Charity & Home.......

On Saturday night, Dean and I attended a Charity Ball

at one of the beach front hotels. I was invited by my

company to attend. The ball was to raise funds for

the h o s p i c e c a n c e r unit in EL. Lauren stayed

at gran & grandpa R's house and we fetched her

at 23h00. I interviewed a new domestic on Sunday

and had to sort out all the admin related to that.

The weather was very windy and not pleasant

at all. Let's hope better weather is on the way.

Wind & Wattles on the weekend......

We travelled up to Stutterheim on Saturday morning.
Dean on his motorbike and we followed in the car.
We stayed at a friend’s B & B, called W.a.t.t.l.e C.h.o.p
just outside of town. It is very dry in-land and a fire

broke out on a nearby property on Saturday night,

but was successfully managed. We enjoyed rowing

on the little dam and Dean and Lauren made clay

figurines.

Lauren made friends with the neighbours horses

and spent plenty of time talking to them. She was

excited about sleeping on the top of a double bunk.

There were two aloof donkeys and chickens which

L was introduced to.

The weather was hot and it was terribly windy when

we left for home. When we arrived back in EL, it was

30 degrees with no wind!
