The week after our Namibia holiday, we looked after the two H’s as Thelwyn went to Fauresmith for the National Endurance Ride. (Sadly her horse became lame and she was unable to complete this tough course. A real pity after she had worked so hard! But there you have it: sport is sport and accidents can always happen.)
At home we had fun with the two H granddaughters. 
Martelize loved playing with my bag of potatoes. They could transform from bird’s eggs to ice-creams. Jan’s grandmother’s silver bowl was just the right container for them!
Annemie 8 1/2 months and Martelize nearly 4 years.
One morning Annemie only ate about half of her cereal. Silly me left the bowl with the left overs on a side table in the sitting-room. This is the scene that greeted me a little while later:
Annemie had found the bowl and spoon-fed herself the rest! At 8 months a bit of a mess is to be expected, but neat little Annemie used the cloth on the side table as a serviette…
Jan went to fetch the two L’s to join in the fun. We were so busy, there wasn’t time for photos! To get all five of them ready for playschool was quite a challenge! (My friend Jessie and I have a small play group at Camp Reynard next door.)
The following day, we all went to Pretoria zoo. Janita is standing in front of Franco, with Surprise and Tannie Jessie next to him and Tabihle and Martelize at the back.

Janita, 2 years and 3 months. She walked all the way up to the lions and back and never complained! Quite a long and steep walk for such a little one! Only right at the end of our tour did we put her in the pram and Annemie onto my back!
Franco, 4 years 2 months was disappointed that the lions were in their cage under the road – we could hear, but not see them!
A special treat was a ride in the zoo train.

Voel soos nou die dag dat jy foto's van hulle as baba's gewys het. Hulle het so groot geword en is pragtig. 'n Groot blessing om ouma en oupa te wees verseker :-)
Jinne Miekie, ek kannie glo ek was so lanklaas op die blog nie. Kyk net jou pragtige kleinkinders wat nie meer babas is nie... Ai, en mag die nuwe lewensjaar net oorloop van vreugde en seen... jy weet hoeveel keer ek met my span op Kamp Reynhardt gekamp het? Sulke wonderlike herhinneringe.. baie liefde vir jou en joune
That little rider ready for a fox hunt?
Manners and tidiness seems to come in ones genes, looking at that behaviour of Annemie.
May you continue to be so fit as you have shown you are in Namibia.
