Some background

Sunday 28 April
This morning we caught up with one of Jill’s old school friends Moira and her husband Andre, who she hadn’t seen for over 20 years. We met at a local cafe cum nursery, cum farmers market just around the corner from our accommodation and had a very nice brunch outside under the trees in the beautiful 24C cloudless day. The memories just flowed, as news of school mates long forgotten were discussed. Time stood still and it was as if they had just seen each other last week.
We went over to see Granny in the afternoon for the second last time. I think she has improved mentally quite a bit with our daily visits. What a shame no-one is around to visit her regularly. I just hope that my children and grandchildren will regularly come and visit us “down in Rosebud in our caravan” !!!
Shaun mentioned we have not discussed our accommodation, so here goes. It is in a place called Fourways which I used to visit on weekends when it was way out in the “bundu” (bush) 45 years ago. The premises are on a very busy crossroad, with police cars passing by on a regular basis, but with a 3 meter brick wall surrounding, a lot of the noise is cut out. There are a number of units here, but we have a large self contained flat, situated just near the swimming pool. The place is run by some very nice people and we have enjoyed our stay here. We will see if we can include some photos of the surrounds.

This is the wall that surrounds us. Keeps the goodies in and the baddies out
