#farmroundup #100creativedays Day 4-8

Take nine rowdy adults, add two impressionable kids... and a few catch phrases...

Ben, age 5 " #whyareyousayinghashtagallthetime "

"Everything is awwwwwwwwesome, everything is great when you're part of a teaaaaam"

"Muska-who?" "Muskadel" "Muska-who?" "Muskadel" (every night... like clockwork)

We travelled to The Farm, just outside Three Sisters, on Saturday morning. The first afternoon was rather placid and topped with a braai.

The days that followed are a delicious blur of nutella-bacon-cream-chilli-cheese, wild drives through the veld on the back of the bakkie, motorbikes, horses, slack-line, sun, naps, moths, sunsets, sheep, solar lights, noisy generators and a lot of laughter.

Thanks for a great holiday kids!

The Farm - a few pretty snaps #100creativedays Day 4-8

 

My Little Pony... #100creativedays Day 4-8

 

I'd like to say that I was diligent about writing in my journal every day that I was on The Farm, but I didn't. It become very flowery. I hope this counts as creative, seeing as I clearly didn't take any of these photos myself!

 

I really think I was born to be "horsey". As a little girl I didn't ride, or draw horses, I think I owned one actual "My Little Pony"... oh and a MLP t-shirt when I was 4... I used to pretend to "ride" a horizontal branch of the guava tree. The same branch doubled as a window when the game changed. Maybe my "horsey" potential was only unlocked later in life. I LOVE RIDING. I barely ride. I took every opportunity to ride while on The Farm.

 

The same guy who wowed me with his crazy balance on the slack-line was equally impressed by the ease with which I threw myself on to the back of Inflation (the horse with the green reins, the other one is Casanova)  and rode off without a care. I do take liberties with "threw myself", it was more like ugly scrambling. But damnit, I can trot. And even better, I can make a horse STOP.

 

Definitely need to explore this hobby further...

 

 

 

Beer Can? Beacon? Bacon? #100creativedays Day 4-8

"Say 'Beer can in a British accent"
"Beercan"
"You just said 'bacon' in a Jamacian accent..."

The Beacon marks the highest point on The Farm... how high? We do not know :) The Jamacian Bacon joke was stretched to cover Beacon too.

"The Farm" belongs to my highschool best friend's family and this is the third time that I've been privilaged enough to visit! I snapped a pile of horrid photos on my old point-and-click, but some came out pretty niiiice. We had sun-downers at The Beacon 2 out of 5 nights (or as The Squire would say 40%)
