I imagine him then moving to California and rarely going outside.
Vancouver weather is pretty close to London England, except sandwiched between an ocean and majestic mountain range.
- daviding 12y agoYep, I've lived 10 years London and now 10 years Vancouver and it's comparable. It's probably even nicer in Vancouver, as we have a ground pool and air conditioning here, while in London those were more of a rarity. Vancouver does get a very grey and miserable November, but the Spring/Summers are usually very good. It's a cliche, but I've often done the 'ski in the morning up the mountain, swim in the sea in the afternoon' May/June. That's got to be good, right?
- increment_i 12y agoIt sure sounds good. Is it actually good?
- daviding 12y agoSure, we love it and we're lucky to have lots of choice on where to live in the world (UK/US/Canada docs now). Just vacation somewhere with less rain or more sunlight in November if it gets to you. Flights aren't that cheap here, but we usually just drive down to Seattle (2h) and fly to Vegas/Maui/SoCal for a good deal from there.
- otoburb 12y agoI miss looking north and seeing the mountains in Vancouver.
- cperciva 12y agoI think the cliche is "ski in the morning, go surfing in the afternoon, and play golf in the evening". ;-)
- arethuza 12y agoVancouver seems to get a lot more rain than London (about twice as much) and nearly as much as Glasgow.
- lennel 12y agoanecdotally I would say Vancouver gets more sunshine as well.
