Midwinter 2000

Boys hiking in Magaliesberg / Colleen in Canada

Colleen is in Canada for a month (20 June - 21 July) - and the first picture we have is this one, with her youngest neice and nephew - Rebecca and Declan, Deirdre and Mark's twins:

Meanwhile Mish and Shingi and Temba are still at work and school in Johannesburg, and here are some pictures from a great day in the Magaliesberg (about 90 minutes drive west of home) where we spent the day on the kind invitation of friends Paul and Isabel:

Guess which movie we saw last weekend?

Yes, Mission Impossible 2 - our two Tom Cruises were free-climbing that cliff before you could say "Ethan Hunt"!

Pretty good for the first half hour in the mountains. Then we made our way further up the kloof to the pools....

Here is Shingi making his first dive into the ice-cold, clear water:

And Temba from the other side of the pool:

... and I promise you Mish also went in, even though it was truly frrrrreeezing!

Here's an "after action, satisfaction " shot to give you a bit more idea of the situation:
