Lots has happened since my last blog:
We have had some of the worst weather ever, with rain wind and freezing conditions all over South Africa, but for every negative there is a positive, and the Spring flowers are making a wonderful appearance all along the West Coast.
Today being a public holiday, we went down to Velddrift to the Weskus Craft Expo, which is held every 2 years, and is run by people living in the Berg River Municipaliy. Wow what lovely handwork on display, they sure did put a lot of time and effort into it.
Monique has also been looking at the idea of opening a craft shop in the area, and we have been looking at what shops are available. Hopefully by this time tomorrow, she will know if she has managed to rent a shop she liked. If so, it will be all systems go as she wants to open by 1 September, so holding thumbs that everything works out for her.
Last Saturday we went into Vredenberg and decided to come home via a gravel road - some 24kms - well all I can say is "shake rattle and roll" thankfully Monique was the driver and I was the passenger. Never again, unless it is in a 4x4.
Took the dogs for a walk up the mountain earlier as today the weather is lovely The view was wonderful and the walk was so peaceful. From up the mountain you can see all over the bay and the tankers waiting to go into Saldanha Bay harbour such a lovely site.
