I would love to see what our old house looks like now. It was an absolute mess when we moved in, and when we moved out of town years later it was a paradise garden. Can someone take a photo? It would be really great to see!
E27-8th Avenue, near the tank park?
I have'nt taken photo's of the houses in ages, people were giving me funny looks when this white double cab with a German Sheperd hanging out the window, big white male hangs out the window and starts to take pics.... all hell breaks lose ... for some reason or other they think I was investigating something.... ... I'll get back to taking pics in a month or so... unless Alfie beats me to it.....
Gee, we must have been neighbours... We were on the corner, then you and then the Munn's on the otherside
was the Bester's and xxxx cannot remember and then the du Cruz. Our garden was also so great, what with my mom being a florist and today it looks like the desert. It is so sad when water is for free and they still dont even bother, i give up...........
Wow, Susan, I had the same thought when I saw the address! We played so much with you guys, Christine, that my Mom used to say they may as well put in a gate between us because we spent as much time there as we did in our own garden!
What are your brothers and sister's names? I have an idea we used to go on the same plane to Windhoek to school?

Ummm...I think you stayed there long before us. We only moved in around 1998 or 1999...When were you living in that area?
Sjoe...thinking back it was a really nice area to live. Near the tank park and putt-putt, the dune and East Gate...I really miss that place!!
You are correct, my folks left in 1990. All that i can remember about our neighbours is that they were Afrikaans, will keep on searching...........
Mmm...I'll try to help find out who lived there before. Most of our neighbours in that area had been living there a while when we moved in. The McKays lived next to us on the corner, the van Geems family lived down the street for years and years. The Kalondo family also lived in the house across from us - they lived there for quite a while before we moved into the neighbourhood. Maybe you could ask around those families?
I'm not to sure if they will be able to help as that was way before they even arrived let alone born.
thnx

Have you been reading the Mrs mags again???? :emot98:
Nope, I read the mags on the shop shelf, fill in the crosswords and then put them back on the shelf... and wait for a customer to complain, sometimes for more of a response I even leave a slice of tomato between the pages.... laughpoint

Thanx sooooo much Alfred!! I remember you living about 3 houses away from us. Sjoe, your daughters must be all grown up by now? Mandie is almost taller than me and 'hardegat' as they get at 13!!
Christine They are getting big the eldest will be 18 end of this year, the middle 15 and we also have a laatlametjie she will be 5
the bad news is i'm getting old
I'm watching you.....why aren't you at work
18??!! Sjoe, they really are getting big!!!! Aw, I remember the laatlammetjie was born a year or so before we moved, right? Sjoe, can't believe she's almost 5!!!
Getting older is not the painful part - it is how you embrace it!!
I will try to send you pics of my ma and how she's doing. The old lady is also not so jonk anymore...!
Hi Christine the photo's I promissed you, maybe you won't remember the first house but ask your mom and dad they will be surprised

I have a hazy memory . the position of the pondock .. didnt the Du Toits stay there Years ago ?/ He was the postmaster .. in the 70's .. there is somthing stuck in my mind .. i remember as an appie we had to go to the house and all in the area to do repair after some idiot ahd worked in the substaion nearby on the weekend .. got the neutral mixed up with one of the 3 phases so all the houses being fed by this substation got 380 v instead of 220 V .. their lights burned bright .. their fridges worked overtime , in fact any appliance went into overdrive when the power was put on again and then fizzled out ... we had to do damage control replacing light bulbs and assessing all appliances for claims against the company ..
Must've been some great fireworks... :36_2_35:
