Some of the others


Ethan - vris and all grown up - so cool seeing him

Daisy - by Ethan - lovely photo with a smart background in the form of Paul Klee

Simon Oz and Finn - also taken by Ethan - thankfully - I was so busy chatting

Jordan, as it turns out reaching for the stars with fantastic matric results a couple of weeks away

Simon, easily my craziest portrait of the holiday - getting intimate with the Kob we caught and munched.

Roy - as groovy as his Madiba cap.
Ruth looking so cool in her Far Side shades - and in such a good space despite a kak hard 2017.  You go sister!

Big smile from Dylan.

Courtney trying out a pair of beer goggles straws - though in this instance on Aiden's coke.  Aiden looking
concerned about volume?

All of us in the Weskaap light

 
You, beautiful you - so divine seeing you.

Me with my groovy restored belt-bike (so groovy in fact that I subsequently fell off it and did a rib or two. 
Amazing how the passage of time does nothing to soften a bike fall).

Aiden - being bad - with his annual big Geordie message :-)

Ev, with his supercool new hat from the Sedgefield farmers' market.

Ange with her supercool hat - which a week later was to blow off and sink in the Bushman's river.
Who makes a sinking hat?

Hogsback flora

Hogsback fynbos, fine, fragrant detail.
 
King Protea - beautiful glowing velveteen pineapple sized beauty.

A field of grasses and flowers bordered by rows of rosemary.

Hogsback portraits

We had a day in the clouds, fourteen degrees in the middle of summer - it was fantastic and mystical.  The guy selling crystals (nooit, fully healing powers bru) told us that the only month in which it's never snowed in the Hogsback is February.

Daisy and Aiden

Ev laughing - probably at winding me up by pulling faces.

Roy and Ruth out in a wasteland of chopped exotics

Hogsback house - lovely to be back after 17 years

Roy and Ruth organised a cottage in the Hogsback - basic and fabulous - starry starry night
