So, I started this blog post in June 2017!! It has been sitting in my draft box for almost a year... so I think it's about time that it was posted! Enjoy the outdated update!
Those age-old cliches of "time flies when you're having fun", and "life is what happens when you're busy making other plans", couldn't be more relevant to my life in the last six months. Where has the time gone???? We're halfway through 2017 already, and I haven't even had a chance to sit down and put my thoughts down into a single blog post?!?! Time to catch up...
So, some of the big news items so far in 2017:
1) New Year's trip into Lesotho in January resulted in the conception of baby Thomas number 2, who is due in September 2017! Very exciting news - can't wait to meet the little cutie!
2) Corkie and I swam the Midmar Mile (February 2017) for charity this year. Hopefully next year we'll be more organised and get some serious moola for the PinkDrive.
3) Little sister (AKA Ratus Bratus) tied the knot on the farm in March 2017 (*sob*) - no more Torr weddings! All done now with Torr4 a hitched woman!
4) April 2017 - Started a new business with the afore mentioned Ratus Bratus specializing in the selling and renting of pre-loved wedding dresses - Twice Is Nice Boutique. (www.twiceisniceza.com). Know someone looking for an affordable designer wedding dress? Send them our way!
That's about all the exciting news bits and pieces from the last few months... now we are just waiting for Winter to arrive in the Midlands. It's been so mild this year, only two really big frosts so far, and a lot of the grass is still green! We've been waiting weeks to try and get our firebreaks done...not that I'm complaining! But I'm sure this means we are going to have a late cold snap and late Spring rains which translates to another challenging season ahead for the farm. At least now our dams are full again (I will do a post on that next) so that everyone is a little happier going into Winter this year - including the cows!
