Tellin’ stories at The Flame…September 1st

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

I’m performing on Wednesday, September 1st….Not as my one woman persona (Gumboot Lollipop) but as Dolly Hopkins the storyteller.

Come out for a night of short stories with a few laughs or maybe even some tears at the:

Cottage Bistro
4470 Main St., at 29th

The evening starts at 7pm sharp and the house fills up quickly so arrive before 7pm for the Early Dinner Special.

See you there!

actually…About OUT of Town

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

Way out of town we go to Tofino for some mando storm surfing.

For the last few years this salty sister and the gnarly Bertrand have been challenging the intense Pacific waves.

We camp and toast our toes by the fire, waking up to an overwhelming view.

Good Morning, Tofino!

During our last escapade to “Tough City”, Tofino’s nickname, we did something different for us, instead of just camping and surfing…we took a day trip to Stubbs Island (a.k.a. Clayoquat),  This privately owned island was gifted to The Land Conservancy under the Ecological Gifts Program to protect it’s heritage and natural values.

With it’s amazing Rhodo gardens (some over 90 years old), beaches, forest walks, and so much more, Stubbs Island is definitely worth the line up for the boat trip there and back!
