So many memories of Bernice and Len visiting us in UK and us staying with them in Vancouver, what a fabulous fun time we had being shown around the area, even country cross ski-ing in the rain on very wet snow at Whistler.
Bernice taught me how to bake sourdough bread, which I still do now!
Our lovely friends reunited, God Bless You Both xx
