Saturday Spot: Se7en Visit The Breakfast Show, Expresso…

So this is the year that I promised to take outings more seriously, and be a bit more adventurous than just going around the corner. So when Amy from SABC3’s breakfast show, Expresso, contacted us and asked if we would like to visit their Television Set, I responded sure… And into the traffic we launched!!!

Can you imagine how many heads we would turn if we went for a visit to the television set together!!! Sending a couple of hugs to your little guys on the far side of the world!!!

  8. Wow! You were all so fortunate to visit a TV set! Did you get your children to watch the show on TV after that just for fun?!

  10. Oh S… I have to confess the breakfast show is from 5:30 till 7:30 in the morning… and NOT one of us is awake then!!! NOT ONE!!! So no we have not watched the show!!! I think I should tape so that they can see the set “From the other side”… Why didn’t I think of that already, its a great idea!!! Have a fun week!!!

  11. Hi there Marcia, We loved our outing, I especially like the photos outdoors when they finally relaxed a were more themselves!!! Luckily our blog isn’t really about me as I hate my photo being taken!!! Very occasionally I appear in our blog, the last picture of me was in this post… and I only agree ot photographs so that my kids will one day have something to remember me by!!! Seriously!!! I hope you guys have a fun fun weekend!!!
