Busy Tuesday

On route to the Sandy Bay BWA, I took a photo of the amazingly contrasting scenery. The hill in the foreground is lush and green, and immediately behind it, the hills are dead dry.
Once again, the BWA meeting went well. There is a lovely spirit of cooperation and caring amongst these ladies.
Paid a visit to Pat Bellord, who hurt her ankle, and can no longer walk to the chapel. I was surprised that even healthy ankles can make the trek from her home up to the chapel! It was the scariest piece of road that I have driven on so far. Steep, with W hair pin bends, and cliffs falling away on either side of the road. Needless to say, I will be collecting her in the car in future.
Paid a visit to Sharon O’Dean – a young woman who discovered that she had cancer of the colon shortly after giving birth to her first baby. After a long stay in hospital, she is now at home for a few months to build up her strength before she goes to Cape Town for chemotherapy.
Home for a quick bite, then off to Wanda for a private lace making lesson. She is starting me on a simple book marker, and I am still using thin crochet cotton, instead of lace thread. See photo with my first attempts (with a lot of help from Wanda).
Home for an hour, then off to Cape Villa Bible study.
Home for an hour, then Jamestown Bible study.

  1. Phew, what a pace. I'm sorry to hear about Pat's ankle but glad that you will be collecting her for study - it's sobering to think of these older folk trudging up those hills! Well done on the lace, looks like you are making good progress.
