjoyable trip to Sechelt -- first to the home of Helen and Dave Ible, in whose guest suite I stayed, then Anne and Geoff Carr’s, who hosted a potluck in my honour.

The event took place at the Doris Cowan Gallery at the Sunshine Coast Arts Centre, where I read from 8x10 as well as the paper I gave last August on gardening and Northwest Coast motifs at the Tlell Fall Fair, Haida Gwaii. Talewind Book’s Bev Shaw “manned” the book table while Susan Telfer from the Live Poets Society drove up from Gibsons.

Thank you to everyone who came out, and for your many thoughtful questions.
