Saturday 29th Jan - Eventually met up with long standing friends, Jean and Ross, from Cape Town, ex-Cheshire, and now living there, on Thursday. Their flight was delayed, but Durban Airport is better than most for hanging around in. Once we had picked up car, we went to stay the first night with their step-niece Claire and fiancee Lee, at a wonderful farm Guest House(Dalmore Farm), where they currently live, and will be getting married in the fields there in a couple of months.
Pippa and Andrew fully deserve their 5 star rating on TripAdviser and we had a great stay, with a personally guided early morning safari with Lee, who is a qualified guide, at nearby little used but great Spioenkop Nature Reserve. Loads of giraffes, zebra and various antelopes. And a
favourite bird – the goliath heron – just enormous
For those into quizzes and well known little known facts – the answer to “where does the name “Kop” come from as per Liverpool FC?” – see here
Then on to Ardmore Farm and a lovely surprise upgrade to this 
Tough not to loll around on the veranda, by the pool or in the main house balconies, but today we went for a hot walk in the nearby Drakensburg mountains –
for those in the know it was up to the Sphinx in the Monks Cowl and Champagne Castle area.
As for tomorrow -the boys are hoping the afternoon thunderstorms come early – Murray in the Aussie Final!!! Maybe, just maybe, ??????
POSTCRIPT SUNDAY - Oh dear!!!!
