WestPorch Festival 2026 is just a week away!! Thanks to a group of dedicated volunteers, this annual grass-roots festival is returning on Saturday, September 19th! Kevin, Sam C***s and I are super stoked to be performing on the The Black Dog Inn stage from 1PM-5PM, with a VERY special guest 😎- all the way from Pender Island BC - the amazing Sarah Smith Music. The entire village of Wesport will be alive with music. Entry is by donation - stroll through the streets and check out all of the amazing local live acts performing on porches everywhere. Wind up your day at The Cove Inn at the Westporch Wrap Party with 80s ENUFF from 8PM-11PM on the outside stage. Hope to see you there! 💜

HE IS HOME. THANK YOU EVERONE FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

Our lovely little cat Whitney went for a walk yesterday and did not come home for supper. That is really unusual for him. He didn't come home last night or for breakfast this morning. I am now starting to worry. If you see him, he is a friendly grey tabby. He is chipped and answers to his name.
