The front of the garden with the bouginvillas

Bouginvillas on the neighbours side is flowering so

Charka watching me taking a photo of him.

This is on one of my blocks, its my mother's wedding
picture and pink roses was her favorite flower.
So this is a tribute to her.
Cannot believe its been a year since she passed away.

A Giraffe at the Ubizane Wild Life Reserve

A team attempt at making some sarmies

A throw I am busy with and all this was done during the
long trip too and from Hluhluwe Natal

This is the body of the Spitting Cobra, a very dangerous snake, and its head
was held firmly by me inside the bin. It came into
daughters house while I was sitting and watching TV with
Matthew and daughter and hubby was shopping.
Luckily for me they were nearby when I phoned
to tell them that there is a snake inside the kitchen
under the kitchen cupboard.
Its amazing at the small space it slipped into.
Son in law had to dismantle the whole cupboard to
get to the snake.

Thaankful!

Found a very nice fish añd chips shop nearby us.  Its my Birthday month and I started a new small cross stitch patte...
