The end or the beginning?The end of a hectic six weeks. Both for me and for South Africa. And it is now or never – to begin blogging again.Spain lifted the FIFA World Cup high. A very good time was had by all as the world enjoyed a wonderful sports event that we locals have anticipated for a decade. I have acquired a taste for the sound of vuvuzela’s, flown our SA flag from my car aerial and learned quite a bit about soccer.
On a personal note, I have travelled to Provence and tasted the sun-ripened tomatoes at a Saturday market in Arles.
Of course, attending conference in Aix-en-Provence does not mean you can't wine and dine.I arrived home to make another three trip to Durban - not watch the games but to teach.
Then the girls arrived...
For a week of the extended holidays with Gran ‘all by themselves’. 
I also turned a year older and had fun celebrating it with the family.It’ s been a remarkable winter so far.
Hopefully now it’s time to get back into a routine. And record my meanderings in Provence in the next posts.
