The countdown begins

10 Days to go before we leave! Yesterday we had a whole lot of our friends around - have neglected them horribly for the last 9 months while Matilda took up all our time. We were spoilt with all sorts of gifts to take along. Ferro Rocher chocolates, hand creams and soap (for the dusty Gobi Dessert, no doubt!), socks to keep us warm and if that does not work, Jagermeister for
inner warmth! Not only a magnet St Christopher for Matilda's dash, but also St Benedict, as general protector, which now hangs on my jacket's zipper.

Isn't that a lovely beaded replica of Matilda. It was commissioned by my daughter, Jeanine, in the Cape and givev to me as a Christmas present. The bonnet, doors and boot all open with seats, engine and spare all beautifully made and placed where they should be.

Next weekend we say goodbye to the children and grandchildren who live in Johannesburg. What a send off we are getting!!
