Harold Moffat and Deon van Beneke - funny, sharp, great listeners and thoroughly enjoyable company.
Porks using all his 1000-word-a-day-man allowance, and more, in a few hours.
Neil, our neighbour, confidant and supporter.
Porks and Neil checking on the ripping.
Sunday afternoon playing rummy. Despite doing me a favour, he still won 2 out of 5 games. Can you feel the enthusiasm?
We checked on the mulcher. A massively strong machine.
Kingsford, the driver, Alwel another driver and Me!
These two little primary school children were hoeing the plot behind our house at about six o'clock in the evening. These little ones work really hard very happily. We contemplated which is the better life for children, ours with technology and constantly growing obesity or theirs with physical health and few facilities? Makes one ponder. 
(A great subject for debate for your class in Portugal, Colleen.)
Deon gave us wonderful news. He is coming up as leader of the team in November. He is thinking of even bringing his wife, Roz, up to have a look with a view to staying. They have two little girls who might also come intermittently. I would love to help with home schooling if they need me. Remember Porks was up to 7 out of 10 now that Neil is around? When Deon gave us the news, I asked Porks what he is out of 10 now? Quick as a flash he said "18"!
Holding and crossing everything that is able to be held and crossed that this is not too good to be true! So the SA contingency are very happy chappies.
