A blog written at present from South Africa and updated daily about my life as an expat wife past and present and erstwhile experiences on various mines on the African continent
Yesterday afternoon we took the dogs and grandchildren for a walk on the golf course. The dam, which was a mere puddle ten days ago, is filled to overflowing after the good rains this week.
Apart from having a great time watching dozens of tadpoles in the dam , the children did a few somersaults on the greens as well.
The dogs and children revel in the wide open spaces our beautiful country has to offer
Hi Jo, Isn't family just wonderful??? I love to see kids playing!!! So many times, these days, in our country, kids are only playing their computer games or talking on their cellphones. Yuk!!!!
Hi Betsy;) our little ones are always outdoors. Doing home schooling and having the use of my whole garden, my dil often has the lessons outdoors. They take two breaks in the morning and of course, it's outdoors on their little plastic scooters or jumping on the trampoline. They are glowingly heathly children.
I'm South African, and live in a part of my beautiful country with wide open spaces and vistas that
go on forever.
My earliest recollection is of living in the Eastern Highlands of Zimbabwe (then known as Southern Rhodesia) With my family I returned to South Africa in the mid-sixties. Later I met and married the man of my dreams. Since 1990 my husband and I have lived and worked as expats on the diamond mines of Namibia and later, the gold mines in Mali and Guinea, West Africa. Currently my husband is working in the Sudan.
I'm a born-again believer committed to living a Purpose-Driven Life, serving God through my music ministry and obedience to His holy Word.
I love gardening and spend every available hour in my primarily indigenous and waterwise paradise. At the same time, I'm not averse to doing (weather permitting!) "indoorsy stuff" like journaling, scrapbooking, piano playing, writing, cooking/ baking and reading!
So join me on a memorable meander through my garden, while I share God's many blessings with you.
