WEEKLY SHOUT OUT – The B Side
Howdy there, pretty ponies! How are you, colts and fillies? We hope you have been having a lovely, sun filled weekend. As it happens, our favourite things this week all begin with the letter B. But let us not beat around the bush (see what I did there?) let us get down to brass buttons, err, tacks. Bao, a new Asian […]
Weekly Shout Out – Saint Franks, Andy Shauf, Turtle Express
Greetings pretty ponies! First of all, we apologize that our hiatus from web wrangling went on much longer than anticipated. We won’t bore you with the particulars, suffice to say, work/family obligations took precedent. Believe us when we say that if we had our druthers, we’d be out Horsing Around 24/7 but, sometimes, a man […]
Saltchuck Pie Company
Hello there, pretty ponies! We hope you have been getting along great. First of all, we apologize for the long hiatus. Work beckoned, and while we’d love to Horse Around 24/7, even dear old Monty has to work to earn his hay, er “pay”. No matter, we are delighted to be back, and just in […]
La Taqueria – Victoria
Hello there, pretty ponies: It is no secret that we at H.A. H.Q. go rangy for all things Mexican – ESPECIALLY the nosh. As if in answer to our prayers, a number of quality Mexican eateries have cropped up around Victoria, each having its own devoted customer base. We don’t blame you one bit Victoria. […]
Malahat Chalet/Moonwater Lounge
Good afternoon, pretty ponies! A couple of times a year, we like to go on a mini-getaway right here on Vancouver Island. Last week, with Valentine’s Day looming and canoodling on our minds, we decided to make the short trek down the Malahat to scenic Moon Water Lodge. Moon Water Lodge, a casual, chalet style […]
Spinnakers Pub
Good afternoon, pretty ponies! On a weekend afternoon, there is nothing we enjoy more than sauntering along the Songhees, the picturesque walkway which extends from the west end of the Johnson Street Bridge, all the way down through to the municipality of Esquimalt. Along the way, we ogle the harbour views. If we make it […]
Bard and Banker Pub
Good morning, pretty ponies! We hope you are having a happy hump day. We regret how little we have posted the last few weeks. Work obligations and winter colds temporarily got the better of us, but we’re back and darned pleased about it too, as there is so much to delight in, in our fair […]
Weekly Shout Out
Good afternoon, pretty ponies: The cold weather has abated at last and we at Horsing Around have resumed the weekend ritual of long afternoon walks. A favourite destination for our ambling adventures is Thetis Lake. During the summer month’s, the crowds at this popular hot spot can be formidable, but in the depths of winter, […]
Weekly Shout Out
Hello there pretty ponies! Horsing Around was on hiatus over the holidays so that we could spend a little time with family and friends. We hope you had a lovely Christmas and New Year. Future editions of Weekly Shout Out will appear on Sunday. We made an exception this week because a) we have been away […]
Frank’s Honey Bun Cafe
Hello there chicklets! Paltry Pete here, Victoria’s pre-eminent, value oriented rooster. The holidays are fast approaching, and we need to keep our strength up for the onslaught of family, work, and social obligations that keep our timetables overflowing from now through to January. We want to fill our bellies for nourishment and succour, but we […]
