Holiday 2010

South Africa - March and April 2009

Once again the Milne's were off to South Africa, but this time with a couple of very special reasons.

Firstly, we were going to be seeing our Perth family for the first time in approximately 6 years and it was their first time to meet James and Jack. Secondly, James and Daddy were to be very important people at Derrick and Leanie's wedding in Potchefstroom.

We of course also spent time in Cape Town with Ouma Dimples, Tannie Nita and all the gang there.
