2-seater

We got it!

We didn’t know what colour it would have... Yes, bought a car without seeing it cause we are lucky; we know people who know people etcetera, so if ‘our’ people say it’s a good deal we’ll take it. And it was fun, not asking about the colour, hitchhike with Jeff to the dealer, 170 k’s up north, and be surprised.

It’s so spotless – probably not for long.

We love the number plate – gives away in whose name the bluebook is haha.

Kalanchoe something, indigenous to  Madagascar, thriving in our garden next to the compost.
Maud just managed to identify it thanks to a great site about succulents

This Kalanchoe makes babies like there’s no tomorrow. One needs plants like that for swapping with the other gardening maniacs.

Still have to identify this shrub. For now it’s a Miena. It’s great to name plants after the one who gave you the cuttings – but some people give so much that it gets confusing, all those Mienas, Greetjes, Lindys, Jetskes and Peters.

One of our indigenous trees that already were growing on our plot in the beautiful cool morning light.

This cactus (a ‘Greetje’) is very easy to propagate, beautiful and mean. Of you come too close you’ll be covered in really nasty midget spines that are impossible to get out. So our second defence around the fence will be a row of these. Together with the first defence row, sisals, it will keep the goats well away from our nice, defenceless shrubs and climbers that are hiding the fencing.
