And a Week That Was Post…

Showing sunshine…

Plenty of it…

Did I mention the blustery wind…

And evening ambles…

And city lights…

And we finally got to see the Christmas lights…

We blogged about se7en + 1 things we would like to try each week this year… and we are popping our 52 Weeks progress into our Week that Was post… accountability and all that!!!

Our 52 Week Challenge
- Walk of the Week: Tokai Plantation is a little further than our usual walks…
- Game of the Week: The game you can just play on forever…
- My Just Because Book:
- Letter of the Week: I totally and utterly forgot to write a letter… even I can’t believe it!!!
- Organizing Project of the Week: Oh blergh… the totally unplanned and galactic computer clean up…
- Recipe of the Week: The Quickest Easiest Cake in the World…
- Our View from the Deck: I cannot believe I will keep this up for 365 days… nearly a month though!!!
- Our Challenge of the Week: Deserves it’s own post, and it follows this one… It’s a kitchen challenge and I am so looking forward to posting it!!!



A friend of mine lent me this book and I read it an afternoon… full of interesting and useful snippets. This doesn’t tell you how to homeschool high-schoolers, but rather where homeschooling stands for high-schoolers in South Africa. It was useful in that it provides the legal stand, and mentions a variety of steps for those folk wanting to take their kids from their homeschool and into a tertiary studies. Food for thought.



Otherwise…

We have been hard at play…

And trainspotting…

And have you ever… this is on our walk to the library…

And visitors…

And swimming…

And endless marbeling…

And beach days with friends…

And hide and seek…

And more beach days…


This is a delightful shape book that we got fro the library… I must have read it at least a million times last week!!!
And a Snapshot in Time








That’s us… Hoping you all have the most fantastic week!!!
Oh gosh, your photos are just so beautiful! I at last found our mislaid Uno pack – this weekend we shall Uno
I LOVE THE HIDE AND SEEK ONE! Please print and frame it – it is PERFECT!!!!!
Good for you with all your challenges 🙂
And Hood 1 has a gorgeous IG account – I’m following him 🙂
Tokai forest is my daily (almost) stomping ground and the day we chose to go to “your”beach must have been the windiest one this month so far!
Oh Cat, Thank you so much!!! We have a kids’ pack of UNO, which is a collection of every single lose and missing Uno card ever found… and that my guys use all the time to play. And then a very pristinely kept pack in the actual original box for when they want to play with me… it’s the only way!!! Have a good week!!!
Hi Marcia, good to hear from you – shew… I have no idea where this week has gone… and it is time to start working on next week’s challenges already!!! Thanks for the instagram follow… I love his photographs too!!! Hope you have all had a good week!!!
Hi Wendy, so we swapped hoods… I know, I know… the first week in forever that schools are back and we can claim our beach as our own and it has just been too windy to step out the door!!! What can I say, the luxury of living here is that we can pick our days. Sorry you got such a blustery day when you were down here. Hope you are having a great week!!!
