Fouriesburg Weekend

Fouriesburg weekend

As promised here is a update on our weekend, it’s wonderful there you can just sit around look at the majestic mountains and feel God’s present, every time we go there I just once again realise that by seeing these mountains there is no way you cannot believe in Him.

We left Friday afternoon, we wanted to leave earlier but my mom needs her passport renewed for next year and I decided my sister and I should also renew our passports, after standing in the queue for what seems hours, the person behind the desk informs us in this sour face that my sister and mine is still valid and how dare we come apply for a new one, so sorry we forgot we applied for new passports, silly us. Anyway when we got home and after a long search, we found the passports and saw that indeed ours is still valid.

Anyway back to the weekend, so we got on the road just after lunch and we only arrived at 6, and this is normally a 2 hour drive. The road works on the road was incredible, we stood in queue’s containing up to 50 cars, it was madness, and we thought we will miss the Friday rush. WRONG!!!!

It was still worth every hour in those queues, the valleys and mountains were not as green as previous years, but there were smudges of green everywhere.

I will let some of the photo’s do the talking.

We over indulged on cherries and had lots of peaches.

On Saturday we spend the day in Clarens, and just looked at art, and ate a lot.

Long Time no Blog

Long Time No Blog



Hey all, so it’s been a long time since I blogged and I do apologise...



Well this past couple of weeks has been very busy. At work everyone is getting their pc ready for the holidays since the school holidays starts in 1 week. That means that everyone is heading out to the ocean side to enjoy a well deserved summer holiday/Christmas holiday.



My parents are having their 25 year anniversary at the beginning of December and they have decided to go on holiday for that time. They will be stopping over in Beaufort West which is halfway from Bloemfontein to Cape Town. Then they will spend a couple of days in Cape Town. *I’m so jealous! I love Cape Town* They will then head out to Nature’s Valley and from there they are going to Hogsback. All these places are really lovely and I’m sure they will enjoy it a lot.



Mom bought a new camera yesterday so this means this time we might get some great pictures of their holiday.



This weekend we are going to Fouriesburg for my mom’s birthday on Sunday, can’t wait, will post some photos next week. Fouriesburg is really very lovely and the sites are awesome. Most people forget about this little jewel in the heart of the Eastern Freestate.



Next week will also mark the 7 year anniversary of my grandmothers passing, not looking forward to it since this will be the first year that my mom won’t be there to stop the tears flowing...



Well I’m wishing all my US friends a Happy Thanksgiving!
