After returning from our trip to Egypt and arriving home at 4am on February 28th, we got some sleep, overworked the washing machine, repacked and left home again on March 2nd at 5 :25am for the early morning flight to Amsterdam and Cape Town. There was a little snow in Norwich but heavier falls in Amsterdam meant that only one runway was open, so we were delayed for an hour leaving Norwich. We still managed (just) to catch the Cape Town flight and so did our luggage. We arrived at CT at 11pm local time and were in Somerset West and our house by soon after midnight.
We just enjoyed the warm sun for a day or two and went out locally to a Dixieland jazz evening, bring your own picnic and wine. On Sunday however, after church and lunch we went into Cape Town with Richard and Molly to a sunset concert in the wonderful Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens beneath Table mountain. The concert started at 5 30 pm and was packed, it was by The Glenn Miller Band of South Africa.
We finally got the back garden brickpaved, then on Wednesday evening we were invited to a Church Family Supper at SW Baptist church, which is where we attend when we are here, as they are celebrating their first 25 years of the then new church being built. We are also going to their celebratory sports day followed by a spit braii tomorrow, (a lamb roasted on a spit) one of the Pastors said " you know I think we Baptists eat our way into Heaven!" They make us very welcome.
We still have our daily walks on the beach at Strand, yesterday there was a very high tide and there were dozens of big jelly fish washed up and left at the point where the tide turned.
Well that is about us up to date, please leave a comment so we can keep in touch
Love to all
from
Di and Paul
