Building a pool - September/October 2008

After many years of coping with the African summers, we have eventually decided to have a pool put in. The saying is not no pain no gain for nothing - it has been quite a ride, but (hopefully) by tomorrow (or if I really wish hard) tonight we will be able to swim!!!

12- 14 September - Dikhololo weekend

Ed, myself and the kids went to Dikhololo for the weekend together with Burnard, Vanessa adn their kids. What fun! It was a fantastic, hot weekend and was great to all spend some time together. The kids had a blast and just loved being in each other's company for 48 solid hours (with not too many fights).

Visiting mom - September 2008

The kids and I went to visit my mom the weekend - it was great spending some quality time with them and finally seeing my mom's (stunning) new house. The village is great and there are loads of walking paths and playground areas for the kids.
