December happenings







Here are a few pictures of our happenings at the end of Term 4. Eric is looking smart before he went off to the Sally Army volunteers dinner at the Taipa Resort last Sunday. Eric helps after school in the shop shining shoes mostly. He and Chantelle had an enjoyable meal.
Stuart is combining his love of making things with his love of Dr Who by making a large scale 2-D Tardis. He also has his sonic screwdriver in his hand. He bought this with his birthday money.
Patrick is picking the peach crop. We doubled last year's crop, taking a total of 2 ripe fruit from the tree.
The pig has been visiting us from the wilderness next door. It is getting tamer and we may end up turning it into bacon one day.
Talking of which, the pan contains sheep offal from Sally and 2 of her lambs that were slaughtered last Saturday. That was a 6 hour epic that would take a page to do justice ... another time as we are quite busy tonight. Suffice it to say that as I had never dealt to a ram lamb before, I was intrigued to see what their specialised offal tasted like. There were 2 lambs and there are 4 pieces in the pan. Chantelle and the boys were not keen. I wouldn't make a big effort to eat them again - they did not taste like chicken. Spongy and soft .... nuff said. See some of you soon. Rest of you l8r.
