| Porthcurno Bay, Cornwall, England |
We visited beautiful Cornwall in SW England for 4 sun-filled days over Easter 2009.
We stayed in a convenient 4 star B&B in Carbis Bay, just outside of St Ives, where we spent much time.
We gallivanted all over the area... saw loads of galleries, had a cream tea, lazed in the sun... completed travel pages coming soon!

We had a glorious holiday in sunny South Africa in January!
We went to the Drakensberg Mountain's Wits End & Injisuthi Resorts with our families,
then drove to Mpumalanga's Pilgrims Rest (via a national highway that just ended and a torrential storm!) with an overnight stay in the quaint and traditional Victorian Royal Hotel, and then onto the Kruger National Park's Oliphants & Lower Sabie Camps.
Thereafter we stayed at Graskop's artistic Graskop Hotel, and then, driving via Dullstroom,
we ended up in the welcome arms of my mum in Johannesburg :)
Lots of bush, wildlife, swimming and sunning.... twas heavenly!.
Loads of photos, videos and stories will be shared when I have a mo (on FB and Flickr already)!

Recent travels!We visited the tranquil and green Lake District area in July 2008 for a week. We stayed in a gorgeous self catering cottage in Bouth, a small village about 20 minutes from Windermere. When you look out the old cottage window all you see are rolling fields, sheep and some distant cows. Bliss :) We relaxed, read, braaied, went on walks, sailed, fished, ate good food, visited Beatrix potter's farm home, and visited Muncaster Castle and the spectacular owls at the Owl Sanctuary!
I will write some tips for this lovely area soon

| Nando's South Bank Dinner ~ 1 June 2007 |

Meeting friends :)So many people we have met here have become good friends. Our stories of meetings and the people we have met are on our Greater London and England pages. We had a lovely time with Kat, Berni, Carl and some pals in March 2007!
Kitkat (keida84) came to London after spending precious time with Berni and Carl in Upwell. Kat is a friend for life, and a second big sister to me. Berni and Carl are also wonderful souls, we are surrounded by people who have touched my husband and I in a huge way, who have made a big impact on our lives. For that we will always be grateful. We had a fantastic time, meeting up at the Royal Albert Hall (where Berni and Carl were going to see Madame Butterfly), and then wandered off to find a restaurant. This photo is from a meeting I arranged in June 2007... where we went to the Borough Market on London's south bank. We then went to the Clink Prison Museum, the Golden Hinde (Francis Drake's ship!), had a drink at The Anchor pub on the Thames, finishing off at Nandos for a delicious meal. ~ I finally got to meet Rex... Sacra and their wonderful family! His family came to England (and Paris!) in celebration of their 50th wedding anniversary... and what a fabulous time was had by all. Such warm and friendly folk from the States, they reminded me very much of the genuineness and closeness of my brother's American in-laws in North Carolina, so I felt right at home! Laughing and joking from the outset. |

Pause for thought...LIVING HOPE CENTRE & HIV AIDS
It was started by the church we used to attend in Fish Hoek, Cape Town, pastored by John Thomas.
They have done and continue to do a wonderful work for the community near them,
which has a huge HIV Aids problem.
