Fairy Girl

What does marriage mean to you? To me it is a relationship between a man and a woman.  A contract binding them together in writing. An unconditional love that no person can separate. It is when a man leaves his family to take care of his own family (wife and children), and a woman leaves [...]

Sitting on the stoep at Sappers Rest, Andre and I had an interesting chat about raising children in a home when one parent is English and the other Afrikaans.

Anyway we arrived on Friday, the check-in went fairly quickly.  The Vacation Club is really nice, we had a six sleeper self catering [...]
