Exam Term, Stellenbosch

I can only write about my family
with their permission
and I am very grateful to them
for being so tolerant over the past three years.

I am particularly careful with photographs
because I do not want to compromise their privacy.

These photos were sent by MasterM recently
and I was surprised and delighted
when he said that I could post them here.

It might be linked to the fact
that the Head of Department is visiting Stellenbosch
and has offered to take an emergency supply of fudge.

    *Applied Physics - Basic Newtonian Theory?
    * Applied Physics - Advanced Newtonian Principles?
    * Urban Geography?
    * In-depth Review of A. Wainwright (the Southern Hemisphere edition)?
    * Modern Dance and Movement?

  12. I am here from bb's blog; had to investigate Alice! My elder son spent a semester at the University of KwaZulu-Natal in Pietermaritzburg in 2005, so I know the feeling of having a son far away. We live in rural northern Wisconsin, US, which is pretty much as rural as one can get in the US.
