Happy New Year

Our final day of 2006 was a long one - up at 5.30am to set up & man the market stall for Beth Uriel, after which we managed a few hours in the stunning Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens at the foot of Table Mountain. Dinner was shared with the BU family although we didn't share their special treat of 2 KFC buckets of chicken - very selfless of us!! Then everyone slobbed in front of "Snakes on a Plane" DVD - don't know what was more amusing - the predictable shenanigans of a comic horror or the reactions of one of the more macho of the guys who twitched on the edge of his seat in a state of terror the entire time. Either way, we all laughed a lot.

Finally, we headed into the city - the young men to go out on the town, the older contingent to sit with our legs dangling over the dockside of the Victoria & Alfred (yes, Alfred!) Waterfront to watch a spectacular fireworks display, welcoming in 2007.

Hope it's a great year - Happy New Year!
