In the fourth episode of season 5 of “Postcards From…” showing on the Accessible Media Incorporated television network and streaming service host Christa Couture takes us to Salt Spring Island, British Columbia. It is quaint and relaxing and the drone photography and commentary of Couture makes it a tempting Canadian tourist destination.
Couture takes pains to not only describe and visit some interesting sites but the focus in this episode is more on her interactions with people she encounters while swimming with a well seasoned women’s swimming club making 44 year old Couture feeling like a spring chicken. Couture visits a sustainable farm near Ruckle Provincial Park where she learns how to milk a cow named Allison and gets jabbed in the gut by Allison’s horn! Then another farm growing “craft cannabis” where she is given a tour of the facility and makes a cannabis infused chocolate melt which she gingerly dips a strawberry in and down the strawberry goes down the hatch concluding the Harold and Kumar adventure. Carrying on the agricultural theme it is off to a honey producer. How many times did our host get stung? And since Salt Spring Island has a thriving artist community, she paints with gold leaf.
I must say there is some oenophile discrimination going on here as Salt Spring Island has several wineries which are not mentioned or visited. Cannabis rules over vino in Episode 4!
