Our three female goats became mothers this month and Claude and I have been present during the births. The first time that I saw an animal being born. Wonderful.






We have papayas in abundance!





The cottages are progressing fine.  This is a view of the walkway between the cottages.......
under construction.
 






The five kids are cute beyond words....



 and I wonder how long before cute 

                                                              will turn into naughty!

 



                                 Riaan, my son , 

 
 
                is on the last stretch of his       circumnavigation of Africa!   

 He left Johannesburg on March 9   and rode with his motorbike up the West coast of Africa , across Europe and coming down the East coast of Africa.  

What an accomplishment.  What and adventure.  Read about  his travels here - Vansafrica.com
Love the photos, the blog and especially the music in the videos!

It was also my Mom's birthday on the 8th.  Being continents apart, we had to do with a virtual cake ...and a phone call.



!Until next time !

  1. Good to find your blog - what a lovely piece of property you have there! Are you building a resort or cottages to rent out? I also set off from South Africa on a sailboat - long ago in 1979. We sailed for about 20 years before finally settling in the States. Now I live in Australia in a similar climate to you, about an hour north of Cairns.

  2. Get rid of the boy goats as soon as you can. They will get mean when they grow up. It's easier to sell them now than it will later. They will hurt someone even you.
