Advent calendar

Made an advent calendar for my nieces. A box with envelopes for each day, containing 2 photographs of our time together during 2018. It was a wonderful year with them, they are amazing and inspiring.

The wedding cake card

Made a congratulatory card for a colleague's wedding. Congratulations, Mr and Mrs Marsh.

50 and 60 continued

So I created a theme piece to celebrate my brothers' birthdays. It was printed on the cake and I make hand-held 'waaiers' that we had at the lunch table. Although we didn't get to use them, it was so cold, and they lit a fire instead.

50 and 60

My one brother turned 60, and the other will be 50 in a number of days. Happy birthday to you two, love you both madly.

We celebrated with a family gathering in the southern Cape. What an awesome week.

We rented a house right on the beach. Good weather and bad weather, all in the same day. Long walks on the beach, country roads and mountain passes.

We came across a beached whale on morning, which was sad to see. He was already dead when he washed out.

Dolphin sightings almost ever day.

A very special time.

Holy cow, the food is so good

To celebrate Chris' birthday he wanted to go somewhere new, somewhere he hadn't been before. I suggested the Holy Cow. He wasn't too sure about it, uhm he said, but that's where we went. We started with a cappuccino, because they don't have a liquor licence. Good coffee. Chris had Chicken Korma while Peter and I ordered the Sri Lankan chicken curry, although we had no clue what it meant. What it meant was incredibly delicious, lick-the-bowl scrumptious, we were so happy with our choice. A nice hour and a bit then back to the office.
In an ideal world we would have spend the afternoon there. Waited a few hours and ordered dessert with more coffee. Sigh!

I am sure I took almost the same photographs as before but no matter, I can't help myself, the place is lovely.

Later that same evening

I love all these wine glasses on the table, it suggests some sort of celebration, but you're not sure what. A lovely still life before it gets populated with people, plates, bottles and noise.
