This morning was up early to get out to Hopefield! Some late night shopping the night before at Woolworths (which is actually a high end department store here!) meant we had breakfast and lunch sorted for the kids.
It was a two hour drive to get to Hopefield by 9am for the memorial meeting at Henry and Liezl’s house, which Eden delivered. Lennox had a great time playing with all the toys in the backyard.
After the meeting, Michael and Leilandi gave us a tour of their work in building a Bible Camp for Bible Club. Henry showed us his hunting rifles, his biltong, his clubs, and wine collection as we tried some of his rooibos tea.
It was then off to the Canola Fields for an amazing basket hamper lunch. Champagne, cheese boards, meats, and a wide charcuterie boards. It was a beautiful afternoon made interesting by the midgies.
We finally got back to our apartment after a long drive home to find a power outage was happening, but fortunately there was lamps and hot water still for the kids baths.Read more
