We were given a very friendly welcome and helped with carting luggage up the slope (arrived on a snowy day).
Interesting chat about literary stuff, a shared interest since they are poet/publishers and we are writers. they gave us a tour of their in-house press and publications that evening.
Saltspring is magical; the home is a short walk down the hill into Ganges, full of little art galleries and eateries, a lively artistic and cultural scene. Spectacular scene overlooking the harbour, full moon that night. Complete privacy, surrounded by trees.
