Hi again :)
I owe so many of you a visit {or 5...}!!
I have only just returned home to 700 e mails
so bear with me if you can :) I'm packing my daughter
off for ANOTHER vacation - this one with her friends!
Then getting my other 3 school ready which involves purchasing
ALL their stationery for the year & covering DOZENS and
DOZENS of exercise books in the next 10 days!!
This is where we've been for the last while...
We did different things every day so had a healthy
holiday. Lots of relaxing and lots of activity too...
golfing, horse-riding, etc. All this less than 3 hours away :)
It was like we were in another world though - set in the
1960's (the decor was definitely a blast from the past!)
and no wifi is a bit out-dated now I think to be honest!!
Getting the kids to stand still long enough for a photo was a challenge...
Yup this is what a Durban Christmas looks like :)
The weather was pretty good (rained a bit for a
couple of days) but warm Summer rain & not too hard.
Give the kids a pool and they're happy! Add a trampoline
& they're happy for hours!! Throw in a field & they're
happy all day!!! Wide open space is non-existent at the
coast (where we live) so it's a luxury we don't take for
granted & one we were so desperately in need of.
We laughed! And fought of course too!! All of a sudden
we were all together, day in day out with no computers
and no cell phone signal! Very bonding as you can imagine!
We ate meals together for a change and cooked from scratch
EVERY night! I felt positively Amish :)
We investigated the entire area very thoroughly this time
& found all sorts of places we'd never visited before -
like this place - {can't wait to receive our rug!!}
and this place which served delicious open sandwiches and salads
for lunch. All in all we had a GREAT TIME and I feel like a new
person (just wish I looked like one too!) - more about that in
my 2012 New Year's Resolutions post coming soon!!
