With fall upon us, I thought you might like to read an article on the top 10 things to do in White Rock on a rainy day, written by British Columbia Magazine editor Anita Willis.

My favourite is #10 - Pudgy Fudgy at Notti Biscotti Bakery, but maybe you should read it for yourself and pick your own favourite - there might not be enough biscotti for me to share!
