Daily Helen

We made friends with the local ginger tom, and he kept us company all day long. Gorgeous cat! Made leaving Vermaaklikheid today even harder....

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

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

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

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

The Duikenhoks River at Vermaalkikheid is wonderful for swimming.

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

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