I have just gone back into Carol's blog (facing5o) and I was so pleased to see your comment there. I was starting to get a bit worried about you, as I haven't seen you around at all for over a week now. Is everything okay. Hope Noodles is alright.

Its architecture has both an airy and a solid feel to it. The delicate lacy decorations on the front walls and the towering gables seem almost fairy-tale-like. <br /><br />I'm always astounded by the gardens you share with us. And I'm wondering if throughout all of South Africa there is a devotion to the creation of lovely gardens. <br /><br />The Department of Natural Resources for South Africa should hire you and your husband as writers and photographs to provide copy for their travel brochures!!!! You'll have all your readers traveling there soon!<br /><br />Peace.
