It all about OUR GUESTS

some days it is so easy to get wrapped up

into the construction & new developments creation and design...

then along come a group of wonderful young future entrepreneurs

to remind us to stop and remember

it's all about OUR GUESTs

and how much they appreciate CRAIDELONNA

this weekend welcomed the students of

ROYAL ROADS UNIVERSITY

and the mentorship program - personal development retreat

progress

"pave paradise"

has a whole new concept
- the charcoal brick deck emerges -
as sun sets at the end of a long day...

laying the groundwork

a compass is now forming on the ground
with the waves finding their places and positions
it all just looks like dirt right now..
as alex and his crew begin to lay the foundations and groundwork
for the new slate wave deck and compass
it becomes....

the DEstruction for CONstruction

the old entrance archway and gate house is coming down today
in anticipation of a new phone booth with information center
a fully gated entrance this season
is intended to keep as many wild critters out of the fruit trees as possible

a second project on the go always keeps things interesting
so today we begin the excavation of the side patio
with the plans for the continuation of the slate wave
and charcoal interlock brick
( thoughts of a compass emerge)

windstorms & tulips

Easter Weekend

(95+ km/hr) WINDSTORM

had little effect to these sturdy tulips that grow below the bull kelp railing on the crest of the ocean front cottage porch, these delicate flowers turned into the powerful winds seemingly engineered for no damage to their structure

(nature in harmony & balance )

numerous trees along the sooke road sides didn't fair as well, this weekends' storm filled the house with guests..regardless of being without power for 31 hours.. with a bit of survival training and a touch of community, a bunch of candles and loads of boardgames.. the wood burning sauna was stoked up, all our guests were kept happy and warm.. everyone had a memorable weekend..

since the each one of us got to experience first hand
