March 2014: South Africa - In and around Benoni

 
 
 
 
 
 

In March 2014, Bruce went to South Africa for three weeks.

Apart from spending time with the family, the other highlights of the trip were Kylie's christening, Kathleen & Roger's wedding
and a four day trip to the Cape to visit Cilla and Jurie in Witsand.

 
My first flight on one of BA's new A380s!
 
There had been a few changes since I was last in Benoni and this was one of them.
Jackie's lovely new home, where I would be staying.
It is built in the back garden of Kelly & Christian's home.
 
 
One of the many highlights of my visit was meeting my great niece Tatum for only the second time.
 
 

 
 
 
Inside Jackie's house. She has done a great job!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A breakfast reunion with Linda, a friend from Primary school!

More changes! Mom has had another room added to her place and it is looking good!

 
 
 
 
 
 
A visit to Marc & Clare's home, where some of Edna's lovely artwork is on display
 
 
 
Cameron was very proud of his reward chart, and rightly so!
