It’s not the rain we find that’s a problem, per se. It’s the complete lack of light, lots of overcast days in winter, like the UK, though the summers are much better, as you know. (And a lack of ‘lights’ in homes, as you said….:)

We’re on the island, and find it drier than Vancouver. Victoria is a fine city, though some may say ‘windy’ but can’t have everything.

Cheers,

Gregor.
