In addition to enjoying this part of our brief reunion with Eldest Daughter on a day of perfect weather, spent mainly in and round our little pool, I had to neglect that side a bit so as to get involved with Presidential duties in regard to Durban and Coast Horticultural Society. The Society has entered into a joint venture with Durban’s famous Botanic Gardens to host a talk on Green Practice by the highly qualified Jabulani Memela. The opportunity only came together this week, and with a scant four days to go before the event, organisation has had to be carried out at some speed.
For those not lucky enough to be resident within reach of Durban, and/or unable to attend on that day, I will be trying to give as full a report as possible on the aspects discussed in due course.

Sorry I can’t make it, though I do have a grandson over there right now. The fifteen year old is on a school rugby tour based in Cape Town, although now I think about it, he’s probably a little far away too!

(reluctantly) Yes, I suppose you will both have to be excused. There is still time, of course – we are only a day away from the UK and a few hours from Cape Town. The cost is a bit of a nuisance, though.

By the way, the grandson, the best player to boot, broke his arm during the first game! Poor boy spent the remainder of the ten days sitting out every activity! Never seen a child so pleased to be back home, the longest hug I ‘ve ever had!

What an absolute shame! The tour should have been sheer excitement and pleasure.
We were a lot luckier with granddaughter J and her successful swim so soon after the big meningitis fright!

I read that one Les. I can only imagine what a scare that was for you all. So relieved she recovered well.
