Christmas Tree Time Lapse
Check out this time lapse of our Christmas tree going up for Katie’s first Christmas!
India! A Sensory Extravaganza!
India is a sensory extravaganza! There’s no other reasonable way to describe it. The only caveat to that statement is that during my stay I only managed to spend time in two cities, Pune and New Delhi, and sadly never got to experience rural India. Would a change in my itinerary have changed my views? Probably …
Umngazi River Bungalows
We were lucky enough to be treated to a week at Umngazi River Bungalows shortly after having our second daughter. So after spending a weekend with Sharon’s folks on the farm we headed south to the Umngazi River mouth. Despite it being only 130kms away as the crow flies (from the farm), it was 220kms …

This year the UHTFC decided to host it’s inaugural UHTFC Xplorer Fly Fishing Festival.
