Tuis in ons nuwe huis

Wat 'n wonderlike verbetering om te woon in jou eie tuiste. In vergelyking met die huur huis is die huis 'n kasteel. Al het die kasteel ook vreeslik baie werk wat gedoen moet word, is dit heerlik om die ruimte te he. Baie moet nog herstel word, bokse wat nog uitgepak moet word en dingetjies wat gedoen moet word, maar wat 'n heerlike uitdaging. Dit raak soms maar eensaam veral as ek alleen tuis is, moet maar net my te doen lysie in orde kry.
Dink baie aan Dirk en Ivana wat nou ook besig is met hulle huis daar ver in Australie, ai mis hulle so baie die kuiers en geselsies veral. Sterkte met julle geverwery daar doer ver in Aussie.

Breakfast with Bellville care group

A busy weekend

We had a wonderful busy weekend. Getting up an preparing to go for a breakfast at Big Bay, Bloubergstrand at a restaurant on the beach with one of the churches Care Groups. The sun was shining nicely but the wind was very cold. What a nice breakfast,  on the table was fruit, yogurts, cereals, scramble eggs, bacon, bangers, mince, tomatoes, and so much more.

Meeting the group and getting to know them better is very nice: Tom and his wife, Lucille and her husband, Hilary and Mike and Sue. Such a nice bunch of people.

After the lovely breakfast we spend some more time on the beach at Big Bay watching the kite surfers enjoying the wind. Taking a long walk on the stony beach with Table Mountain looming on the horizon. Then we took a drive up Signal Hill. We took some wonderful photos. What a view from up there.

Moving to Cape Town

New to Cape Town

Moving to Cape Town have been quite an adjustment for all of us. Don't get me wrong it is a beautifully province. But needless to say the change from Pretoria coming here was a shock to the system. The journey was very long driving from Pretoria to Hannover .

The sleep over at Bon Clody B&B. (Lovely, friendly hosts, more food than what you are able to eat. Hannover is a quaint little town in need of lots of restoration but rich in history) Then completing the journey the next day. A very long, warm and exhausting.

We arrived in Bellville, Western Cape late in the afternoon on the 11th of December 2012.

 

We don't quite feel settled yet, the house we are living in is a bit to small, so we could not unpack all our boxes. Being a small house the one advantage is that is it so easy to keep clean. But it also feel cluttered, trying to fit tree rooms into one isn't an easy thing to do. So we decided that we will be looking out for a home that will suite our needs better.
