Visiting family in Victoria, and am enjoying lovely autumn days; everywhere you look, an array of autumn colour in every shade, from deep red to golden yellow, and everything awash with glorious sunshine.
Walking down Cook Street - pass a second hand shop which was selling 'Experienced Goods'. Doesn't this give the items in the shop a more dignified status? - they are not weeded out from people's overfilled cupboards, they are now available to tell their life story to somebody new.
Outside the Empress Hotel there is a statue of Emily Carr, one of Canada's most prominent artists and writers. The statue shows her with her favourite monkey Woo on her shoulder, one of her dogs by her feet, and her sketchbook at the ready on her lap.
