Quarry Road and Springfield Park.

R is for river on ABC Wednesday. If you'd like to know more take a look at Mrs Nesbitt's Place.

Today we look at the view from the back of our tall building. The river is the Umgeni, which seperates Durban from Durban North. The Blue Lagoon is at the mouth of this river (off the picture to the bottom right).

This is the site of the old Quarry which provided the slate for our houses many years ago. The course Umgeni river sand was also very popular at the time for building.

These days this area is mostly industrial and large warehouse type shops.

Phat Boyz

I thought the interior decor of the Phat Boyz restuarant in Scottburgh was simple and very pretty. It always amazes me at how much some people can do with relatively little - giving credence to the saying "less is more".

Of the biking breakfasts we have had so far, this was one of those on the top of the list - again for simplicity and quality in one meal. Certainly worth another visit.

Large gathering.

Not sure what was the occasion, but when your house is a little small to accommodate many guests, a marquee comes in very handy.

Hilton Quarry

This week we dined at a little coffee shop in Hilton Quarry Center - a rather pretty shopping center on the edge of the now disused quarry at Hilton.

Hilton is a lovely town a little further inland from Pietermaritzburg, along the N3.

This of course is the quarry, which provides a relaxing backdrop while you enjoy your meal.

Need a car?

Durban International Airport on a Saturday afternoon. Guess it's best to reserve your car before you arrive, otherwise you could be disappointed.

Dancing clouds.

Some days the little clouds perform a beautiful dance across the sky. It can really lift one's spirits if you take a few minutes out of your hectic schedule to just enjoy.

Join the rest of the relaxed gang who take the time to enjoy the sky.

Bridging the gap.

Bloggers have united on Human Rights Day. While there are many causes to figh for, my thougths go to our immediate neighbours, the people of Zimbabwe, who are still having such a hard time achieving free and fair elections, and the right to enjoy their own country.
