Miracle Beach
View from the basket
The Quimper Hitty human and her faithful Hitty companions made an overnight trip for an up-island birthday. They stopped at Miracle Beach to see if anything wondrous was occurring.
Chilly
Snow on the shore was pretty wonderful! Unfortunately, Hitty coats and mittens were left behind at the Hitty cupboard.

Huddling
Fortunately there is always a quilt in the bottom of the Hitty basket, so the Hittys huddled together and kept warm!
Roger’s Chocolate
The human offered up her Roger’s Chocolate Victoria Cream as an apology for forgetting the winter gear…

Chocolate
Quimper Hittys 
Looks like all’s well and has ended well…and a thanks for the intro to this BC chocolates…they sound great. Trusting you all had a nice time in your celebration.
M-m-m Victoria Creams are very yummy, and best shared between at least four people! The Four-year-old’s birthday party was delightful, and the quilt a fortuitous and beautiful emergency substitute for warm coats!!
Hope your trip was fun and that the birthday celebration was full of delights. The chocolate al fresco certainly looks delightful!
It was all fun, though a long way to drive for such a short visit, we did enjoy ourselves and would do it again!
I can’t think of anything in this world that chocolate doesn’t make better. Bet the Hitty’s relished going to your granddaughter’s 4th birthday party. What a fun time.
The Hittys were happy to be invited, and the chocolate was very fortifying!
That was wondrous indeed! What a lovely beach. So glad the girls had a quilt to snuggle under. What happened to ‘Be Prepared’ 😉 Well I guess you were kind of as the quilt was to hand.
Luckily the human didn’t forget warm sweaters and mittens for herself! We always travel with a Hitty Quilt, and they also had nightgowns…the quilt was pretty nice to have and snuggly in the emergency!
Snow on the shore was beautiful! I’m sure the Hittys didn’t even think about not having coats because they were having such a good time.
They did have a good time, and they had no complaints or goosebumps! Lucky little wooden girls!
ahhh, a winter picnic with friends..what could be better. Hope the birthday weekend was as much fun for the Quimper humans!
Winter picnics (especially with chocolate) are fun!
forgot to ask…why is it called Miracle Beach??
BC Place Names says “The story goes that after the Cape Mudge Indians had befriended a supernatural stranger, giving him food and shelter, he rewarded them by giving them wealth and prosperity, but warned them not to become proud in consequence. When they became overweening, however, the Cowichans attacked them. The stranger came a second time and saved them. As a reminder of the lesson taught to them, he worked a great miracle, turning an Indian princess into Mitlenach Island.
