Vancouver weekend

We recently spent a weekend in Vancouver...
attended the AGM for the cottage strata, shopped, walked, enjoyed lunches and dinners out.
We also met up with friends we knew when my husband attended school over there...
we have kept in touch...over 40 years!


The view from our hotel.


A wee bit of snow on Grouse Mountain.


We did not stop for tea...


We opted for a Chinese dinner at a small restaurant on Robson Street 
after our afternoon walk and shopping.
The food was delicious and obviously a popular spot with the locals 
as there was a steady line up outside the door.


A fresh new candle...
and a few goodies in the bags.


Some loose tea...


A refill for my Hermes fragrance.
Mr. HB bought his Hermes scent as well.

We dined at an Italian restaurant called Cin Cin and the food was amazing!


Grilled lettuce with pancetta...
a WOW moment for this Hostess!
It was actually more like a "Meg Ryan" moment.
(the scene from When Harry Met Sally!)


Mr. HB enjoyed Osso Bucco
and I opted for the lamb chops with lentils.
NOM NOM NOM


A single bloom in the bathroom packed a powerful pop of colour.

We enjoyed our weekend getaway in the big city!


We will be busy getting ready for Christmas here in The Humble Bungalow.
The wreath has been hung on the front door 
inspired by the Country Living Christmas issue there will be more festive touches coming soon.

Hope that you are enjoying your week.
