Congratulations to all of you in the United States of
America, on your new president. We surely stand in awe to see how your democracy
works in the USA. We certainly could do
with our South African politicians taking note! We have had 12 years with the
same government and up north in Zimbabwe they have had 37 years of the same
president. Surely ya’ll can celebrate in
the way your system actually WORKS!!! Change
is always good, and somewhere between the two extremes is the balance that
gives you the wonderful country that you have! GOD BLESS AMERICA.
Ken and I will be travelling to Grand Rapids this year, and
we are so excited that we will both be able to attend the Grand Rapids SCI
Chapter event in Holland MI. It has been YEARS since we were able to attend
this event together. J
We do hope that we will get to see you again?
We will also be heading to Charleston for SEWE like usual, and we are
excited to catch up with everyone there too.
Please come and find us at our usual spot, inside the main large Sporting
Village Tent at Brittle Bank Park.
We had a wonderfully quiet Christmas, and were able to give most
of our staff leave, as we took no Christmas bookings this year. The lack of electricity and internet, it was
quite interesting. Our power supply is
always challenging this time of the year when we get lots of rain. Yes, we have
been blessed with amazing rains, and we are so grateful for the beautiful transformation
of our bushveld. All of our summer Nguni calves have come and they are just as
beautiful as always! We also have the
delight of baby blue wildebeest, red hartebeest, impala, blesbuck, and all of
the other plains game! We wait patiently
for the first signs of when the buffalo will calve, although we suspect it will
be closer to March before we see their young.
We had the incredible privilege of hiking in the northern Drakensburg
mountain tip here in the Tzaneen area with a friend for four days over new year.
What a blessing!
We had a very busy 2016, with lots of wonderful memories
being made with new and repeat guests. Thank you to each and every one of you
for your support. We certainly could never do what we do, without you!
Ken’s parents Dennis and Carol, are both very well, and
continue to keep themselves active and involved. They are such a blessing to
us, and like us, live for having the children home! Carol has been teaching us
how to play Bridge. My what fun we have had! My parents got the incredible news that they
are allowed to remain in Australia! What a long story that was, and what a
miracle. We are over the moon that they are able to finally leave the country,
and come out to visit us in April, so we are all looking forward to seeing them
again!
