There and back again...

Last week, Danie and I went up to East London. He had some work to do there and I managed to get a day's leave on Friday, so we did the great trek up the gorgeous east coast. East London is not the kind of town I'd really like to go to on a holiday, but there are plenty of gorgeous little towns along the way. We did almost 3 days of solid driving, but it gave us lots of time to talk uninterrupted and, while the road was long, I really enjoyed every moment of our time together.

We left on Thursday afternoon at about 3:00 and stayed over in Port Elizabeth for the night. We only got to PE after midnight and, despite all the red bulls along the way, were both exhausted. We were up early on Friday morning (6:00!) and drove on to East London. By about 3:30ish we were finished in East London and back on the road towards home. I had hoped to get down to a mall while Danie was working (me time), but ended up sitting in the office chatting to a really funny girl till lunch time. We drove all the way back to Knysna after Danie finished working and arrived at about 10 that night. We stayed in a gorgeous little B&B on the main road for the night and then headed home the next morning. We took the drive home quite slowly, stopping to enjoy the views along the way.

Some scenic shots in Knysna harbour...

Victoria Bay...

The Canola fields were in full bloom too, so pretty...

The only other news I have, aside from life going really well, is that Jake's lost his first two teeth. He's been dying for them to fall out and has been wriggling them since last year. He's really chuffed and each time he's lost one he adds a year to his age. At the moment, he thinks he looks like an 8-year old.

I took this a few days before number 1 fell out (bottom left). 'Scuze the supper stuck in his teeth and smeared across his face...

And this one after the second one fell out. He's working on the top two now...

We spent a bit of time at Danie's house on Sunday afternoon too. Jake really loves it there and it's super pretty. Like I said before, you feel like you're on holiday when you arrive...

Jake did a bit of fishing with a net...

And actually caught a few teeny fish. This one was the first and biggest...

Laila was by his side most of the time, I think she likes having someone her own size around...

I ask you though; have you ever seen a dog with such a long tongue? It just doesn't go in. Ever. It's physically impossible...

YAY - a photo of us. It's the first reasonable one I have...

Sunset...

Jake would've sat there all night, but had school the next morning, so we had to go early...

Also, I have a couple of new blog readers, including my BOYFRIEND. Hi Honey!! And hello to everyone else. Feel free to let me know if I'm boring you too much. Shew... I hope I don't get into too much trouble for posting all these photos ;o)

Lastly, they say people always choose pets that look like them - whacha think??

Love,
