Another ‘blast from the past’! Nico Hoogendoorn. Living on the Lesotho border. Last visited in Bloemfontein 1980’s sometime. We spent a great time ‘solving’ the problems of the world and reminiscing about the good old Durban days and the South Africa we all grew up in.

Robert de Beer’s birthday – Robert and his brother Roy’s family attending Robert’s birthday. A very pleasant and interesting afternoon. Last saw Roy and Esme when Tante Nellie was still alive – at least 30 years ago.

Was a great pleasure catching up with family and friends over the Christmas period. Cousins not seen in 50+ years! What a special occasion. We drove past Sharpeville to Vereeniging. The last time I had been there was in 1962 during the infamous Sharpeville uprising. We were evacuated on that day.

Visited Oom Tjaart and Tannie Miena in Pretoria. Both in their 90’s now – but contented in their new residence.
