Oops I keep forgetting to write. So I will think of things that have happened while I wait for Mike to finish off at work - I do not remember the last time we left the office before 6pm!
Since I last spoke:
- we moved back to Sea Point, so have been doing may miles walking up and down the sea front
- I got a new computer (as the laptop screen fell off my old one)
- I learnt how to chip at Golf - so no more long putts
- Bridget (my first friend to have a baby) found out she is having a little boy - due 3rd Aug
- it is even sooner before we head home, even though only for 4 days :-(
- Caught up with Uncle Pete, Aunty Mim, Warren & Sandy before Warren left back for the UK. (Ate out 4 days in a row, and found the best calamari ever in Hout Bay).
Mike is finally ready to go

Where have we been?
As we have been away from this blog for a while I guess it is only right that I fill you all in on why we have not written.
Holidays:
My Dad & Simone came over for 2.5 weeks, Mike and I flew up and met them in JHB before driving north to the Kruger National Park. We stayed in an amazing Guest House in Hazyview,
definitely the place to stay for a few days in the Kruger it was stunning & luxurious with a great friendly husband & wife running it.
Arriving in Johannesburg early Wednesday morning, we only had a 20min wait until dad and Simone arrived in from London. Picked up our hire car and set off for the 4 hour trip to Hazyview. Stopping half way for lunch a lovely trout fishing place with a restaurant and shop, probably the best place to stop for lunch on the road which was lucky for us as the car battery died and had to wait around for 2 hours for a replacement car. Arrived at the sanctury of the Blue Jay Lodge for the night before heading early to the Kruger park on Thursday morning. After a good day of game watching, Thursday night was spent in a rest camp, we had the opportunity to go on a
night drive, hoping to see leopard we were unlucky and did not spot anything other than a type of monkey and lots of Antelope eyes that sparkle like city lights. Friday was again a day of game driving towards the exit gate, and heading back to our Guest House. Saturday we visited the few waterfalls in the Blyde River Canyon area. Sunday we drove back to Johannesburg for an evening flight and dropped dad & Simone at the train station, as they were spending the next 24 hours on the luxury train down to cape town. It was great having them with us for 2 weeks in Cape Town, we played lots of putt putt and ate out lots, along with a few tourist things. We also went on a Cape Malay cooking course - which was amazing we made malay chicken curry, rotis & Samosas.
House:
We have found a new place to live in Sea Point, moving from a one bed to a small 2 bed. The complex is on the beach road, and we are looking forward to our evening walks along the main sea point promenade. We move on the 11th March, as the new apartment is furnished, we have sold all our furniture and are at present without furnishings or fridge for the next 11 days. So it feels as if we are camping.
Work:
We have had some great websites go live recently, and some very high profile ones so hoping these will bring in lots more work. You can view some of these here http://www.worldwidecreative.co.za/work although just noticed some are very old on there, but the top 3 are new new.
May:
We are in the UK for a couple of days before and after we go to Italy, looking forward to a week of doing nothing other than reading my book and walking down to the village to buy meat,bread & cheese for breakfast, lunch & dinner. (We are also in the Chianti region so i guess wine as well - maybe not for breakfast though).
