Musings of a wine ninja striving through life…

  • Naramata Bench Wineries; Part One

    This project was a fun one and twofold. After all I am new to working on the Naramata Bench and I needed to try some of the wineries that I was unfamiliar with and secondly, I needed to procure some wine for a friend that had helped remove some of the flooding aftermath devastation that […]

  • Welcome to my blog, ZWineNinja update

    I love November. It is still reminiscent of my favourite month October and just before the mad rush of Christmas when everything calms down. Harvest time, a time for new beginnings, new possibilities and a path laid down fresh.  Here is a sidewalk selfie from the summer, no doubt taken at a local winery on […]

  • NaBloPoMo part deux circa 2015….

  • Love Locks on the Albert Docks, UK

    We were walking along the Albert Docks yesterday when I noticed several locks on the chain fences by the water. My Aunt explained to me that this is what people do in Liverpool; lock the padlock and throw away the key, so your lock remains there as a symbol of your love. Cool idea, there […]

  • Train bound, my favourite method of transport

    I love trains. They are classic, timeless, and still one of the most efficient ways of travel. Funnily enough other than transit travel, I have not yet been on a cross country train yet in Canada. That shall be remedied at a later date to be sure. Today’s journey was to Liverpool and after a […]

  • Visiting Edinburgh

    It has been many a year since I have visited Edinburgh, but it is still as beautiful as ever. So rife with history and pride, the castle stands tall over all the lands below. I went to visit a fellow Canadian friend who now lives there and had a lovely time. While we were there, […]

  • Ninja Trip Day two

    So. On day two of the trip aka the continuing day of no sleep, cranky crying children aboard planes and almost 30 hours of not eating we were moseying around the Amsterdam airport in search of coffee and “food-that-would-not-kill-me”. What a beautiful airport! I cannot even fathom the size of it as it took quite […]
