Keeping in touch.

Hi again. We are off on another short break again on Monday. My sister Joy from the UK, is here for a months break herself & we have been busy doing girly things together.
She treated me to a Pedicure this week,which was very relaxing.Then yesterday we both had our hair done.We've enjoyed some retail therapy & a couple of nice lunches & coffee's.

The weather isn't too good, as we are having oodles of rain again, but we are not letting it get us down. On Monday we are going to a place called "Ngwenga " which is only 9 klm's from "The Kruger National Park" I am hoping that Joy get's to enjoy the real African experience & can appreciate our wonderful wildlife. Trouble is with all this rain the animals might be hiding in the long grass!!

We were with Heidi for her Birthday on the weekend & had a lovely afternoon .

Hope to be able to post some good wildlife pictures on our return.Bye for now Gilly.

Great Time with Friends.

Hello again from Benoni.We have been busy of late having a great time with our friends June & Roy. June is a friend of 50 years ( Don't like to admit that I am really that old!!) Her newish husband Roy is a terrific guy who although only married to June for about 3 years honoured her desire to visit her old school friend.

The picture above is of the famous elephant sculpture at Sun City with John,June & Roy.

We had a wonderful time there, enjoying great food ,wonderful experiences, & for good measure a Game Drive as well. We had two nights & fun filled days. On our way home we visited Heidi & Steve & our grandson Luc & our friends enjoyed their pool. Luc just wanted to get our friends truly in the drink!!

Luc had a great time & enjoyed another Granddad to tease!

After our trip to Sun City & Heidi's, we left for one of the picturesque areas of South Africa, Mphumalanga. We had three nights at one of our favourite places "Crystal Springs". This is a beautiful area of South Africa, with waterfalls, forests, & huge vistas overlooking fantastic scenery. We were not so lucky with the weather & many of the vistas were in cloud when we tried to see the views, but we didn't let it stop us enjoying ourselves. We had to drop down from our high position to enjoy what was on offer & spent the evenings with log fires & good red wine!

There was also an adults only, health centre to enjoy, which included a sauna, gym, steam room & Jacuzzi. This is a great way to unwind at the end of the day.

Following all of our travels ,we chilled out at the end of our time together by chatting, & chatting

& reminisced about all the years that had gone by.

That is the best thing about having friends,we have all grown older at the same time & none of us feels any different than when we were so much younger!!

At the end of a wonderful day. God Bless everyone.
