A visit from my ou boet Wayne

My highlight of the year...Wayne flew in from South Africa on the 5th July. Shame..there was a delay of 2 hours in Jhb which caused him to miss his connecting flight to Edinburgh, then had to buy another ticket to Edinburgh for a later flight. He eventually arrived in Edinburgh at 4pm. A longggggggg time to not had sleep! Since then we have not sat still for a day! We left for the Scottish Mission Pathfinder camp in typical Scottish weather just outside Dunfermline. We pitched tents in the rain and got all muddy. Not quite the welcome Wayne was expecting I think....lol. Jimmy and Marcel had the privilege of baptizing 7 teens in a make shift pool as you will see from the photos below:

Its great having a fellow South African, an great friend...Mariette Kruger from George.

We then left on Sunday for a week holiday at Doniford Holiday Haven, in the county of Somerset, South England.

Some of our sight seeing excursions:
Quaint little historic town of Dunster

Dunster Cathedral
Low tide at Doniford

waterslide at Doniford

Minehead Station - real feel of what it was like in the old days...

seaside, with lovely each to play on..not Eastern Cape though!

Family photo..have we changed?

The Hermans, Bothas and Erasmus (all South African)

Cleve Abbey - entrance

The sun was very bright!!!

Quaint town of Cheddar, the only place where they made real Cheddar Cheese the old fashioned way. Not sure if I want to eat Cheese any more!
