Robbed at home !!!! Not a happy experience for sure!!!

With all our preparing, packing and last minute travel plans, our minds have been on happy-go-lucky thoughts. How fantastic to know that what was not so long a go but just an embryo, is almost now reality.  Not even 14 days to go and we will be in Franklin at Bryony's lovely sister and family enjoying the moment and sharing stories!!!

This year we will be having the pleasure of meeting three NEW family members !!!!........
A set of twins along with another little fella who already looks so cure and cuddly !!

...AND THEN ......

BANG !!!! , ..... the bubble pops, ......  woke up Saturday morning to find someone had tampered with my car locks. A quick look around of our yard resulted in me finding an empty space where a good friends Water-Ski had been parked!!.

I swear it would have been easy to handle it the Water-Ski was mine, but to have to call your friend and explain that his pride and joy has been stolen was not an easy thing to do. Even as I write this post I am sick to my stomach knowing that he so enjoyed and loved being on the water with it. Knowing that he worked hard to afford it and then worked hard fixing it leaves a very bad taste in the mouth!!.

Now the concern is will these wonderful thieves-of-the-night be back to plunder other our other belongings while we are out of country!!! Sadly our Police force has a lot to be desired as South Africa becomes more and more just another failed African State.

I detest being so negative but after laying a charge of theft at the Police Station it became evident that our little village has become a favorite playing ground for those undesirables who steal, murder and create mayhem!. In recent times quite a few motor vehicles, Jet ski's, quad bikes etc have been stolen from peoples yards. ( all behind high walls) .

Just two day's prior to our robbery we heard what sounded like a Western Movie taking place around the corner only to find out later that a pensioner was nearly killed during am armed robbery at 7 am in the morning !!!

I can carry of forever but sadly nothing will change so .......

THAT'S s enough of that!!!,  here's to us having a FANTASTIC time while traveling around USA meeting all the lovely American folk along the way .

God Bless all out there.
