You know that ...I wish you a great cottage holiday!<br />You know that I have been to Hope years ago - I believe it was in 2010 or 11. It was a great two days with two sets of uncles and aunts; they were so active and fit back then. Sadly, one of the uncles has developed dementia in the past years. I wonder whether he remembers our visit to Hope and beyond.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-83296760376391796392021-09-03T02:53:35.489+01:002021-09-03T02:53:35.489+01:00There's a BC town just east of Vancouver calle...There's a BC town just east of Vancouver called Hope.
