Me looking brave before taking to the air (and the wing) of the plane. Wow, it was cold !! But the whole experience was totally exhilarating.

Jan's Blog
Computers and the internet are amazing things. One of my concerns with putting together this site was that it could remain current, yet with all my travelling I've often much to say, but little time to say it. Years ago when reading the news it would take me days on end to reply to the kind letters people sent. Now, with the magic of the modern age, I can keep you up to date with what I'm doing and other events in my life.
SPRING IN ENGLAND
Date: 29th April 2009
SPRING IN ENGLAND I will not, and absolutely refuse to, call it the United Kingdom because it isn't any more. Everybody wants to devolute and, anyway, I'm English not British and we are such a mish-mash of races and are no longer allowed to celebrate our Nationhood. Why can the French be so... Read more...
PIETER-DIRK UYS - SKY DIVING AT ATLANTIS
Date: 11th April 2009
PIETER-DIRK UYS Took the boys to see Uys's show at the Baxter. Elections and Erections is a very irreverent look at SA politics and politicians with a visit from Tante Evita. How he gets away with his satire, heaven alone knows but he is incredibly talented and very very funny. Much of the show... Read more...
HELEN ZILLE and Kelvin Lunch
Date: 5th April 2009
Kelvin Club organizes regular lunches with very interesting speakers. Attended one last month at which the Leader of Cope should have addressed us but sent his 2nd Deputy President instead. She'd only been in politics five minutes and gave quite a good speech but was totally floored by the Q & A at the end... Read more...
OSTRICH PALACE - OUDTSHOORN - WILDERNESS - DE HOOP
Date: 2nd April 2009
Sorry not to have written for a fortnight but I've been away and also rushed off my feet. My son and two friends arrived in Capetown on March 21st and it's been all stations go ever since. I'd planned a short trip to give them a taste of the Western Cape and we packed a week's trip into four days. My... Read more...
KNIGHTS OF THE ROAD
Date: 2nd April 2009
For some reason which I cannot fathom this little bit of Information has come up out of order. This should be read after the tour to Oudtshoorn. We decided to go into the De Hoop Reserve and were subjected to yet more dirt roads but we did see Zebra, Bontebok and I think Eland - they were so far away... Read more...
SKY DIVING AT ATLANTIS
Date: 2nd April 2009
SKY DIVING The main purpose of Jonathan and Seth's visit was to do a Sky Diving course at Atlantis just up the West Coast. To save them money I chauffered them on Saturday and Sunday (Mum's School run all over again!). On Saturday they had tuition from a real character called Murdoch. If half the... Read more...
