Clouds over Pretoria

We knew 2010 was going to be a good year: since the start of April we have had 116mm of rain! Today is bright and sunny again after almost 2 weeks of clouds and rain. Living on the top of the same hill as the UNISA Muckleneuk campus, we enjoy magnificent views of storms over town and to the west, memorable sunsets. Kruin Park on our northern fence is green and well-watered, as are all the street trees making our little enclave a real bird haven. Yesterday we saw a flock of 20 Green Pigeons in our street! Our street lights are working and we are on top of the world. Legodimong Bed and Breakfast is really a destination to remember.

Ngwaga wo moswa! Happy New Year!

2010 is finally with us. May this year be full of all the things you've longed for - good soccer in June, lots of visitors, good rains and a few good books. South Africa is readying herself to host the World Cup soccer - so we look forward to newly widened and tarred streets, the Gautrain rail link 'flying' between cities, no litter on the streets - this is going to be a memorable time! 2010 is a year of hope and it's almost palpable.

We look forward to hosting YOU here at Legodimong, high on the hill overlooking the city of Pretoria / Tshwane. May you take home with you a small measure of the peace and hope to be found on this hilltop.
