New Year

Hello Family and friends,

Happy New year and best wishes to all.

I have finally finished my studies! It is such a great feeling, all I have left is some field work volenteering at a clinic for 4 or 5 months.

It's nice to have a holiday and spend time with Derek and my kids. I have just had my birthday which was a semi-surprise planned by Sio and Derek. All of us, and my mother went to Cape Point for a picnic and a walk on the beach. It was lots of fun although we opted for eating in the car as we didn't want to share our food with the Baboons or full of sand. We ate and walked at Buffelsbaai and we had our coffee at Olifantsbos.

Here are some photo's we took,

My mother, Margareet.
