catch up on the past 2 months!

 oh my word it has been too long guys! I'm gonna fill you in on what I've been up to since my last post...

so we've discovered the cutest pizza place in Underberg. was really excited to go tonight for half price pizza, but we put a hole in the diesel tank on our way to boot camp this morning. haha. oh well.

Joan's farewell has come and gone. there was much planning and mielie bread making to be done. the farewell was a lot of fun and it was great catching up with all of phillip's cousins.

We haven't done as much fishing as planned, cuz it has been so unbelievably busy! sani2c and exams happens at the same time. it's chaos. But when we do fish it's lovely. peaceful and beautiful.

 The dogs have got so big. Milo is going to be one on the 31st of May can you believe it? They chew absolutely everything and have wrecked and even eaten many a shoe, food bowl, box of firelighters and much more.

My sister Candice and my beautiful niece Rachel came to stay for a while, which was great. Rachel spent most of the time holding on to her bum and kept expressing fear of being bitten on the bum by Button. We're not sure where she got that idea from!

 The veggie garden is going so well. I can scarcely believe how far we've come and how the farm is becoming my home. being here has taught me how to appreciate relationships and the simple things in life. The things that we often overlook!

And here is the finished product. My next project is the chickens! so excited for that. I have always wanted my own chickens :) I've been trying to convince Phillip that having a pet pig would be the coolest. but unfortunately he is not pro-pig.

My cooking has also come a long way since the first days of farm living :) i now make quesidillas, cinnamon bread, pies, pastas, nasi goring, soups, curries and pastries. yay me!

 Sani2c also came and went can you believe it. All that planning that goes into it can make the mind boggle! Phillip, well done for everything you did I was so impressed. Here he is with Dean Storah (aka The Mayor) on bar duty.

the other mind boggling thing is the amount of food that goes into this event. wow! I have never seen so much food in on place. here is my pasta salad that I was commissioned to make for Sani. It's hard work but great fun.







So that's the short n short of it really :D Since then we've had a trip to Botswana and my 21st is still to come. I'll try not to be so slack with the updates!

lots of love
