Johannesburg and New Year

After Christmas, Lyn, Greg and I flew up to Johannesburg to spend some time with the family there. Of course we had not seen them for at least 8 months so it was good to catch up. Greg had taken a number of honey samples, which were tasted with interest.

Whilst we were there, we did see more rain in an hour than we saw in London in 8 months. Who was talking about the British rain? Maybe in Wales and Scotland, but this year certainly not in the South East of England! It was good to see the Gibbons family again and also hard to say goodbye: it will be another 8 months before we are back.

We were also fortunate to have dinner with Janet and Kevin Heydenrych and with James. Greg had already spent a night with his cousin earlier on .

Back in Cape Town, Lyn got back to her passion of photographing sunsets. Here is a nice one as seen from our balcony at Dolphin Beach (although maybe a bit dark):

Greg has now gone to join some friends in Langebaan, so Lyn and I spent New Year's eve by ourselves. We watched the fireworks in the Cape Town waterfront from our balcony, it is a bit far, but still quite nice to see. Not on a scale like we see on video clips from Sydney, Dubai or London, but still...
Sean celebrated New Year in London and reports that he enjoyed it (but no details are available..).

We wish the readers of our blog a very Happy and most of all Healthy New Year!
