Still here


Still here and the decision has been made to not make the trip to the UK in January. There were many reasons, and after a lot of debate, logic told me this was the right call for now.

Now I am hoping that the kids can come here in April during their school Holidays.


I will now post off the Xmas presents , and while they'll be late, the little ones will get their love packages from SA sooner than they would have had they waited for us to go there mid January.



Missing the Australian travellers more than I thought.


Finally starting to feel the spirit of Xmas. Probably because today is most of our departments last day at work, so everyone is very festive around here.
Andreas has been forced to open one of his presents (as were both girls). I can't wait to see the look on their faces. Dreadful having these secrets and not being able to share. He has played nicely with his TOM TOM. Told me that the guy gets really annoyed when you don't listen to his directions (which Andreas never does)........hehehehe.
The girls only opened their Cd's. No big surprises there, but I bought Enrique as a to me love me present, because for some strange reason no one around me shares in my passion for this exquisite man. His voice still makes me breathless sometimes....shhh...don't tell Andreas. We take our kicks where we can get them....

I am lucky enough to have a huge wonderful, multi layered garden, with which I have made various 'project area's'.

I have had great fun and many hours of pleasure putting this wonderland together. Children are always facinated and many an adult has been enchanted by all the little goodies that are hidden and not so hidden all over the place.

In each project area there is a variation of features.
In some areas there are multiple steel goodies, in others painted ceramics, (only collaged my favourites below), and there are statues in lots of places.

I have a special fairy garden, with lots of big and small fairies and fairy houses hidden in trees and all over that particular section.

My newest and latest addition is the wishing well that has just been erected (after standing lopsided for over two years - battled to get hubby motivted enough to get it put up) Its up and its wonderful!
