Our OWN kiwi home!!!!!

So, the farm was fun and great and all, but it wasn't ours!! , Chance, luck, destiny, Sonja's dilligence, whatever!!! Somehow we came accross this lovely house and decided to make it our home!! We are now not just residents in NZ, we are also home owners! Yipee!

This is the view from our porch. I call it "Our Village". Whitby is a suburbs with a few schools, some churches, one shopping centre, two lakes and lots of hills.

More of the "village" view with the lower lake. No, the people are not "Village People ", and for those of you who know what I'm talking about; KEEP YOUR AGE A SECRET!!!

The view of the house, obscured by lots of trees from the lower lake.





Obscured by the trees in the distance to the left top of the picture... that's us!! (No, not the bird, the house, that's us!!)!


It was a must for the "Rumpus" room - that's what these guys call a "Play" room.





Esme in our kitchen....




The kids in the Lounge enjoying full HD cartoons!!!




Not that they seem to be too bothered by whether "goofy" and his friends are crystal clear quality or not! :-)





Minka seemed more taken with posing with her Jannie Verjaar Water...





And Miah, well, being Miah!






Preparing to dine with the family... Rooi wyn 'n moet!!!!

Our fake fire in the play room - jy plug die outjie in en dan maak hy warm lug!!!!

So, if you can spot the yellow dot, that's us, according to Google Earth! If you cannot see the yellow dot, well, again - KEEP YOUR AGE A SECRET!! - of bel jou naaste rekenaar winkel en vra hulle vir 'n beter graphics card!! :-)
