With Baby Girl Prior getting more and more active with each passing day it was with much excitement and anticipation that we headed for the doctors offices for our 28 weeks scan. Our previous scan had been a little disappointing from a game viewing point of view since our little girl wasn’t playing ball and …
If one is to judge a years fishing by the first fish of the season, I’d say I’m in for a pretty good year. After Nick’s severe mocking of me, post his springer smashing session, it was time for some serious payback. As such I was both excited and nervous as we headed down to …
I guess some people may have called this particular trip a disaster with several things going wrong almost daily. But in truth it was really just an adventure, which is exactly what every camping trip should be. Hotels confuse me with their air con and TVs. I don’t travel to sit in rooms and watch TV. I …
This year Christmas belonged to the Steele family, so after work on Monday Sharon picked me up and we headed for her parent’s home in Richards Bay. Our first evening was spent at a restaurant called Porky’s overlooking the small craft harbour. The scenery was fantastic and the yachts, as always, looked magical lit up by the …
Christmas is fast approaching and according to Sharon it’s not just the Christmas tree that needs to be put up this year. Enter the cot.

Each passing week of Sharon’s pregnancy seems to fly by faster than the last. And the faster time passes by the faster Sharon’s belly seems to grow. In fact, during a recent weekend away with Nick and Tarryn, Nick actually though he could see Sharon’s belly swelling with each passing day. Now although that’s not …
With Friday being my birthday we decided to head to Imfolozi for a weekend in the bush. Why I didn’t take the Friday off I’m not sure? None the less, Sharon picked me up from the office at around 3:30pm and we began the journey to the gate. After fighting through the Friday afternoon traffic …
A big thank you to my mom who did our wedding plate for us, it must’ve been a colossal task and turned out fantastically. A big thank you also to everyone who attended and signed it.
Amazingly the Wild Bird Trust asked me to publish a gallery of my bird photography on their website. As such the weekend was spent choosing a handful of my birding photos and publishing them to a small gallery. Then an amazing thing happened, National Geographic saw my gallery and chose one of my photos for their top 25 …
