The weather in B C, Canada, involves me researching each location, as Josh moves from here to there, and back again.
This week he flies from Vancouver to Prince George, leaving with a temperature of maybe 4C, but arriving to minus 14C.!!! Then a 2 hour plus drive to Mackenzie for a 12 day work schedule . The days there start early, in the dark, and it will be colder, one weather App I looked at said :" Very Cold" for at least the first 6 days. And Canadian Very Cold is a lot colder than what we down here call cold.
I can track the flight, and then wait till he is again in mobile phone reception.A device similar to our PLB ( Personal Locator Beacon) means he is able to communicate when out of range, and some survival gear will be in the Ute.
This is similar to a friend in the Yukon, who flew to remote areas, she mentioned they carried a rifle, food for 3 days, something to start a fire, survival clothing, and at least one passenger had to know what to do if the pilot fell ill on the flight;.
Winter takes on a whole new meaning for anyone from down here, with fleece lined boots, foot and hand warmers, multiple layers, and more. The options when I look at the stores are massive, and so many different stores to venture into. I would be so spoilt for choices.
Back in Vancouver he posted this, a photo taken on his commute to work. I'm happy for you to identify the charming fellow .
'Meantime I have been sewing bags, fabric baskets with leather handles, playing card holders for the elderly with frail hands, or little ones with tiny fingers.And lots more. A Pop-Up-Shop in our driveway, or under the veranda if raining, 7th December, when friends will also participate. THIS is ample motivation to sew and sew more !!!!
And the latest , next venture will be sewing with Faux Leather panels, from MW Designs . Melanie lives on Waiheke Island , and recently had so many amazing designs printed. Photos to come when I summon up some courage to find a pattern and put a panel and a plain colour together.
