Chef's special

Darin is preparing the Peking Duck. It will be a special dish on saturday. He also made the fish-sausages for our Bouillabaise. They will be grilled and then served with the soup and Aioli-Sauce - mmmh delicious!

Under construction!

The front-area of the restaurant has been reshaped, so that now, people can actually see the restaurant while driving by. Trees and bushes have been cut down and concrete has been put in, to put up the new fence. Tomorrow is Mother's Day, one of the busiest days of the year!

Lucky Luke for one day

This farm with 72 horses, is located outside Vernon. We decided to go horseback riding - yhaa! So we picked up some friends in Vernon and went to this place, located in the nowhere. The place was a real mess. They sure looked after the horses but the inside of the house was really chaotic and smelled of catpiss - eeeehhhh!


Defenitely not the first time on a horse! We even got real cowboy boots.


Corinne got "Bandit Boy". I don't know if he was so pleased about it...


The dogs really loved my sister!

What is that?

To cure Nicole's cold, she treated herself with flax-seed wrappers around her face, drank ginger-lemon tea and rubbed tiger balm on her chest. It did not look pretty, but it helped. She is on her feet again and can drive around in her new "Äntli" again. We found the car in Penticton and got a very good deal on it. On May 1st we finally will move to Penticton in our new suite...

Wine Tasting Tour

On my day off, we went on a little wine tasting tour to the Okanagan Falls and Oliver with my boss Darin and the head waiter Victor. On the way home, we picked up some old barrels to decorate the outside of the restaurant. It was snowing again, last week and the temperatures dropped to a risky level for all the fruit trees to -5° at night. We also visited some locations for a possible apartement or suite...

Nice little Marmets

On our last hiking tour (we actually wanted to climb up the Pincushion Mountain, but ended up completely elsewhere) we met two little marmets, wondering around their neighbourhood. And we are still looking forward to meet the bear. All we found was his prints in the snow, damn!

Discovering the area

Spring has not yet arrived in the Okanagan and snow is still covering the mountains, surrounding the lake. We enjoy discovering the area of Peachland and landed on a little farm, where we get our eggs. The Garage sales start picking up soon too and we already are exited to get some cheap stuff!
