Hi fellow Ferndalians
Here am I in the middle of an Okanagan Valley Summer which is in the southern Interior of British Columbia, Canada, it is an arid dry climate and the temperatures are between 35-37 deg. C. There is a lot of fruit grown here such as cherries, grapes, peaches,apricots, necterines, plums,apples,pears etc. with the aid of irrigation, which is pumped from the Okanagan Lake.The lake is 75 miles long and provides drinking, swimming boating water. I know you are having a heatwave in Wales at the moment, but we get prolonged heatwaves every summer, we do need Air conditioners both in our homes and cars.
The Lions that I follow are the British Columbia Lions which play a hard type of Canadian Football(not soccer). I sing in a Barbershop Choir ,hike many canyons and hills, play PICKLEBALL which is a easy form of tennis.
website is <www.pickleballkelowna.com>and enjoy my 5 Canadian grandkids.
Just an insight to a former valley boy from Lake Street, Ferndale
