Oooh, more west coast friends!

do you also have that moment of dismay when you log in in the mornings and everyone with a three hour head start is already getting to their lunch chats?

We have moved to Saltspring with a population of around 11k. I’m slowly adjusting to seeing people again, but having neighbors in sight is quite strange to me still.
