I know I would have loved a life lived there. I always thought I was going to go in the Peace Corp, fall in love with Africa, and fall in love with a man, and stay for the rest of my life. Maybe one of my children will go. Anyway, I get to enjoy Africa through you! And enjoying it, I am!!! I think Thatchwick Cottage needs a garden bed...idea...find a cute antique daybed at a yard sale for cheap, paint it what ever color you like, and cover with rosy quilts and toss pillows, set under the trees and you can even hang a mosquito net from a tree branch over the bed. Enjoy a quiet day of reading on your garden bed.Seawashedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00299816851144887705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1860978377787658235.post-79328303851727678262008-06-19T16:14:00.000+02:002008-06-19T16:14:00.000+02:00Eleanor, I so enjoyed seeing the pictures and lear...Eleanor, I so enjoyed seeing the pictures and learning about Bloemfontein. Your daughter and granddaughter's are beautiful. Your daughter's home is lovely, and I find it fascinating to see what that part of South Africa looks like. I would have surely loved to been at that workshop, admiring the roses and sipping tea.
