Now Chaos … Continue reading Returning to high school rugby

Thankful for the rain
What an absolute pleasure the rain was today. From the sound of it not much fell in the catchment areas which means we need a lot more but I'm sure at least the lawns around town sighed a sigh of relief.
Underneath the bridge
A couple of years ago I got to walk underneath the Van Stadens Bridge for the first time while following one of the trails in the Van Stadens Wildflower Reserve in search of a Geocache. A couple of days ago I saw a friend post a similar picture and I decided to go and dig … Continue reading Underneath the bridge
