Seems like summer is back ...


OK, so summer is either back, or it's the calm before the storm, but we're having the most beautiful weather EVER here in Cape Town!  

Another good weekend all round, with a surprise visit from John's mom and Paul to a planned visit by Marc and Lauren.

Friday night we met up with Marc, Lauren .... Levi .... yip, Ben and a few other friends, at Kalk Bay's Brass Bell, a pretty disappointing meal all round, but still fun to see old friends!  We went for a little nightcap down at Cape to Cuba and off home to meet Rose & Paul who only arrived from Jo'burg at 11:30pm Friday night.  

Saturday morning I went for my photography practical and met up with John and the folks at Olympia for some freshly baked breakie.  Had a little afternoon snooze and met up with the gang at Deeno's Restaurant in Newlands before the rugby.  The Stormers beat the Western Force by 1 point, but we had the "best seats in the house" ... hey Ben!  

Lauren, Marc, Warrick, Romy and my Tuck!

Mattie & a little hungry Candz

The K brothers sneaking a sip in the stands

The Woollams at Newlands!

And last but not least, the Stormers girls right in front of us ... best seats in the house?

Sunday morning ... Mothers Day ... or as I prefer to call it ... Mothers-to-be Day!  It was the most beautiful day, so John, myself, Lauren and Marc, decided to go to Llandudno for a  little beach day.  What fun, we packed a HUGE picnic basket, with ingredients for Marc to make "The Best Rolls EVER" for lunch, the boys had a little swim, we played beach tennis, John surfed the biggest waves I've seen at Llandudno and I tanned my baby bump a bit!

"Lauren, you have to send me some of the pics, 'cause I don't have any!"

We didn't get to see that much of Rose and Paul, due to it being Paul's dad, Bernard's 99th birthday!!!  

Happy Birthday Bernard, we hope you had such a special day with your family down in Cape Town!  

But we had our Mothers Day dinner for John and his mom last night.  It was the first year John has spent Mothers Day with his mom in almost 10 years!  So a very special evening.

The table set outside, thanks to our gorgeous weather!

John and his mom cheers on Mothers Day!

So to end this great weekend, I would like to wish all the Mothers, Mothers-to-be and Grannies, a very happy Mothers Day!
