Well I am off to school today! Got my lunchbag packed and my school bag with my Eurythmy shoes and pencil case and I feel like I am 7 years old!! And the best news of all is that I had a brilliant night's sleep. So - the worst of the jetlag is over and I am ready and rearing to go....
The days since my arrival have been a blur of images of the magnificent beauty of the Mother City, which I am unashamedly in love with. A trip around the Peninsula with old friend David van Ryswyk, reminded my why Vasco da Gama, in the 1600's, declared this southernmost tip of Africa "The Fairest Cape in all the World".
I am settling into my life here in Constantia, graciously hosted by Ros Ovenstone - another old and dear friend - and have created an infrastructure to support my mission. This is the view from my bedroom window - scroll across and down to get the full picture:
Go get'm Myndi
ReplyDeleteWow, I can see what draws you back to SA, but don't forget to come back to NZ too! Did I tell you that since my early teen years I have always wanted to visit SA, and thought I would teach there one day? Though it seems a different path has been chosen for me, and I certainly love being a Mum.
