Hi all,

As some of you might know Mal and I are in Canada now where we have bought a bed and breakfast, which we have been renovating over the last 6 months.
It took months to decide what to call it and I know it's not Malaz but it suits the place as we're on a hill.

The website itself is still being worked on, along with photographs, but we are on Booking. com now (and doing quite well out of them - but that works both ways ;)).

So anyone wants to come and see us - Salt Spring Island is pretty awesome :thumbsup:

I bet that with a name like that, you can get GRRM to stay! The photos make it look very cozy :thumbsup:

I would recommend hiring a professional photographer to take interior pics with good lighting (or research lighting interiors and DIY) just to give them a little more polish.

EDIT: Do you also offer concierge-like services (e.g. letting people know where the cool places to go are)? If so, might wanna mention that in the description.

That's not a glitch, that's a feature.
Yesterday, upon the stair, I saw a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today. Oh, how I wish he'd go away.

Have you taught Mal not to swear at the guests yet?

Hah! And then she'll find the solution for global warming and build the foundation for world peace.

Besides, why would I ever visit if I didn't know Mal would swear at me?

My ex and my son live just across the sound in Marysville, Washington. I actually almost booked time at a resort in San Juan recently. You guys aren't all that far off really and I could probably go over to Port Angeles and take a ferry to Victoria and come up some visit. That actually sounds like an awesome place. I love the website. I hope you both have amazing success!

It's all part of the ambience. Along with firewater-drinking and cow suit abuse. Though the latter might be prohibited under state legislation. Akevitt is probably confiscated at the border as well.

They'd have an exorcist purify it on the spot I suspect. Which is why I will hide it inside the cow suit. Clever, see.

If they have any sense at all it is. :p

Ah, website works now.

Lovely, I want to go over there during your summer. :thumbsup:

Winter was really mild here Mezla - only had one day of around 1cm of snow.

Also - it's a gentler and kinder Mal these days - some of you may find it hard to believe!

Our first test visitor was Steve and his wife - they lived on Salt Spring Island way back when he was a stripling youth :thumbsup: It was great - Steve took us around the island and showed us the beaches and such - there's nothing like digging through a shell-midden on a cold rainy day. I could do stuff like that any time - fascinating.

Anyways - Many thanks for the good wishes - I'd love for some fantasy fans to come and stay.

Hey! I'm just a ferry ride away!

Can't go anywhere now because I'm having some serious health problems and a major surgery coming up in 1 month. But I promised myself a small vacation if I live through this and it looks like a nice place to do some recuperation.

Hmm... Manchester - Vancouver is £625 each so it's not outside the realms of possibility...
