Kayley

I found these wonderful old photos of Kayley on Russell's blog. She's grown into such a wonderful young woman. 

Now all grown up (Aged 17)

Afrikaburn reunion

Lovely to all get together again. We had Vietnamese summer rolls and pancakes for dinner. We then watched the slide show I had put together which everyone loved.

 

Night on Table Mountain

Rob and Dawn invited Russell, Brandon and I to stay with them in The Mountain and Ski Club hut on the top of Table Mountain. I walked up with Dawn via Constantia Kek and the Jeep Track and the others joined us later.  The weather up the top of the mountain was sublime with a warm berg wind. Dawn and I had a glorious swim in the dam. Russell brought up a bottle of delicious port and Brandon made the best hot chocolate I have ever tasted with cream liquor in it. The next day, Russell and I strolled to the Diving Board for photos. He then stayed for a swim while Dawn and I hiked down together again. Some wonderful heart to heart chats with her.

Playing Wingspan

It took a while to learn the rather complex rules but after that, I really loved the game.  It is a birder's delight. Always lovely to spend an evening with Russell, Brandon and Warren. I forgot my glasses and had to drive back with Russell and Brandon to get them as I couldn't read the cards!

Initiation

 

All newbies to the Afrikaburn must ring the gong, roll in the dust and then shout loudly "I'm not a virgin anymore!"
