February 2013 Workparty
When nature has work to be done, she creates a genius to do it.
We arrived early Friday afternoon and headed off to the boma to set up. We were greeted by a sight none of us expected a friendly fun loving messy maker elephant had decided he wanted to visit the boma before us! Unfortunately nobody had offered him the key......never mind through the gate he went! Yep no guesses as to what work we were doing this weekend hehehehe!!
Off the Manayane we went to set up camp and get settled! Saturday morning we all woke bright and early and headed back off to the boma to start the big clean up operation! The gate/fence had to be straightened, restrung and fixed, broken trees had to be cleared away, weed eating and backbreaking digging were all on the agenda! It was a long hard day but after lots of sweat and cheers we cleared it up fixed the gate got the fence working! Whoop whoop!!! Later that afternoon we all made our way back to the camp for showers and a well-earned rest! That night fires were made, potjies were filled as we all sat back for a lovely pudding filled evening of highs and lows!
As always a wonderful weekend
