Meeting the Boks

We took the boys to meet some of the Springboks yesterday who are in town for their match on Saturday. Sadly Danny's ultimate hero, John Smit, and Josh's favourite of them all, Victor Matfield (being the lone Bulls' supporter in this family that he is!) weren't amongst them, but it was a great experience nonetheless and we are all very excited to go to the game vs Italy on Sat :)

Yes, we are still in cyberspace!

We have seriously neglected the blog over the past few months - Facebook has taken preference and for that we apologise to our regular readers! But we are alive and kicking with some recent photos to prove it. Nath has started a thriving vegetable garden in the back yard - see a specimen of our spinach above and other treats below. If you're in the area please pop in as we'd love to give you some greens to take home :)
At the beginning of June we spent a lovely week-end at Hogsback with the Pattles and Webers. A good time was had by all and loads of fresh air and exercise was enjoyed.
Below is the view from our self-catering cottage. It snowed the following week as luck would have it, so I'm sure we will have to return later on in the winter for the boys to experience some of the chilly white stuff.

Dad with Josh - not sure how much longer Josh is going to be able to sit on Dad's shoulders for!

Fun with the Autumn Leaves
Last but not least, what would a visit to Hogsback be if you didn't see a pixie ? :)
