1/2 cup coconut water
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 banana
1 hand full kale
green cardamom seeds(optional)
Put the ingredients in a blender and whizz to the consistency you like. I like to leave bits of kale to make the smoothie more "chewy."

The Royal Visit, 1939

Chief Joe Capilano's daughter
An article in Regarding Place about Vancouver in 1939 by Chuck Davis.
In May 1939 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth (whom we remember as the Queen Mother) visited Vancouver. The city pulled out all the stops, decorating buildings and lining the streets to catch a glimpse of royalty. War was declared four months later on Sept 1. In this image the photographer caught a glimpse of a woman whose mind seems preoccupied with matters beyond patriotism.
