Dear All,
Although we have not met all of you, and my Property Letter mailing list grows, the majority of you still are family, and old and new friends, so I hope you will all forgive a little bit of personal news thrown in. Likewise I know that Lao has taken this opportunity to add some of his friends and contacts to our mailing list, so to you I hope you will find this infrequent letter informative and interesting. However, to all of you I stress as always that we do not want to be an annoyance, so if you don’t want to receive these please let us know or just “unsubscribe” at the bottom.
We have had a wonderful break in Cape Town (we are so lucky to live here) and in the game reserves of the North with our and my sister Suzanne’s families. We missed Lao and Katherine…but somebody has to work! We have had wonderful weather, and spectacular game and bird viewing, and I was able to reconnect with many of my ‘old friends’ in the tree world! I am preparing to return to Cannes on Monday, and excited at what lies ahead. There is a so much that is positive going on. Vicky will follow me a fortnight later, on 2nd August. Both our younger children started back at University this week, at the beginning of their second semester in their respective years, having passed all their mid year exams very well. So it’s time for us to get started again too. Read the rest of this entry »
