Searching for the oldest Geocache in Port Elizabeth:

I’ve been Geocaching for four years and have found just short of 2000 caches, yet, and I should probably be ashamed to say it, I have never gone to look for the oldest cache in Port Elizabeth.  The cache, located in the Van Stadens Wildflower Reserve, is called Van Stadens Flower Power and was originally placed on 18 May 2003.  Having cached in the reserve a couple of times before I just can’t believe that I have never taken this specific trail to go and tick it off my To Do list.  A couple of weeks ago I bundled the family into the car and off we went for a quick outing to the flower reserve to find this cache.  While I went climbing to get to ground zero Drama Princess was playing around with my camera and snapped this intrepid explorer in search of treasure.

Ouma’s Christmas Market:

Today had a very strong Christmas theme in our family made up of lots of Christmas shopping and an early family Christmas dinner as we’re going to be away over Christmas.  Ouma, my mom, is a resident at the Buffelsfontein Retirement Village and they also had their Christmas market today.  Ouma has always been very good at knitting and crochet and had a huge variety of things on her table. 
Her wares included finger puppets, Christmas tree decorations, Father Christmas dolls, long legged clowns, coasters, doilies, beanies and so much more, all at really cheap prices.  I was very disappointed at the turnout though as not many people stopped by, but a lot of the blame should land on the shoulders of those who organised the day and did very little to no effort to promote it.  Anyhow, if you’re ever looking for any crocheted items for gifts, you know who to ask.
