Looking for Our New Home

The couple that have been managing the farm at The Portal, are now looking for a new home on Thetis.
The last of the animals are being sold off so our services are no longer required.

We have 65 years combined restorative farming/gardening experience that we may be able to help you
with in your garden. A very diverse set of skills could be available to you; construction, minor
vehicle repairs, equipment, solar pv supply and installation, and many more.

We have a long 5th wheel RV that we can live in for three seasons. So an acreage with wider access
if it twists and turns would work. If you have some other projects you need done, just let us know.

contact: Liz, lotusland49@gmail.com, or David, info@lotuslandvineyards.com

1.  ¼ to ½ HP 1725 RPM electric motor suitable for
Drill press. 110 or 220 volt okay.

Phone Book 2020

The phone book is almost done, but there are still a few people, mostly ones new to the island who I can't include because I can't reach them to get their permission or their details.  

Having at least some contact information in the phone book is a considerable aid to the Fire Department/First Responders.  

There's no obligation to do it, and we certainly don't put anyone in there without permission, but if you would care to be included, please let me know in the next two weeks.  

The next book won't come out for another two years, so now's the time to think about it!
