We take the approach that if you do want to be here sharing our home and our lives we will be treating each other respectfully... If it is for you more just a place to stay while you tour the area...our place may not be for you. You are neither slave labour, nor are we operating a holiday camp.. If we are able to share with each other we will all get more from our experience. Rest assured,we are not totally off the wall yet we may live close to the edge! Cheers, and looking forward to sharing with you

Thanks again for the opportunity to meet you and stay at your beautiful spot on Quadra Island. Even in a friendly place like Canada I've rarely felt so welcomed and comfortable as we were in your home! It was a lot of fun learning how to dry wall, split wood, operate a chainsaw and germinate vege seeds.

Your nose will smell
The great food that Maria made!
A lot of good meeting you will have in parallel
Around a good fire and after the dinner bell
Because Maria and Jim are very loved
You will meet all their great people
The brink of chaos, he said
But what we saw there
Wasn’t the… read more
