Robin

Robin is a man of many talents - this tractor fixing task had been waiting a few years - well, 13 years to be precise.

Rest Break

A happy and well-earned rest day for work party members at the ranch - Gail, Harold and Robin.

Work Day at the Ranch

We had an excellent work party led by Robin. This is the only ranch in the valley with really good Buddhist prayer flags - one of the many reasons we love it.

Vancouver from Cypress Mountain

Vancouver has been under a blanket of fog for the last week or so. It is much more appealing from the sky than the pea soup view on the ground.

Christmas Lunch

We enjoyed Christmas lunch with Ange and Magnus, Martin, Elanor and Joseph. Lots of fun and a great turkey.

Cynthia and I spent Christmas morning with Mark and Silke, Lucy, Hanna and Maruja. Mark's ice sculpture has set off some friendly competition in the neighbourhood with everyone making forts, snowmen and other creations i the snow.

Merry Christmas

All of Canada is celebrating a white Christmas, the first time since 1971. Snowshoeing, tobogganing and shoveling snow are the activities of choice. Vancouver is covered in blanket of snow and neighbours are out on the street meeting each other and saying hello with their cars snowed in for the holidays. Merry Christmas everyone!

Arthur and Michelle Attwell - married at Rosebank Church on Nov 8, 2008

Arthur, eldest son of Tim and Barbara Attwell, and Michelle Matthews got married at the Rosebank Methodist Church, Cape Town, on Saturday, 8 November 2008. Tim did the honours as the minister. It was a happy, relaxed occasion, with family and friends. The reception was in the garden of the manse behind the church. Tim, as you know, is the minister at Rosebank. The wedding is the latest in a line of Attwell family weddings at Rosebank, including Anne and Pat Hill, Paddy and Melanie Attwell and Honore and Mzo Gaza, and others going back possibly 100 years or so. The pictures show Michelle and Arthur, and cousins, Emma Attwell (daughter of Tim and Barbara), Honore (daughter of Anne and Pat) and Rob (son of Paddy and Melanie).
