Congratulations and I voted yesterday!

I have voted already and will do so again.

I posted these just the other day as well. At my old place we had some in the garden and since we moved, which is 6 years already, I have been threatening to plant some. Just hasn’t gotten around to it yet.

Bradley is so clever

***Proud Mom Alert***

Lance and I got a letter the other day from the school, informing us that there was an awards ceremony and we needed to attend. Only 2 kids in his class got the note… so we were really looking forward to it!

Well, the awards for Grades 0 and 1 were held today in the school hall… and Bradley got his class’ term merit award for “Outstanding Achievement in all areas”. Only one child per class got given this award, and the other award for his grade was a Book Lover’s award

Getting term merit

Happy Bradley

And PS… he’s actually reading the post over my shoulder as I type

And Bradley is telling me that I need to tell you that he can wear the badge when he’s in Grade 1 next year.

I think I can

Posted in Uncategorized Tags: award, Connor, photography, tree

The nominations for the 2009 SA Blog Awards are open!! Please please click on the link below to nominate my blog… I really really want to win it again this year!! I know… I’m shameless

I see you have to nominate 3 blogs in order to get the nominations processed, so I thought I’d help you guys out a bit
Here are some of my favourites that I’ve nominated this year:
Best overseas SA blogger: Marcelle
Best photographic blog… other than me…. Christine Meintjes
Best New Blog (which I can technically enter too as this blog was only started in 2008)… Laura
Best Group Blog… Moral Fibre
Best Personal Blog… Exmi

And I cannot post without a photo can I?
On the subject of trees (I won a tree last year at the award ceremony which I brought back to JHB on the plane), Connor tried his very very best to climb this tree on Sunday… not that he got very far at all.
I think I can

Sunset from Signal Hill

Posted in Uncategorized Tags: award, Cape Town, sea, sky, view

Firstly, thanks so much for all the votes!! I went to the SA Blog Awards last night, and won!! How cool is that!! As soon as I receive the badge I’ll load it onto my blog.
I’m just not sure how I’m going to get the tree back to Jo’burg on the plane!
I took my colleagues to Signal Hill yesterday evening to show them the views. They’d never been there before. The view takes my breath away at the best of times, but yesterday’s sunset was spectacular!
