We are well and truly back into our weekly routines now and we're starting to find some rhythm with the bakery too. I did a bit of juggling last week with the new food blog kicking off and ended up posting it most nights past midnight, but that too will find it's own pace in time.
The weekend was busy with parties and entertaining. On Sunday James went on one of those very special days: An island treasure hunt where the boys go from island to island looking for clues and treasure. They went to Fallen & Broken Jerusalem, Dead Mans Chest and Salt Island - having to snorkel in from the boat with clues been tied to masts of sunken ships and the like. Thrilling stuff as you can see from their beaming faces.

The boys and I love to listen to music in the car, especially on the drive into school in the mornings. Today we put on a new CD and Shosholoza sung by the Drakensburg Boys Choir came blasting out of the speakers, which had us choking up with memories of South Africa, and then to almost finish us off (tears were running down my face by this time) was Johnny Clegg's Asimbonanga which is a hauntingly beautiful song about Mandela ("we are all islands") when he was still imprisoned. We decided that it made us heartsore for Africa, not homesick - as home is here, but what a wonderful start to the week.
