It has been a pleasure. Am signing out. Taking my vintage hat off. Am a disappointed old school fellow. Someone fly me to Cuba to bring my vim and vigour.First of all I was not to attend this year’s Concours D’Elegance held on 29th September at the Ngong Race Course but fate would have it other way as I was handed a free ticket. Even in the glare of the blue hue Afro Motive design I still deliberated on who to give the ticket but my fellow classics enthusiasts stuck indoors watching Lewis Hamilton battling it out with Bottas at the Russian GP. Good choice. I on the other hand would have been at my local church fundraising towards a kitchen construction but chose cars instead probably to witness if any changes had happened since last year that would convince me that glory was not gone. The devil won.

Ek is vanoggend vol dankbaarheid want die donker wolk het gelig. My blogwêreld het vir drie weke op sy kop gaan staan, en ek moes klou so al wat ek kon.

Maar…

Ek het hulp gehad. Julle ouens het my help vasbyt, my aangemoedig, selfs probeer regop help. Elke bemoedigende kommentaar, elke whatsapp en elke prentjie wat aangestuur is, het op ñ hopie kom lê. Die hopie het bly groei en van gisteraand af begin my lewens-tintel weer terugkom.

Ek lees deur ons Rebusfontein sage en skud soos ek lag terwyl ek elkeen van jul karakters in daardie biblioteek ‘sien’ optree. Hierdie lang pad saam het gemaak dat ons nou elk ñ eie persona het, so as ek lees dat die Doom nader geruk word, weet ek Perdebytjie gaan optree. Hester en Positief in ñ gumboot dans is logies, Toortsie met haar kopdoek en baie energie heel normaal. Kameel se…

Prepare for a nergdasm!lol

Even though Fozzie unsuccessfully tried to climb the beautiful glass pyramid, he was successful with a great photo opp. 

Fozzie wishes all of you a wonderful week. He also advises all of you to avoid climbing pyramids. Especially those on private property. 

I had a college roommate who talked to her plants. Her side of our dorm room was filled with overachieving explosions of green. My side had an ever-revolving range of plants in my two little pots, doomed visitors who would linger bravely for a week or two before wanly accepting their fate.

This wasn’t really a problem over the next four decades. With jobs, kids, and a husband who likes to mow large swaths of lawn, my black thumb couldn’t do too much damage. Then I blew it. I moved to the UK, where gardening is a sacred passion.*

*I’m totally not imagining this. Recent UK census and surveys show that almost 60% of people spent time gardening within the previous month, but only 12% attended religious services. 

Of course, the Days Out mainly consist of visits to the garden center, while the Historic Places visited are famous gardens…

In June 2018 I went back to Lithuania for my brothers graduation and I spent a few days with my parents in one the most beautiful places – Curonian Spit. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage, 98km long and shared between Lithuania (north) and Russia (south).

It’s a complete paradise that I recommend visiting to anyone going to Lithuania. You can get there by taking a very short ferry ride from Klaipėda. The area is famous for it’s original fishing villages like Nida or Juodkrantė, various folklore stories, giant sand dunes (tallest migrating dunes in Europe) and various other things you wouldn’t find anywhere else in Lithuania. I also loved beautiful and very colourful old houses, nice food and very relaxed atmosphere. Some of my favourite things were:

1. The Dead Dunes (also called the Grey Dunes)

These are the huge (up to 60m) tall dunes that moved so fast…

Your presence isn’t as harsh anymore

I can actually stand to be around you

We never come close

But close enough to where I can see the sun beginning to surround you

The smile on your face tells me that your okay

I smile back, in a reciprocating gesture

Resentment is gone

Friendship is being restored

We can talk now

Laugh a little

The distance between us remain the same, that void never filled

I’m not as scared as I thought

Less angry then I imagined

The sun begins to beam in my face, like an unwavering stare

My eyes being to open…I blink twice

I smile…I was awake in my other world

The one I imagine to be perfect peace

I rise to get my day started

Content with knowing that some things are meant to be left in that world

Content with knowing…it was all a dream 🌈
