Lynn's Story

Life Memories! I wed my dear Edward Davidson (Phew! Just 2 ½ months before my 40th birthday!) and we came here to Victoria, BC in ’93 to start what is now Binners’ B&B. Quite a leap from the ‘old’ days in Brampton and Bramalea. We enjoy lots of wonderful guests, from many amazing faraway places. Most of our business comes from our website, from the one by our association (WCBBIA) and from the one at TripAdvisor. Let's hear it for technology. It all started after Bob Weir and I hitched across Canada in early spring of ’68 to the magnificent west coast of Vancouver Island. Then Bill Camplin and I hitched around the N. E. states in the summer of ’69 . In July at a transplanted school pal’s home in Boston (ohboy! a shower and a real bed!), we watched, along with the whole world, Apollo 11’s moon landing. And, I shudder to admit that, even though we were right “in the neighbourhood” we chose NOT to go to the heavily advertised Woodstock! We passed up a moment in our era’s history! But we’d been to many such festivals and assumed this one’d be like the others ... too hot, too many drugs, not enough food, water or toilettes, and same old stars. Besides, a ‘glamorous’ TV actor in a ...Expand for more
red convertible offered us a ride to New York City! Who could say, ‘No’!? And I’m STILL of that groupie mentality! That’s not so cool to admit at my age. E.g., when the Queen and her guys came to Victoria for the ’94 Commonwealth Games, I was in the Park, during her walk-about in the crowds, elbowing and kicking my way up front, almost fainting with excitement. Why, I even caught her eye at one point! Hah! ‘Small things …’, you say! While still in Toronto, Edward and I’d lived in condos in the Jane / Eglinton area, then houses up in Thornhill and Richmond Hill before deciding to move here to start a B&B. After a Sheridan B&B course, we bought a central Victoria condo in ’92 to use as a ‘base of operations’ to live in and find an ideal B&B to buy. After much research, we bought a 4 room bungalow in a lovely, seaside neighbourhood, Fairfield, a half block from the ocean, and planned the big renovation. We worked on the plans for a year with our architects and City Hall, then moved out of the house for 10 months while it was torn apart, totally re-plumbed and rewired and a second storey added. And voila, here we are! Bored yet? Do give me a 'call' or email me via our websites ...
