Our nanny Lucy is learning to read and write English, at 45. It is tough as this is her 4th language (others being Tshwana, Zulu and Afrikaans). With 11 official languages this is quite a task. And the silly hat - she loves them - makes them herself and also sells them. As you can see little man C is also busy learning to read and write English ;-)

At the party. Although it looks as if she is looking right at me, I was behind a jungle gym. Playing pirates with the boys - she was fierce and ferocious, as a pirate girl should be.

They went to sleep on Monday night with their new wooden tractors made by a gentleman at my mom's retirement village, and the usual blanky bunnies.

She made this little trinket box for me at the pottery for a Mothersday gift. She could not wait until Sunday to give it. They make the cutest things there.

 The lemons in our driveway are ripe and ready to be enjoyed. They are very richly coloured this year, almost orangy. Not sure if it is due to the unseasonal huge amounts of rain.

    Do you have a friend who takes photo's that you can team up with as there is something called Team Up Thursdays on blogs, I'm joining with a woman I've never met in Germany ( Munich ) we going to be a team.
