Does anyone remember the time Steve Worth and a friend of his undertook the cycle journey from Cape Town to Oranjemund circa late 70 's . I think it had something to do with fundraising for the scouts . in those days it was considered madness to contemplate such a journey on a bicycle .. anyhow hats off , they did it arriving safely albeit tired and a bit saddle sore .. Steve now stays in Woodstock around the corner from me .. bump into him occasionaly in Woodstock lounge ... attached a pic as they crossed over the bridge .........
Gosh now there's a thing!! Mike Hardman (brother) was living in Omd then and used to send us newsletters ... I totally fell in love with Steven ... didnt know him from a bar of soap but on just seeing the photos etc etc and then meeting him when Mike and Viv got married ... oh my gosh I was in heaven!! He was a very shy guy... often wondered what he was up to... I would like to get hold of Penny sometime .. any idea what she's up to?? I have chatted to Viv on a few occasions but we never seem to get out dates right to catch up.

Seems to be the same thing that happened the first time you saw Sudbury, too!
Ouch, Pete.
Bev, where is Mike these days, used to purchase pipes etc from him, had his old contact details, any chance of supplying me a contact number?
Bev
I would like to get in tough with Viv, we used to work together at the Mine Store, Uubvley.
Charmain
Charmaine .. I will send your email addy to her ....
Thanks Sandy, I will appreciate it.
Charmain
I remember my mom taking us 3 boys round the the Worths house on Saturdays, she would often sit with Flo knocking back a few whilst the Springbok Radio hit show was on, the 2 of them where mad about that song " Don't cry for me Argentina".... anyhow whilst they made merry we would play in the pondok in the garden, they stayed in 8th avenue.... in the pondok was an old chemistry set, more than likely an old toy of stevens, we had a blast........ don't know why I remembered that!
:o
Something I remember about Steven's father, Sid was the one Monday morning when Viv arrived at work, killing herself with laughter. Her dad was on his way to church the Sunday and could not find both his shoes, so he decided to go with two odd shoes!!
Charmain
Hi Clive .... Mike is well ... he has a company here in Cape Town called precision meters and is doing very well... soemthing to do with water meters.
Pete... re Sudbury.... hey he is just a cute big teddy bear and of course I still love him to bits!
Bev
Is this Kevin Sudbury you are speaking about? My sister who lives in Koffiefontein is friends with his sister, Chrissie, who lives in Kimberley
Charmain
Hi Charmaine... yeah there can only be one Kevin Sudbury in this world! I actually chatted to him recently on the phone... he sounds well.
Stephen hasn't changed too much - still very independent and doing his own thing in life. He is at UCT doing his MBA at the moment and I think will probably be going back to Antarctica next year. Oh - he's still single!!
Viv has remarried and lives in Pretoria - very happy. She has also not changed much - she & Sandy see each other seldom but oh grief can they cause ruckus when they get together - some people never grow out of mischief or maybe they just bring out the young side of each other. A great friendship.
I live in cape Town and thankfully am also single. I'm the stable one of the family ?????
Penny
Hi Penny welcome to the website .. Ok pm ? is that short for pms ? You the stable one .. have my doubts there ,, you just slowed down a bit for a while .. maybe just catching your breath for the next whirlwind ?? but dont worry we like you the way you are .. with regard to me and Viv , come on I think we have slowed down a bit ?? .. although again we have not been set loose alone lately as well ..
Hi Sands
I am like a frigging kid on this website - wonderful to hear about all the oldies hey? I reckon our Braampie has curbed Viv a bit but give her just one night on the town with you !!!!!!- please do it when I'm outta the country. Have you told her about this site? Juanita Lisser phoned to let me know and haven't been off! I think you should tell the truth about all that shit you and Viv got up to and put security at ease. What you say?
Penny .. In time .. In time .... slowly I release the stories .. depends on the mood and how much time I have .. If you observe I been posting pictures .. and telling some stories ... scanning alone takes up valuable time ... I need to keep up appearances of having a life and busy job as well you know .. thank goodness I got quick access here ..
Ok I got your name meaning now .. pm .. its "after dark" a mysterious code name ?? .. maybe you should change it to that ..
Penny
Please let me know whereabout in Pretoria Viv lives. We worked together at Uubvley Mine store and I would love to get in touch with her. I have been living in Pretoria since 2000.
Charmain
Hi Penny welcome to the site. Hope you are well, I am sure we could bring back a memory or two. How are you keeping. I am single now have been for 13 years. Living in England. Please send regards to viv. Get her one line.
speak soon
Regards
Barbara Eia (Brownless)
Hi Barbara
David's making a nuisance of himself, as usual. Visiting us and polishing off all our wine with Diana.
Wish you were here. Braaing on Sat and will have a drink on you.
Debby & Diana
Hi Barabara
Great hearing that you are well - how is Susan doing?
Remember how whenever we had a jol, Susan was too scared to creep home in the wee ours so used to just take herself off to hospital? What a strange thing to remember over the years!!
Sadly, like myself, Viv is extremely technologically challenged but have told her about the site and will send regards.
Hi Pennt and Debbie
I have to go to work, have been marking portfolio's all morning and now have to go into the office for meeting and then to a student to do obsevations. Will get back in touch when i get back at 5.30.
Cheers till then
Barbara

Hi Diana

Another scan of Stephen arriving in town...
There's the one and only Bennie Willson on the right of the picture
SHarp Eyes Arab Lady........ Another Benny the Rocker Moment, he almost seems like the Vernon Koekemoer of Oranjemund back in the day... ANyone want to try and guess where in Oranjemund that photo was taken?
By the power station .. the cooling towers are behind the wall .. I was lurking there but not picked up by the camera .. I see Nina Jones .. Barbara Selby ( White pant suit clapping hands ) Stirling Mc Bride ( striped T shirt ) Frankie Quirk lurking .. Looks like me Mum with the huge sunglasses far right .. could be Karin Singer Far left in background ..
His guy was realy cool. He was our leader owls I think) at scouts.
Does he still get up to tough tests of the kind Sandy??
