He wasn’t thirsty or hungry, and I haven’t been able to take any good pictures because he hasn’t stopped moving and playing until now – he is now lying at my […]

Until she went exploring and jumped in bed with one of the kids at 4 am. But no one was complaining. She’s already gone to school drop-off, a walk at the park down the street and a swim in the pool.

Travel Route – Johannesburg to London Heathrow, UK Shipment date – 3 March 2020 Good day Toinette Rocky and Mischka arrived safely though they seem to be a bit shaken up. I guess it must be a bit nerve wrecking for them since they don’t know what is going on. They are beginning to settle, but still seem a bit unsure of where they are. This should change as time passes. Rocky does not like our stairs (we didn’t have any in SA) and so has been sleeping by himself at night. I’m hoping he will take a chance on the […]
