A couple of retired journalists who fled the corporate world for a quieter life on a small island between Victoria and Vancouver on Canada's west coast, we enjoy travelling and camping. A blog of our last big trip (On Burroed Time, burroedtime.blogspot.ca) tells as much about us as anyone could want to know. We love music and meeting old friends, even if it's for the first time.
