from a wonderful week and a bit long holiday. We drove down to Port Elizabeth (Via Bethulie in die Free state for a sleepover) to visit H's parents.
We spent a fantastic time with the grandparents and the kids adored all the time they had with them. The weather of course was nothing to talk about - it was countrywide one of the most miserable weeks this year. But we made the most of it and had a lot of fun.
We also took our new doggy brother R for his first trip with us and we think what must be his first visit to the sea. Boy did he have fun. And it went very well for a doggy on his first long distance rip.
I will write more later this week, but for now I am never going to catch up reading all your blog posts and I do hope all is well in your world.
Leaving you with some shots of beauty we encountered during this time.

So which photo is your favorite and how are you doing?
I can only imagine. ONCE I went to PE during winter (after I'd moved away.... which is a good 23 years ago) for my mother's bday (Friday), and I FROZE. No electric blankets or anything. Turns out we're better equipped in Jhb than over there!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, glad you had a nice time of family and connection DESPITE the cold, and glad you had safe trips down and back.
I love the one of the heart in C/ L's hand :)
