Andrew

Pragtige verslag - jy was naby my ma se familie daar in die koue bokkeveld! Ek droom nou al lank van n trip daarnatoe maar soos jy se: So many places...so little time!

Dan ek hou van die Orania idee maar met jou van weet ek nie of hulle nie eers n security screening sou gedoen het nie...

Thanks gents,

Is there some ground for sale that you know about in the koue bokkeveld?

As for Orania - I normally say my surname as Van Vieslikevan. When they hear my accent they assume I am Dutch, offer me cheese and a discount. (dat bin een veel te duur, pispaalje)

Van Varkevisser
Van Moerkerken
Nederbok
Varkefo**er

(real Dutch surnames by people who did not believe that the government could force people to have surnames and therefore made a joke of it)

Ek sal maar n bietjie met n neef probeer kontak maak. Hy boer of het tot redelik onlangs by Nieuwoudtville (oorlogskloof) Daar is n Kolie Louw van Van Rhynsdorp wat op n stadium vrae oor n 280 gehad het op die gwagenclub site - my neef en oupa was Kolie maar hy was toe nie so naby familie nie = dalk kan mens hom opspoor en ook uitvind? ek wil versriklik graag so n trip daar na die familie onderneem maar die tyd!? Eishh!

Groete tot later

Andrew,

Pasop net as jy 'n plaas koop daar, die Verre Wes-Tvl gesegde bly waar:
"maak seker daar is water, grond kan ons self aanry!"

(For the English readers: Traditional advice when buying farmland in the dry regions: "Ensure there is water, the soil we can cart in later"

Groete

Cecil
