OK, here they are – finally!
Shirley and I spent an evening going through our 2000 (yes, that’s 2000!) pictures of our recent trip to South Africa whist back at my parents place for a relaxing Christmas.
You can find the results here – as you can see, we had an amazing time!
Tip: Select the ‘slideshow’ link on the left hand side of the gallery, change the picture delay to 3 seconds, and the picture size to 640×640. Enjoy the show.
Christmas Creativity
One of the things I’m trying to make a little more time for in my hectic everyday living is creativity. And Christmas is a great excuse!
So, I just thought I’d share with you a couple of my recent years Christmas cards. Hope you like them.

I obviously need to go travelling again…
Blessings
Speaking of being blessed, I just received a gift of some vouchers through the post that will make Christmas just that little bit easier on the old bank account.
Whoever you are, THANK YOU!
Dead posh
Don’t you just love it when you get unexpectedly blessed? Right in the middle of Shirls and my trip to SA was our ‘year-going-out-aversary’. We decided it would be a nice touch to go for a slap up celebratory meal for our one night in Jo’burg, and we hunted around a website listing the menus of the cities nicer restaurants.
Time for some R&R…
So here’s the first update on Shirley and my travels in SA! Just thought I’d give you readers in the Northern Hemisphere something to be jealous about 😉
I’ve been given an amazing week of whirlwind tours around the Cape area, and I’ll try and give you a short run down. We’ve done so much its difficult to know where to start! Our first major outing was to Cape Point, on a lovely sunny, but rather blowy day. Cape point is the southernmost tip of the cape bay. Not quite the southernmost point of South Africa, but close enough for me to be satisfied I’d travelled as far south as I could. Much hilarity was had watching the cormorants trying to land on their cliff-side nests in a gale!
Celebrating art
Popped into the Tate Modern on the way home this evening to check out Carsten Holler’s Test Site, the latest of the Unilever Series of exhibits in the old Turbine Hall of the building.
Each time I go to one of these ehibits I really enjoy it. Highlights for me so far include The Weather Project and Embankment. The great thing about the Unilever series is how unashamedly fun so many of them are. I remember walking amongst the box moulds of ‘Embankment’ and having a great feeling of being a child amongst mountains of boxes that I would kick all over the place until I was worn out and could kick no more!
On this visit I didn’t have time to take advantage of the latest wonderful peice of art, but I’ll be back soon for my rapid trip to the 1st floor from the 5th 🙂
