Vancouver in the Rain By Regan D’Andrade (Grades 7-9)

Regan D’Andrade was born to an English Jewish mother and an Indian Catholic father, in East Africa. She moved a lot with her family, from Kenya to England and back again, from town to town and house to house, and from one continent to another. The constant moving and the quest for identity have been intrinsic to her life path and search for meaning. She emigrated with her family to Canada from Kenya in 1975 and lived in Calgary for six years before moving to Vancouver.
Regan D’Andrade teaches writing courses and workshops developed to help the creator connect to the natural world with minimal criticism.

Her excerpt caught my eye on one of my walks and gave me a chuckle and that is why I am sharing it with you. It is truly an observation which we, all who live in raincouver can relate to whether we have learned to enjoy the rain or are in the process of learning to do so.
