Allotment, Geocaching, Homebrew, Walks 'n Stuff

Just spent 3 hours at the allotment chopping wood for the stove at home. I loved using the chainsaw in anger and swinging the splitting maul for the 1st time. The shed will make a great place to store it over the winter.

Well we are back from a fantastic holiday in South Africa. We did 2 days in Cape Town, then 3 in Gansbaai (shark diving) and then back to Cape Town for 6 more. Ended up only doing 2 days shark diving as the 1st day was cancelled due to bad weather, but all in all the weather was superb. We saw some amazing wildlife and has some great days and nights. Wildlife seen:

• Whales (in Hermanus and De Kelder) Even saw one leaping from the water and then the wonderful tail shot.
• White Sharks off Dyer Island
• Seals on Dyer Island
• Baboons wandering all over the road in Cape of Good Hope, one even got into someones car – brilliant
• Ostriches and several of the young in Cape of Good Hope
• 2 nesting herons in Cape of Good Hope
• Penguins at several locations but best of all just near Bettys Bay
• Huge bee hive on a tree in Cape of Good Hope
• Rocks Hyrax also know as the Dassie – loads of them everywhere

Plus of course we managed to get 14 Geocaches while we were there. we could have gotten so many more but didn’t want to spend all of our time hunting the plastic box

This is going to be very photo heavy and 1st we have some Panaormas
