 April 2013 Work Party!

“You know you are truly alive when you’re living among lions.”
― Karen Blixen, Out of Africa 



This weekend we had a large workparty which is good as we had some hectic tasks ahead of us!! 

Friday night we all sat around the fire wrapped up in our jumpers and jackets and braced ourselves for a chilly night - winter is not far away now!!

Saturday morning we all woke up bright and early with steaming hot coffee in our hands a chill in the air and a big birthday wish to Margaret we all headed off to the boma. We split up into groups Nando's team attacked the weeds around the fence with style, Pat and Mona had a group of us helping them whilst they created master pieces with brick work wahooo it was awesome although Jax did introduce me to utilising cement as a homemade facial!! lol!! Graham and Wally headed off to work on the fence itself, Kori and Freddy made it their mission to break through a concrete man hole - dedication i tell you and Ed, Brian and crew worked on the fence gate. All in all it kept us all busy busy busy and time flew by!

That night we all sat around the potjie pot filled fire and went through our highs and lows. Scrummy cake was supplied by Margaret and Diane and as per normal lots giggles and laughs were had! 

Ahhh another fantastic Makanyane weekend thank you so much everyone.
See you next month!! Don't forget to pack those extra woollies!!
