A Day of Pleasure




The morning was still enveloped in mist as we approached our favourite picnic spot on the glorious banks of Jubilee Creek, situated in the heart of the Knysna forest.  After one of the hottest Christmas days we've had in years, we decided to spend Boxing Day relaxing next to the gently flowing water, watching the littlies play and catch frogs and enjoying the remains of a wonderful Christmas lunch...






We’ve had my grandmother and her husband with us the past few days, so they came along too.  After a quick picnic breakfast of tea and home baked muffins, Granny, Nancy and I hit the beautiful trail through the forest to the waterfall pool where we enjoyed a refreshing and chilling swim.  After our 3.2km hike, we came back to our spot to find it was already lunch time...





What a beautiful day we were blessed with – the weather stayed cool the whole morning and during the early afternoon, the clouds burst and sent forth a short and light shower of rain which saw us gathering our goodies and returning home.



I hope you and your family had an equally special and blessed day together.

Love,
Kelly

Where the Water Ebbs & Flows









For months we’d threatened to take a day trip to the beautiful Wilderness National Park, Ebb & Flow, but it wasn’t until a few Sundays ago that we actually did.  Our whole family and friend  spent a day walking in the forest and picnicking on the banks of the river.  Mom and I packed a lovely lunch which everyone looked forward to during the walk!  And the Lord really blessed us with amazing weather and clear skies.  Not until we left at around 4:00pm did the clouds begin to fill the sky.  By the time we arrived home, the first raindrops were falling.  Fortunately Mom had made a yummy milk tart for us to enjoy with tea at home.

Have a blessed week further everyone!
