I've got some lip one way and another for being such a revolting slacker at updating JI, so here goes from our little summer/winter holiday tour - hope you are loving the former in Dublin.
 |
| It was such a delight to meet Caren's folks - such diamonds, like you are lovely C. |
 |
| Ange soaking up the end of the Pretoria winter sun... |
 |
| ...and then yakking to Sue into the fabulous highveld winter evening. |
 |
From P-town to Kenton - I cannot get enough of the Cox's fabulous house (decorated as it is
with their fabulous hospitality). Had an absolute blast, but, dammit, videos a-plenty vs photos :-/ |
 |
| Eastern Cape roadside distractions on the way to Knysna - laughing |
 |
From Knysna ... road-trip to Cape Town in the back of the Grandies car :-O, and all credit to
the birthday girl Wendy, who took an absolute beating in a fall less than a week earlier. |
 |
| Fabulous winter canola fields along the way. |
 |
| Sunrise in Kalk Bay the next morning - looking across the bay to the mountains that lead to Hangklip. |
 |
| Fat seals and fishermen on the Kalk Bay harbour wall. |
 |
Kalk Bay in 1880 - pretty cool if you consider that at exactly the same time Billy the Kid was pronking
around the wild west being bad (he died the year after in 1881; cause of death: gunshot wound) |
 |
| Roy and Ange stepping out in Kalkies - own the public space |
 |
| Ruth and Ethan arrived on the Friday night - loved this Italian place |
 |
The Grandies heading home - very cool, they've been married
for sixty years, a very small odds outcome and lovely |
 |
| Ange with her two cousins and Auntie Jill, who is laat-lammetjie closer to Tracy than her sister Wendy. |
 |
| Ange and Ev, awww they're such closies these two |
 |
| Cocktail hour at the Cuban place across the road... rum hangover with Hemmingway watching on, wtf? |
 |
Emma, Aiden, Daisy and Ev - post cocktail glow
|
 |
| At Aiden's divine digs in Woodstock, super people, fabulous views |
 |
| Ange with Ev in Stellenbosch - catching a late lunch in a gap between lectures. |
 |
| Wild skies flying into Joburg again - winter rain... huh? |
 |
| Back in HK, the cat purring its head off. |
