It may have appeared as though Derek and I dropped off the face of the earth sometime this past year.

It has been all-consuming and exhausting, driven by obsession bordering on madness, and has left time for little else. And now…dare I say…we’re done?

Several years ago Derek and I started vacationing on the beautiful Sunshine Coast and fell in love with Roberts Creek.

We found our house in summer and moved in September 1st. The past few months have been non-stop renos, yard work and getting the workshop built but we’re finally settled!
