We have had a wonderful weekend celebrating Oupa and
enjoying time with family and precious friends. I remember when Ouma started
organising the party about 5 months ago, she wanted an indoor venue because the
weather here in George is so unpredictable - even at this time of the year!
Well, she couldn’t have been more spot on! We’ve had gale force winds, rain
storms and winter-chills …. And it supposed to be spring!
It was absolutely amazing to see Mau, Zani, Rizi and
Paultjie! The children played so nicely together for just over 3 days and had
so much fun together! The never got bored or ran out of things to do together
and it was heartwarming to watch them together. Rizi and Paultjie are Afrikaans
but fortunately their English is good and they were all able to communicate
well and understand each other too! Zani and I had breakfast together at my
favourite local coffee shop on Thursday morning and it was good to catch up and
get to know each other a bit better. I had no idea how similar we are – we’ve
never really had the chance to get to know each other.
After a yummy breakfast of bacon and eggs prepared by many
hands on Friday morning, we rushed to the beach before the sun disappeared
again! The sun stayed for a while and we enjoyed a lovely sunny morning down at
Herolds Bay wading in the tidal pool, collecting shells and spotting tiny fish
in the rock pools. We even caught a bit of tan too! It was great! Oupa and Ouma
treated us all to an ice-cream before heading home – that was the cherry on
top! What a treat!

Zani and I spent Friday afternoon cutting and preparing
veggies for Oupa’s potjie-party and I made the dough for the 3 huge breads I
was to bake. We didn’t stop until late in the evening and when bed time came I
was so grateful, but things were taking shape.
Oupa and Ouma spent the afternoon setting up the lapa and organising the
table décor.
