Home again

Having arrived home from our holiday at the beach earlier this week, we're back into life at home. 

Of course, it was family time over the weekend and the children came over from next door for the obequitous BBQ. Grant and Angus grilled huge steaks on the fire; Grant made maize meal porridge, called pap (pronounced "pup") on the kitchen stove,  and Rina and I made tomato and onion stew to go with it.  

Of course, Angus and the children enjoyed Granny's motorbike to the fullest...
The Hedges grandchildren are crazy about motorbikes. I wonder why...
In the above photos, the children and Angus wore helmets as he took them around the block





When Angus came around the back of our garages and rode up the driveway, you can see Joel leaning ecstatically to the left. (A good pillion even at his age!) Then you hear Rina asking if he's not going to knock his head against the wall and I reply: Uh-uh (meaning "no") 

I hope these videos upload easily. Then you get a good idea how happy the kids are riding around the garden with their daddy. 

Meanwhile Rina and I have started a new puzzle. 
It's called Raiding the Apple Crop with lots of barrels of apples tipped over onto the grass by three cows

Soooo, watch this space! 

Happy Monday to you all.

  1. Looks like a great weekend with family/friends. I can understand why your son and the grands LOVE motorcycles... It runs in the family, don't you think????? ha

    Looks like a neat puzzle. My family used to keep a jigsaw puzzle going every year when we'd take our family vacation to Arkansas (from Texas--when the kids were teens).. We set up a card table and anyone who wanted to could work on it throughout the week. We always managed to complete one each year.... SO many memories.

    Hugs,

  8. I'm impressed by that motorbike. Even more impressed that it belongs to you Jo. Our grandkids love doing jigsaw puzzles and we have to buy new ones regularly so that they don't become bored with the old ones.
