November

So, building work has started here!! We have cut off one corner of our property where the garage and 'buite kamer' was, and the builders have started building our flat! Its really exciting, I cant wait to see what it will look like when its all done. (wayyyy better, thats for sure!) They are working really fast, so it already looks alot different. Our property has three road fronts, so this will work perfectly to rent out, they will have their own driveway and complete privacy. 

 

 

 behind that wall where the building continues on, will become our store room. (my veggie garden is behind that wall if you remember the photos?!

play golf with me Pappa! We went to a driving range last week after work, Joshua thought it was the best thing ever! Now he keeps talking about golf. (at least its giving me a break from rugby and cricket!)

 

Movember #1

Kirstens 1'st birthday party! I baked and decorated 5 dozen cupcakes (yep, it was a big 'do' at Buffelsdrift with a spit braai and the works, about 60 of us!)

The icing was pure white chocolate ganache...m mm mmmmm

the theme was Vintage, so there was lots of doilies and ribbons and bunting etc, really cute! I made 6 large tissue-paper pom-poms to hang from the trees, and knocked up these pink meringues with glitter. 

 

phew, that was a big job!

Movember #2

Virginia brought this little boy with her to work on Tuesday (I think its her sisters boy) his English name is Lian. They played so nicely together, and it was really funny to listen to! Lian only speaks Sotho and Joshua only speaks Afrikaans with a little bit of English mixed in; but they seemed to understand each other perfectly!!
