We Have Moved

2007-11-10T00:07:00.000+02:00

Hi Everyone. Wow what a delay since our last posting. The reason is that we have been in the process of moving. This is the Last picture that was taken of us as family in South Africa.

Behind us is the Magoebaskloof valley near Tzaneen. A few days later Lara left for England as she had to be there by September 4.

Layken and myself has joined her since and we are currently living with her sister Lydia Simplicio and Lydia's fiancé, Stuart Gordon.

We have acquired a house to rent in Hemel Hempstead and will receive the keys on December 3. But we are not sure as to when our furniture from SA will arrive.

Soon we will post photo's of us in England. We are waiting to move in so that we can officially say this is where we will be for the next few years coming.

Lara is teaching maths at Stanborough International School. It is a Seventh-day Aventist school. If you want to see it, just google it. Very nice school. It is situated in Watford, just 10 minutes from Hemel Hempstead. I am pastoring one church, Hemel Hempstead, and one company, Welwyn Garden City.

We are excited about being here and are looking forward to a great time with God.

Zoro Lost

2007-06-26T18:11:00.000+02:00

As you can see Zoro had to hand over his mask. It was a tough fight but the un-identified lady in the picture won. Just if you wonder it was me, Layken. Layken had great fun at our recent district camp that was shared by Tzaneen, Hoedspruit and Phalaborwa congregations.

A Day in the Life of Layken Venter

The swing that oupa put up in the front garden. Lekker shade.

"Higher mommy, higher."
After a hard day of swinging it was time for some chocolate, not biltong.
This is it. I have learnt to swim on my own and yesssssss, I loved it. If only mommy would leave me alone.

Campmeeting 2007

It was a wonderful experience this year. We had great speakers and were blessed exceptionally. If you want to hear Ps Stephen Bohr preach then go to audiovers.org a great website for sermons on mp3. As you can see mommy still looks great. Layken is growing taller and daddy is growing in the horizontal direction.

Oh No You Caught Me

It was either a chocolate, brownie or maybe just being surprised that you have found her.

What a View

The view from the Pekoe View tea garden. What you see is Magoebaskloof.

Us At Last

2007-06-05T18:26:00.000+02:00

At last we have entered e-space. This is us at Pekoe View, a little (big) tea garden outside Tzaneen situated in the middle of tea plantations.

2007-06-05T17:57:00.000+02:00

We have arrived on the e-space. We are hoping to soon have some pics and other interesting stuff to share.
