Road Trip to Gauteng

Last week I sent an email to my family in Dubai and the UK to keep them up to date with our movements. Things have happened really quickly and our preparation for this trip kept us very busy .....

Hi there precious family,

Want to just make sure you're all 'in the loop' about our current plans. Things are happening fast and furious and I'm not always sure who I've told what .... So here goes:

Tomorrow morning we are all driving up to Pretoria. We will be overnighting in Bloemfontein and staying at the 'holiday homes' at the Correctional services (prisons!) On Thursday we'll arrive in Pretoria and are staying with our good friends, Kevin and Caroline Coughlan - for the first week or so. Suzi (from Dubai!) and Anthea (from Valhalla) have also offered for us to stay with them so we will be moving around.

The reason we're travelling to Gauteng is because we've found a stall at the Hillfox Market (Weltevreden Park) on the west rand. We'll be trading there this Sunday and Monday, and then every Saturday and Sunday from then on, in hopes of selling of our 3-in-1 jackets and powerbanks.

We have about one-third of our stock with us, and plan to return to get more stock in a couple of weeks or so. We aren't sure how long we'll be in Pretoria, but only really have till the end of August to sell the jackets before summer weather kicks in.

We're in for great times of catching up with family and friends, as well as visiting lots of 'attractions' with the kids. We also plan to meet with key retailers about our products while we are there.

We are still on BBM/Whatsapp and only a call away ....
Lots of love and hugs and kisses from
