A GREAT SURPRISE!!!

[Debby Opperman (Biccard)]

Thanks Bertie.....that was a great surprise.

Bertie has personally delivered a bottle of KWV to my door in celebration of our 1st birthday tomorrow....Yaaaay!

Way to go Bertie,   

[Diana Rudd (Boehme)]

Wow and me too. Was quite touched nearly wanted to cry.  To Bertie     e154

Debbie see you to-morro nite at 7.30 for the party. Will bring my bottle as well.

[Debby Opperman (Biccard)]

Let me explain to the people out there...For those who do not know that is.. :emot19:

DIANNA DOES NOT ANSWER HER DOOR OR PHONE BETWEEN 2 AND 3 PM. After Bertie delivered my wine, he asked for directions to Diana's house which is around the corner from where I live. He then called me to say that he is at her house but no-one seems to be home...I knew of only one way of reachng her and that is on the forum where you will normally find her at that time.

I think Diana deserves a  present for being such an avid user.

[Michael Alexander]

   This is really great news.... way to go ... I just wonder how long it will take Bertie to drive to Ireland to drop of Rhona's bottle...... ssssh! Bobbysmith might hear of this.....

Hey Bertie!
Don't you think you should've started earlier if you wanted to surprise us all by tomorrow?

With regards to Debbie post. I take the phone off the hook as not to wake Morgan,when she sleeps I rest.This is how I rest and I need lots of rest "cos I'm old.
I.ve been posting since the veerry begining so it will take some time for all our other avid posters to catch up except for Boy Georg he overtook me long ago.
Once again thank you so much Bertie, now I can take my oown bottle to Debbie to-morro instead of raiding Richards cellar.
Boy Georg the wine is for CAPE TOWN cos we the best town after O'mund    ::   Wellla ca pellla

Glad I could trace some of you.  To the rest, I wish I had Santa's sleigh, would've loved to pop in at Mike & Michele, Dalene, Bobby, all the Ruffs, Rhona, oh my, the list is endless.......

Unfortunately my trokkie could only manage the Cape Town area.  I managed to get some info on the regulars on the site through their e-mail addresses, posts, web addresses and the CT phone book.  Like I said, wish you were ALL in the CT directory!!!!!! 230 km trip, but worth it.  Would have liked to stay at all of you a little longer, but had to be back in Kuilsriver at 4pm (which I didn't make!)

@ Georg - Oh I wish.  You know I only stumbled onto the site 35 days ago.  And then only heard about the birthday later.  So, I really didn't have time to go further than Cape Town and surrounds.  Who knows maybe 2nd Birthday????  Then I might get a bit further.  Anybody know what Santa does with his sleigh in the off season?

[Michael Alexander]

The sleigh is stored in that wooden green shed on the way to the dog kennels with the rest of the CHristmas Tree rides....   

[Dalene Steenkamp (Coetzee)]

So, if I hear jingles and some HO HO HO' and see a dust cloud on the road, then I must know that Bertie has landed in the Kalahari to come and deliver my wine!  Shot  -  just for that I'll keep the best chops and ribbetjie for a braai for you, Bertie! 

[Bertie Horak]

Thanks Dalene!  If we dont get the sleigh in time, I'll DEFINITELY plan ahead next time and come claim my tjoppie in the Kalahari!!!!!

[Dalene Steenkamp (Coetzee)]

You should!  We shall built a bonfire with Kameeldoring hout - big enough so that the guys down in CT can see we are celebrating!
