About Me
- Alex
- Vancouver and Moberly Lake, BC, Canada
- Alex in BC, his partner, their son, and daughter built a 20 x 28 two-story log house in the wilderness of British Columbia, by hand, without electricity, phone, and seven miles in on a road not passable some of the year. They are experienced gardeners, cooks and canners, log builders, drip irrigation experts, farmers and land developers, and wood choppers. In other words, they are backwoods farmers who try to make everything work with what they have. They practice a stretching Yoga exercise routine in preparation for their daily meditation. As you might imagine, they are vegetarians, and like to cook. Speaking of cooking, she cooks and bakes everything, and he likes to cook Chinese dishes based on an encyclopedia of English written Chinese recipes compiled by their friend. Not only does she cook, she also makes stunning braided wool rugs, quillows, jewelry, and bread (well that's cooking too, but seems like something else, basic and different.) It might seem strange, but he is a mechanical engineer. On the other hand, you might guess that they both enjoy working in nice places, like at their log cabin, and in their garden.
