Buddy

We made friends with the local ginger tom, and he kept us company all day long. Gorgeous cat! Made leaving Vermaaklikheid today even harder.
~ A year ago today I was reading Cold Mountain ~

Jetty Life

Sunshine + books + friends + swimming = holiday
~ A year ago today I was admiring my new pillowcases ~

Alfresco

Breakfast at the cottage: outside, in the garden, under the vines.
~ A year ago today I was loving my mountain ~

Quiet

Time out... listening to the wind in the reeds and watching clouds scud across the sky.
~ A year ago today I was watching House ~

River Sports

On holiday in Vermaaklikheid! Claudia and Richard... messing about in boats.
~ A year ago today my murraya was flowering ~

River Swims

The Duikenhoks River at Vermaalkikheid is wonderful for swimming.

Paddahoek

Paddhoek, the cottage I'm staying in at Vermaaklikheid.

On the Way

I had to drive on a dirt road through the dry and dusty 'vlakte' to get to Vermaaklikheid.
