What I Remember |
For a very long time I did not want to return to the Farm but I am past that and a while back we decided to take Christoffel up on his invitation.
The whole week I was excited as a kid to get to the weekend.
That Early Morning Quiet |
Friday morning we packed, hooked up the quads and took a leisurely drive out. We took in the scenery and the new developments along the way. A new garage here and a house done up there, but the memories that we have are all good ones and slowly the familiar drifted back.
That BIG Pig |
Friday afternoon Dirk, Harry and Richard went off to hunt and not even an hour later they were back with the bounty. A warthog when skinned and gutted of over 50 kg. Smiles on their faces and talk of how it stood and where it was hit. That's what Richard was looking to do for a very long time.
We had supper at the main house with a fire going, good wine and even better conversation.
The Impala |
We spend the day going back on to our old farm. We went through the first gate, took the center road and when we reached the second gate there was some trepidation. Should we or shouldn't we? I am not sure what that feeling was but we decided to go further.
Happy Chappies |
Richard and Harry went off to shoot an Impala in the afternoon, so we are now well stocked with biltong for quite some time.
Everything about this weekend was absolutely perfect.
