We slept in until 10am and enjoyed a late breakfast of oats. Garth went into town with Everall to fix the water pipe for the shower whilst I had a lovely chat in the kitchen with Bron and Aunty Marrion. When the boys got back I enjoyed sitting in the sun in the garden. It's amazing how cold it is inside the house and how pleasant it is out in the sun! The 2 sheep dogs kept bringing a pine cone to my feet which I kicked and they chased! I read some of bron's cou...

I think I slept rather late and Garth got up before me. When I eventually go up, Bronwyn had made us a slap up huge feast of an English Breakfast which was a real treat! (although she told us not to expect that every morning!) I met Aunty Marian (Everall's Sister) who spent a long time tell me about herself - it was lovely to get to know her thought. She is the first relative I have met on the Taljaard side of the family. Everall insisted on running a...

We landed early morning in Johannesburg where we met Uncle Peter and his wife Aunty Pauline and family for lunch! It was great meeting them, and despite the obvious differences between Ivor ...

I may have been subconsciously stressed about our trip ending as I had a headache so we had a few barneys about money as we were quite over budget for Hong Kong. We decided to eat at McDs as it was cheap and went to the cinema again to see After Earth with Will Smith which was pretty shocking but just what we needed! We decided to get a ...

I slept much better and we had a lazy start before heading to an international church on HK island called the vine centre. It was relatively east to find and had a nice coffee shop downstairs where I had a yummy (but pricey) vanilla frapachino. Upstairs the service was very good. A local lady lead whilst another local guy spoke on the dangers of digital as part of a faith online series. He warned about isolation, exposure and desensitisation. We ate in a loca...
