  1. Oh, beautiful mountains and snowcaps. Ahhhh.

    And THAT is what those horns look like that have been in all the sports articles… ;P Too funny – I make my husband mute all games that he watches. 🙂

  2. Hi there Denise… Our purple headed mountains are beautifully snow capped just a pity there is no easy access to explore it – well a good days hike away from the nearest place to park, which is half a days drive away… sometimes it comes closer but the thought of it getting colder when we are totally ill equipped for cold – no heating and really inadequate clothing, “just pop on an extra layer” is a little bit daunting!!! And as for the Vuvuzelas… love them or hate them I think they are hear to stay. Through the tv it sounds like a load of buzzing hornets but up close it is a loud PAAAAARRRRPPPP and they are relentless… the horns that is!!! I have to say I have one trumpeter that has one never far from his lips and every time someone passes he “blows his horn” in companionship. Sigh!!! Enjoy your summer!!!
