CURRENT MISSION

Since we are not leaving home to see the world, we're inviting the world to visit us!

ABOUT ME

We are 40-somethings with a 17-year-old (!) son and lots of pets (hope you don't mind). (By now we are almost 50 -- aargh. The son lives in a commune but is still often at home.) We love a traditional braai (barbecue), discovering new places, the movies, books. Gielie also loves the Grand Prix, his Mini, his motorbike (I hate it) and a good kuier. We have an amazing stoep (porch/patio) for those kuiers (socialising). I love my three yorkies, my bulldog, art-house movies, good puddings and the Karoo. Ben loves life, but hates school... (luckily school is now something of the past.)
