Welcome back, Summer!

The gorgeous summer days are back and we have been enjoying the sunshine and the garden (especially Josh and I, who don't "work"!) This morning Dad and Josh had a dip in the pool - the water is still rather chilly, but Josh loves swimming no matter what! Here are some photos taken a short while ago...

Nathan is playing his first waterpolo game of the season this afternoon. I will have to go along sometime and take some photos for the blog!

Enjoy the week-end!

Gardening and golf

We have enjoyed a long week end of chilling in the sunshine as today was a public holiday - Heritage day. Summer is definitely here again with some hot temp's on the high veld.

Concession - yesterday was national braai day in SA and we got nando's. We will make up for that in the months to come... We did manage to fit in a braai with Jon, Sal, Bean and Pearl on sat evening - thanks guys.

Josh discovered the garden hose this afternoon and fancies himself as a landscaper. We will have to see what Lawrence thinks about his handywork when he comes back from Mozambique....

Managed to dust off my golf clubs and get a round in at the Royal Jhb and Kensignton course yesterday with some water polo mates ahead of the new season. Great course. We bumped into a 4 metre cobra near the drink on the 7th which was exciting. Shot exactly 100 which was ok given my 16 month sabbatical from the noble game.

Water polo starts next week end which will be interesting...

Good week end for the Lions and the Arsenal (3 - 0 over Reading and still climbing).

Over to Kimbo for the next few entries. Have a good week.

Back from our travels

Hello all and welcome to our new blog. Thanks to the Schonks for setting us up!

We had a fantastic time catching up with friends and family in the UK followed by a week on the beaches of Tunisia earlier this month. Tunisia was interesting and relaxing but perhaps not as scenic as Turkey or the Greek Isles. Many thanks to all our friends who looked after us in the UK with places to stay, cars to drive and all that stuff (sounds as if we were looked after by the salvation army!).

News from our side - Kimbo had her second scan yesterday - 16 weeks. All looking great. There was a one eyed trouser snake in there somewehere so it is definitely a boy...

We hope to be making regular postings on our blog with photos in the future so please keep in touch.

On a more serious note, defamatory allegations have been thrown in my direction by other bloggers. Without naming and shaming, the individual concerned makes money from purveying home baked rusks in Bloxham, Oxfordshire. These allegations are without substance and will provoke a vigorous reaction if repeated.

We look forward to the future as true bloggers...
