As I knew the boys would be off fishing for the weekend I contacted my BFF Nan and made arrangements for me to go and visit her. She lives up in Polokwane (used to be called Potgietesrus - I think my spelling is right). It is about 21/2 hours drive (North I think - into the interior anyway).
I had a great time with Nan, Ben(Hubby), Russell (Son) and daughter Nicola aka "Princess Lolo!" I also had the pleasure of meeting Nan's Mum and Dad, what a lovely family.
Ben has just accepted a job working on a Private Game Reserve about an hour away from Nan's home town, and I had the honour of being the first visitor to Nan's new house (to be - once it's finished) on the reserve... We took a drive out there on Sunday and WOW! WOW! WOW!, absolutely fantastic, I am so jealous, I turned every shade of green.
The photos are just a few of the neighbours we passed on the road up to Nan's front gate !!!! How amazing is that? The reserve is one of the few private reserves that is home to all the Big Five!!! So yes guys they have lions and leopards as neighbours too... Most houses here in SA have signs on that say Beware of The Dog, Nan's gate has 'Beware of the Lions' on it... (guess she won't have to worry about the crime in her area!!!)
I just can't stop raving about the place, the beauty and the tranquility, Paul and Kelsey were so jealous when I got back... K said I should not have gone without him...
Bet you can guess where we're going next holidays, sorry Nan you're going to have a house full for Easter...Well you didn't think you were going to get to keep all that beauty to yourself did you?
