The best laid plans sometimes go a little screwy…
A year and a half (or more) ago, I started conversing with the Alpine Club of Canada about being an artist in residence (if ever so briefly) at one of their huts during the summer season as part of the Art of Philately project. We worked it out quite nicely, then I couldnt find a date to do it last summer. So last summer , I booked for THIS summer; July 13 to 16 to be precise…and then….
I arrived home from New Denver on July 1st (thanks to all of you who came out to my opening; it was great fun!).
And of course, thanks to Terri Freeman who as ever, does an incredible job as one of the hosts at the Hidden Garden Gallery. Oh yeah; and Pat Henman and Carol Street? Fabulous music ladies; thank you so much!.
Anyway… I arrived home to an email from the Alpine Club of Canada informing me (and all others who had booked for the summer) that there had been a massive rock slide and the trail in to the Kokanee Glacier Hut is CLOSED TIL FURTHER NOTICE.
Harumph. (and thats putting it mildly…).
What to do? Im busy trying to arrange “Plan B” or “Plan C” and will be sure to announce it as soon as whatever it is, is confirmed.
Geez, and I had even gone so far as to excercise (once or twice) so I could get up there in one piece. Oh well.!!!! Stay tuned.!…….chrs,DB
