Weekend Away in Wilderness

I will post pictures tomorrow when we empty our cameras.
Left early on Friday morning, popping past Uncle Pete's flat and stopping for fuel and an oil & water check. Made it to the pie shop, then one more stop before we reached Wilderness.
Had to meet Uncle Pete at his offices as we did not know where the new house was.
Their new house is amazing, I will try and attach some photos later. Met up with Aunty Mim & Sandy and we all went to the village to the Friday Night market for a few drinks and then to a restaurant.
Up early on Saturday to visit Aunty Mim's market in Sedgefield for breakfast, then on to a little safari place with Sandy. We stopped for a picnic lunch in Plettenberg Bay on the beach and then back to the house for a big BBQ (cooked on the inside kitchen braai) before the rugby.
Sunday Jan & Jim & Uncle Pete went for a long walk along the beach & boardwalk. Mike and I went for a shorter walk into the village. Back home for a great breakfast (unfortunately Uncle Pete has lost his skottle, but it still tasted very good). Afterwards Uncle Pete drove us visit Warren's plots of land. One in the bush & one by the sea, very impressed so Mike & I are putting our heads & figures together to buy a plot Uncle Pete has for sale around the corner from Warren's. A small plot right by the steps down to the beach. Back to the house for some cheese & biscuits to keep us going on our trip home.

Arrived home just in time to see the last 14 laps of the motor racing, and all had a fish finger & salad sandwich. Jim is feeling a little under the weather with a start of a cold, so going to take it easy tomorrow and see how he is feeling.

Hi to Jan and Jim and you two from Rose in sunny, hot Florida 30C. I have been here all week trying out my new Callaway clubs, which honestly don't seem to be better than than my old ones. It is quiet here as the season doesn't start until November and the really busy time is in February and March.

Congratulations to the the SA rugby team.(sorry Jim) Have a great time. Rose
