Update from the eastern cape

We have arrived.

Quick update...

After spending some time in Stutt we now have our own roof over our heads and cars to drive. Our furniture had a delayed departure from Dubai so we continue to "camp" in our house thanks to kind donations/loans from friends/family and the salvation army of chairs, pots, pans, bar fridges, tv's, linen etc etc. Another three weeks to go before our goods arrive - counting the days.

Life in EL is good and pretty much as we left it 8 years ago. The traffic rush (quarter of an) hour is still 15 minutes and the people are down to earth and super eastern cape friendly. The boys have adapted extremely well to life here and have already made a new crew of mates. Renovations have started on our new house - extending the thatched gazebo and converting the third garage into a study/5th bedroom ready for the christmas festivities. We will be doing some painting here and there to put our own stamp on the place in the next week or two.

Looking forward to the Selborne Founders Day and Old Boys Spit braai on Friday and the Sharks victory on Saturday...
