Wednesday, 30 December '09: Waiting for my American 'sister' on her first time visit

I am waiting for the arrival of my AFS 'sister' and her daughter travelling all the way from St Paul-Minneapolis on their first-ever visit to Africa. A last minute re-routeing due to bad weather means they will arrive much later than expected. So as I while away the time, let me post a few holiday pics to show that our Christmas break at Wyndford Holiday Farm in the Eastern Free State was a blast!

The pool gave relief from temperatures in the early 30s C.
The food was scrumptious.

Ryan and Cath left the stress of 2009 far behind.

I was unashamedly lazy. And a very good time was had by all.

  2. What a fantastic header! Do the hollyhocks grow wild? Or is that a bit of someone's garden?

    Looks like a wonderful way to celebrate Christmas! -- And a Happy New Year to you!

  4. Your 'hot' Christmas looked like fun. I was in New York City that week - and 10" of snow fell, it was beautiful! Hope you have a great time with your house guests - just know they will love Africa.

    Happy New Year Eleanor - hope it's a great one!

  6. Eleanor-- nothing wrong with being lazy. I love your posts and though I haven't been diligent about blogging for the past few months, I always look forward to visiting yours. Judy
