My impression of Villiers was blown away I always thought it was a BIG town ...you ride smack bang into
two big 'Squircles' and then you dun with Villiers! :eek:
We stopped in front of this Church and pic time for me all new ....and to top it all Carrots was
gone in seconds and I still had to search for him..... :biggrin: i mean in a small town .....lol

sand...... :biggrin:

ButchH, draadkar glo so bietjie Afrikaans is in orde, siende dat dit in die Vrystaat gehou was, reg so met jou IDR?? (Sorry Welsh!!) :mwink:

Rodger ek het ‘n missie gehad, was laas in Clarens gewees ’57 met ‘n voortrekkerkamp, penkop, hou koers en al daai dinge, het ook die ossewa op die koppie buite Bethlehem talle male gaan skoonmaak bossies uitgetrek en ge-whitewash, gebly in Brand Straat 16 hoek van Brand en Roux, helaas daar is nou nie meer ‘n huis nie, wou ook Kaallaagte gaan bekyk, baie daar by my oom gaan kuier van my ma se kant “Oberholzer” my ma was van Arlington, geboer in daardie geweste, lekker vergeet hulle het getrou op Lindley en nie Paul Roux nie, sorry Draadkar HSK, so bietjie Dementia, my pa het groot geword op Zastron en wou ook daar gaan inloer het, ten minste is die gat nog in die berg, dan nog so ‘n draai of twee gery, check maar die portrette.

Baie dankie vir al die reelings, Susan het dit geniet – die badkamers was netjies en daar was lekker warm water – ek’s op die save water program en gebruik ‘n waslap – onthou vir Albert Schweitzer!!

Loop mooi tot ons weer laer trek!!
