Max - I am so envious that you've just welcomed spring! Isn't it the best, all nice and clean and fresh.
I could wander round antique shops all day but suddenly everything seems to have become collectible!
Wonderful photo's. A boy and his grandpa, a very special relationship. :)
Why not join our ABC Wednesday if you have the time. I'd love to see more of South Africa, especially after reading Wilbur Smith.
Hi glad spring is here at last, though it has probably been the warmest winter I have ever experienced - but we can still get snow in the interior.
Thanks for the invite - ABC Wednesday looks like fun. How do I get started.
