A Kootenay Buzz: Frogs dawn a new Season
http://smilinghills.blogspot.com/2012/04/frogs-dawn-new-season.html
Random blog of an Englishman living in the Kootenays, British Columbia. Natasha Miles, author. Smiling Hills Bed and Breakfast. Saturday, April 14, 2012. Frogs dawn a new Season. I’m running well at the moment, for no apparent reason. I’m not training particularly hard, but each time I go out, I seem to be able to push myself a bit harder. A bit further. Life yet in the old body eh? Overall, and Natasha 9. Oh yeah, right. My sister turned up trumps the other day. She pulled together a meeting of mind...

A Kootenay Buzz: Adieu or Aurevoir?
http://smilinghills.blogspot.com/2011/10/adieu-or-aurevoir.html
Random blog of an Englishman living in the Kootenays, British Columbia. Natasha Miles, author. Smiling Hills Bed and Breakfast. Tuesday, October 11, 2011. The weather was the first hurdle. Canadian Airlines decided that the storm was so bad that no flights were happening. So how to get from Kelowna to Victoria in next to no time? On pondering our choices, the announcement came that the plane had sneaked in and all should be ok (just how does a flight sneak in. My 422km journey started 85 minutes later, j...

A Kootenay Buzz: Club midweek run
http://smilinghills.blogspot.com/2014/05/club-midweek-run.html
Random blog of an Englishman living in the Kootenays, British Columbia. Natasha Miles, author. Smiling Hills Bed and Breakfast. Friday, May 16, 2014. The Midweek Club Run May, England. I checked out the meeting venue, the Kings Arms in Portesham, beforehand, just so I knew exactly where to go. I did not want to be late, or make an embarrassing entry. I arrived early, the sun still very much in the sky but starting to sink and turn a vivid orange. Struth. Was this a race? Had I missed something? 8221; Wit...

A Kootenay Buzz: July 2011
http://smilinghills.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Random blog of an Englishman living in the Kootenays, British Columbia. Natasha Miles, author. Smiling Hills Bed and Breakfast. Monday, July 18, 2011. Yet another thunderstorm kicked in, and as I sheltered under one of our massive cedar trees, I watched the ferns and bracken dance to the beat of the raindrops. I would have missed that I had remembered my man made shelter. Look for nature, don’t hide from it. Good times. Tim. Links to this post. Sunday, July 10, 2011. The lazy days of summer. As Richard f...

A Kootenay Buzz: August 2011

Random blog of an Englishman living in the Kootenays, British Columbia. Natasha Miles, author. Smiling Hills Bed and Breakfast. Friday, August 19, 2011. Natasha let slip the other day, as we were heading back down the sublime, very English ‘London Ridge’, high above the Kaslo mountain pass, that it was only seven weeks to go till Marathon Day. Gulp. This is getting serious, I thought. My running is going well, and I am feeling strong. Will I make sub 3.30 in Victoria? Now, that is serious. View my comple...

http://smilinghills.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Random blog of an Englishman living in the Kootenays, British Columbia. Natasha Miles, author. Smiling Hills Bed and Breakfast. Sunday, September 18, 2011. With the summer of 2011 drawing to a close, we await with a degree of wonder to ‘what next? 8217; Last winter was pretty full-on, great for winter sports and snow shoveling. The dogs were in daily doggy-heaven, but it was hard work with so much snow. We spy the mountain tops daily for a sticking white coat. The training is progressing for the October 9.

A Kootenay Buzz: A new year?
http://smilinghills.blogspot.com/2012/02/new-year.html
Random blog of an Englishman living in the Kootenays, British Columbia. Natasha Miles, author. Smiling Hills Bed and Breakfast. Sunday, February 12, 2012. Are we staring at the onset of spring? Thoughts are turning toward holidays, of which I have precious little. Perhaps Yellowstone Park for summer? But where do I find the time? Natasha is trying to find a publisher for her second book ‘An Immigrants Tale’, hoping to continue the success of ‘The Last Field…’. February 13, 2012 at 10:20 AM.
