When I leave King Shaka airport, there’s no question that I’ve arrived In Kwa-Zulu Natal. I’m still trying to get my head around the combo of Zulu dolls next to reindeer, but ’tis the Season of Goodwill, so this is no time to niggle.
As is normal in December, the Summerveld area is either shrouded in mist, chilly and drizzly or else blazingly, tropically hot. I can’t say I enjoy the Mist Belt climate. Sunny, windy Cape Town suits me better!
The family wear silly Christmas hats, festive cheer abounds, and a good time is had by all.
The cherry on top of my Christmas visit was having the resident cat cosily curled on my pillow. Such a relaxing pic!
I hope your Christmas was equally relaxing and /or wildly festive, whichever is your preference.
And now its almost time to say: HAPPY NEW YEAR! May 2020 be a peaceful and happy year.
