Skwikw - in the land of the hoary marmot...

... which is the native's name for Whistler. Apparently, the place is named after the 'whistle' or call the hoary marmot (a ground squirrel) makes to warn the rest of the clan when danger is nigh. Personally, I quite like the name Skwikw :-)

Anyway, we made it to our new winter home.

The photos don't really do it justice as the living area is much larger than we remembered. The kitchen, on the other hand, doesn't have as much storage space as Badger, so I've had an interesting evening trying to fit everything in! On the plus side, there is a huge fridge and great big stove, so I can make us some lovely roasts. The rest of the unpacking will have to wait for tomorrow as I am absolutely knackered! Time for a nice soak in the bath...
