This weekend we went to visit Mikes (and now my) godparents in Stilfontein... we haven't seen them since our wedding nearly 5 years ago cause Stilfontein is 2 hours from JHB. This was the weather when we started out! It was really chilly this last weekend!
They are amazing people - Aunty Cynthia is so full of life and Uncle Rays mind is flippen amazing! He was a optometrist back in the day - he gave Michael his first pair of glasses and was brilliant in his field!
Michael and Uncle talking cameras, uncle Ray collected cameras since i don't know when and is fascinated by them!
We brought Aunty Cynthia some flowers... and she enjoyed arranging them... we also took them a little photo album of us and our doggies...
Aunty Cynthia has collected cabinets and cabinets of Royal Dalton figurines... i have been hearing so much about them but now i finally got to see them! I think there was like 4 cabinets FULL! Crazy..
I have a thing for mirrors too and Aunty Cynthia had these three stunning ones up in our house! How gorgeous hey!
And this one is my favorite!
We all went to lunch at
and the food was amazing! Really delicious... shame they stayed open an hour later for us.. Mike and Uncle Ray...
Aunty Cynthia and i were chatting too much to get a good pic!
We then took a drive around Stilfontein cause that is where mike was born! It was so lovely seeing where Mike grew up for his first three years of his little life! I have heard all the stories and i have seen all the pictures so i was thrilled to see it all!
This was mikes first home.... i couldn't get too good a pictures as there were two little yappers at the gate! Mike says its changes alot though.
This is the first street Mike grew up in..
Number 18 Godwin street...
This is the church Mike got christened in... i saw the pics of him in his frilly christening dress! Too precious!
What a lovely visit!! And on the way home we were surprised with a raindow.. so magical!
