Well, the weatherman says that the sun is coming...it's still a bit gray over here on Pender, but it's definitely warmer than yesterday. Yesterday, we actually had a fire in our woodstove. A fire in May! That's the first time I've been able to say that in the five years since we moved here.
Hardly a big deal given the weather related events in other parts of the world, but my wife is getting a bit impatient for the warmer weather -- she has tomatoes and sunflowers bursting out of their seedling pots and ready to go into the garden. Get it together weather!
We have been promised a hot sunny weekend, along with the rest of southern BC, though, so you may want to gather the family together for a weekend of springtime camping here on Pender. As always, there's lots of stuff to do. Walks in the woods, a paddle on the lake or coastline, and of course, events planned by our very active community groups. There's something for everyone.

Properties and homes for sale on Pender Island, British Columbia, Canada. Listings include Pender Island real estate, Gulf Island waterfront properties and Vancouver Island homes.
Real Estate is about more than just buying and selling houses, it is about serving the people who live inside those homes as well as those looking for the perfect property to complement their dreams. I have worked in the service industry for most of my life so understand and embrace this concept.
Before coming to Canada from the U.K in 1994, I was a licensed safari guide working in Zambia, Kenya and South Africa. Since then I have traveled extensively, and lead many groups on "Around the World" tours enhancing my clients experiences based on their individual needs.
I moved to Pender Island in 2003 with my wife, Theresa, and we loved the island and its lifestyle from the very first day. If you live on island, you may have seen us walking our Dalmatian, Pongo, in the Magic Lake area. Next time you see us, please stop and have a chat! Pongo loves to meet people...
As your local Pender Island REALTOR® I am looking forward to getting to know more of you, and am committed to providing my services in a professional, friendly and honest manner that you can completely rely on.
Please email me, or come and see me at the Dockside Realty office in Historic Hope Bay, Pender Island, BC. See how I can help you negotiate one of lifes most important decisions with a dedicated professional by your side.
Are you interested in buying or selling property on Pender Island or in the Southern Gulf Islands area? My site and services are geared to help you buy or sell:
An area of the real estate business I am keen to focus on in future is the ecology of real estate, sometimes known as Green Realty. Many of us want to improve the energy efficiency of our homes or use sustainable materials in their construction. Some buyers are interested in island homes that already have these features, others would like to increase the value of their property and save money by adding them. It is an area of the business that is becoming increasingly relevant. As a complementary addition to my real estate business I am dedicated to increasing my knowledge of this subject through professional accreditations in order to serve our community better.
