Without doubt Vancouver is a city set in a stunning location, encircled by what are currently green covered mountains and water. The regular hum of floatplanes going about their daily business and a people who are secure in who they are and carry themselves in quite, non aggressive confidence that they know they live in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

Today the sun has lit up the North Shore, fluffy white clouds are drifting across of the mountains opposite, only the workman like passage of floatplanes are disturbing the water.

Fresh coffee, excellent pastries….. homemade mango jam…. this is the way to start the day.
