Chemainus was a lovely small town famous for it murals of life in the area in by-gone times.
From the village park I heard fiddle music which sounded familiar. To my delight I discovered a group of Danish folk-dancers in their native costumes dancing an open stage. I could hardly believe it, but it was great. I was invited to meet with them after the performance. They came from the Island of Syd-Funen, but were wearing costumes from the areas from where they originated all over Denmark. The ladies had made all their own and the men's costumes. It reminded me of my time as a Danish girl-guide, when I modelled a native costume my mother and other ladies had made for the local girl-guide group more than 50 years ago.
From Vancouver Island we took the ferry to Saturna Island, where Jane and Brian have made a beautiful home, surrounded by nature and a stunning views over the sea.
Yesterday morning when I opened my eyes I was a doe and two sweet little fawns on the lawn outside the open window and in the background a sea-eagle was resting on a rock on the shore. It is so beautiful and the the nature seems so un -touched here.
