Yesterday evening we went with Aje, Chantal, Nola and Zoe to see Cherie dance in the Eisteddfod competition. She was beautiful, danced very well and received a well-deserved diploma. We then went on to have soup with Nola and Andre. Nola knows how to make soup! Yum!
We spent time talking again and imbibing all we could from them. Andre is going away on Sunday evening for a week. We will miss him.
Nola has kindly lent us her car until we sort out a leased one and so we had our first drive home! Duncan managed very well as soon as he got used to it being an automatic!
So we were able to drive ourselves into Bible School this morning. Two more excellent sessions, one with Marilese on Colossians (sp?) and then Aje on Ephesians left us with so much to think about! The body, knitted together in love illustrated by a row of knitting producing a scarf to keep us warm! Excellent stuff.
We left them all dancing in preparation for tomorrow's outreach into school with Job and we went to The Paddocks and had lunch and did some more shopping now we have a car. Duncan is going to the Band of Brothers meeting tonight and being a men's meeting there will obviously be food involved! I am quite looking forward to a night in.
When we got back the workmen had closed the road to Dolphin Beach! No diversion signs! So we had to find another route home! As we arrived we passed Caherine who was our host last time we were here. She had come to visit and we had almost missed her.
It was so lovely to see her again. She came in and joined us for coffee and cake and we had a lovely hour together catching up.
Walking out of the Paddocks shopping centre it gave us quite a start to see the Mountain as our backdrop. It is a beautiful, clear day and Table Mountain just looks like a picture. Can it possibly be real? Can we really be here? Everyone seems so excited that we are here and we have been so readily received and feel so loved.
Latest news on our apartment - Friday or Saturday is when we expect to be able to move in. Louie for one is looking forward to me cooking a meal for him! It will be so nice to be able to return the compliments and feed our friends!
Great news and especially great to know that the skype link works so well that I was even able to get a tour of your present flat. It does mean that we shan't be so cut off from you as we thought we should. Don't know who else is on skype among your friends, but I expect you will soon be finding out!!Take care driving - I have never driven an automatic but expect you soon get used to it. Love from us both Mum/Pam and Dad/Peter xx

ReplyDeleteNola's car has memories for me. Drove it to Citrusdal and Vredendal. Nice to drive and it made me want an automatic. Its an education to be in it when Nola drives. Enjoy the SA roads and getting your head around the four way stops.
