As an operator of a B&B – http://www.bbvancouverisland-bc.com – who welcomes guests to the Comox Valley from all over the world, I am always on the lookout for infomation about events and attractions around the valley to help visitors experience the unique flavours of our corner of the world. This article and http://www.ourbigearth.com are a source I will return to regularly to keep up to date on things that make our valley worth visiting. Thanks for being out there.

I’ve never even thought of making juice from melons! That’s a fantastic idea. Now if only it would get hot again so I could test out just how refreshing it really is…

I’m a big fan of plain old cold tap water with lemon slices in it.

We enjoy lemonade with a bit of gin, then we toss in a strawberry ice cube (pureed fresh strawberries that I poured into ice cube trays and froze) which then melts wonderfully into the mix. Yum!

My Nana loved gin and tonics or rye and gingerale….I just couldn’t get into! My favorite drink on a hot evening is water with lotsa of ice and cucumber. It is so refreshing and easy and boring but it floats my boat. If I need something with a little more oompf – peaches and cream – peaches, strawberries, frozen banana and 1/2 cup coconut milk – divine!

I second the gin and tonic, but I also love an entire honey dew melon blended up with a bit of ice – so incredibly refreshing! Try adding parsley to get your greens in and it’s the most wonderfully surprisingly delicious taste sensation!

Plain old Gin and Tonic girl here – though finding Diet Tonic is getting harder and harder…….

Thank you, Robin. Went and looked at Aspenware yesterday after your post and it looks marvellous; can’t wait to try it out (any excuse for another picnic). Like the best things, they seem to have taken a very simple idea, good construction, and bingo – a wonderful product. Woo hoo – if they are good, we’ll be getting some bulk in!
Cheers.

Watermelon juice. We are watermelon fanatics here. Just blitz some in the blender with a little water if needed. Ahhh!

Ahhhhh…Beaufort Vineyards is just one more validation that we live in paradise!

I still like a cup of hot herbal tea in the evening in the summertime. Eventhough its hot, it cools me down. Lately I have been brewing some crushed mint from the garden and adding some shavings of ginger, honey, and lemon.

The kids are in bed with summer in their skin…the sun drops with the temperature…and hot tea sorts me out rightly.
