Showing my face.

As some of you may know, I have spent Christmas and New Year away from Rehoboth and have spent the time with my family in Johannesburg. The festive time was a really nice time of relaxation and just a time to chill out and put my feet up. I have missed being at Rehoboth and on Christmas day I was thinking how excited the kids would have been opening their presents and playing with their toys.

I feel like the George from "It's a wonderful life" getting to see things at Christmas as if I weren't there only this time everyone is happy and not sad.

On top of the Christmas with the family, I spent 5 days at the Kruger National Park with Ali who came out for a mid-school year holiday. We had a great time, seeing lots of animals but the elusive leopard still wasn't found. It was nice to catch up with stories from home and share stories of Rehoboth.

We return tomorrow and then it's back to the hard work for me and time for Ali to see the kids again. Its also time to get things sorted after a break at just the right time.

I hope you have all had a wonderful time of celebration. And I pray you all have a blessed and prosperous new year.

Until next time.

Robbie
