Hi!
Well, we sampled the taste of Africa on Sunday with good friends coming over to visit. We had a potjie (our first in our potjie that my mom brought all the way from SA - in her hand luggage!) and delicious mielie bread that Odette made - have to get that recipe! And of course, sun, it visited us the whole day and what a lovely treat! Very rare that we’ve planned something like this without the rain interfering, it was lovely to sit out in the sun and spend time with friends.
The children have really enjoyed the good weather and being outdoors, but are sometimes at a loss and still want to watch iPlayer on the computer - but I tend to “kick them out” and get them playing in the garden!
I have uploaded a few photos from the weekend, I hope you enjoy them. I will keep you up to date with more news soon, but for now, not much to tell - except that we’re eagerly anticipating summer!!
Thanks for reading,
x Anita

Hi everyone,
I know it’s been a while since the website has been updated. We’re changing things a little (with the addition of the latest iLife) and are moving back to website done on the Mac (we think) so watch this space. We will still have all the photos on Picasa if you’d like to look back at our photos.
Talking about photos, I have updated our online album. It’s just a few random photos from the last two months - a visit with the Kents in London, Elowyn’s new kitchen (thanks to Dougie’s woodwork and my painting…), on the Royal Mile in Windsor and a few shots from home. I hope you enjoy!
Thanks for checking in.

Well, hello everyone.
Today marks the 5th year anniversary of our arrival in the United Kingdom. Yup, 5 years ago today we stepped off the plane in Belfast International Airport and began a most interesting journey as a couple. We started as two and have become four! In the five years, which is a relatively short amount of time, so much has happened. We have stayed in 5 houses, changed jobs twice and had two kids! Looking back it’s amazing to see the things that have happened in our lives and how they have shaped us to this point. For now, our focus is family and raising our children. We have the most beautiful children one could ever ask for and they bring such joy to our lives. We are very grateful to God for His hand in our lives and our family.
I have gone from the office dungeon to a job where I am working with kids and music, drumming every day… what could be better than that? Anita is spending time with the kids at home. Things have changed for us in the last 6 months. Even though we lost our third baby, we are still hopeful of things to come in the form of another brother or sister (one day) for Elowyn and Ethan.
Who knows what the next five years hold?
