Dinner bell

It's been a lovely day and now it's dinner time. When our kids were younger we used to ring a bell to summon them for meals. As Pavlov discovered this was very effective. We even developed a family whistle that even now works at attracting the attention of other family members. (This is what happens when two psychologists have children!)

We went to Applefest, our island's celebration of the apple. It's amazing to see 300 different varieties of apple on display from orchards on Salt Spring.

We had an old friend drop in for lunch which was great. She's a busy lady and travelling all over so it was particularly nice of her to spare some time for us.
