People and Places
So the people started coming in from all over. Sonja's parents are here for the holidays (FROM SA). Henk's family finally arrived after some delays (FROM USA). The US postal services stuffed around with their Visa's so Mercia only landed with the kids a week later than expected. Henk is now a "whole" man again!! And we also have some family who's been here already for some time, Tiny and Esme. Niel and Ilse have been here since end of July 08. So here are some random pics of faces you may know...

Dennis ready for the big walk up the hills... (FYI - Gum boots are called "wellies" over here). Dennis is still Dennis here, we think...
The neighbour asked to let his heffers graze in our paddocks. We loved their presence, and they helped keep the long grass in order for a while till they were sold. Yep, you may have eaten them by now!
Tiny just could not resist the after lunch snooze in the shade
Pre-lunch, Tiny still with us in some form, Esme and kids (Mia and Minka) posing for the occasion... 
If there's a braai, Niel's the man. Chef deluxe on the porch with the Gas Braai...
Re-united at last. LTR Sean, Henk, Mercia and Natasha
Me, taking Minka and Mia for a walk in the hills to go get pine cones. Wellies are essential as the recent rains left certain swampy bits were you slug through ankle deep muddy waters... (really sinister, the whole axe and kids thing in the forest) 
Wat was dit nou weer van die aap en die bos?? Nou ja, there it is, some wierd tyre statue on Paekakariki Beach. We were not sure if it was put there for a reason, but Dennis decided that the work of art held some secret at the top. 
Ina feeding the dukcs at the Whitby Lake. Well, pond, but keep in mind that NZ is small, so relatively, yeah, this may just pass as a larger body of water...
No lies. We actually walked all the way up the mountain and found the highest spot overlooking the road down to Paekakariki in the background.
The new addition to the Steyn-Swart family
Ilse also gets her turn to play with kittie, but all he wants to do is sleep
Like I say, he was just REALLY tired...
