Matthew's first day at creche!!!












Okay I am all ready and also a wink


Come on Dad we're late










At last at school.
Matthew our grandson has not been to
a creche and having lived at lodges all his life
so far, was not in contact with many friends of
his age. He so looked forward to this day and now
it has come. The kids are now in Windhoek and he
is now in his school. The bag is full of carrots for
the rabbits, and the teacher's report back was
that he is a pleasure to have around.

We visited our son in Upington this past weekend
and here we went over the mighty Orange River, in
the Northern Cape.



Here is Benjamin (8) our oldest grandson


and here is Liam our youngest grandson aged 2
This was taken after they had a bath on Saturday
evening. The photos are not great but I was only
allowed to take one of each, instructions by oldest
grandson who does not like to be photographed.
I am a bit sore today after being the catcher of balls
in eldest favorite game of cricket.
