A GREAT SURPRISE!!!

darlene have you any objections to bertie picking me up in his sleigh on his way to yours for the kameeldoring braai

[Bertie Horak]

Oh yes, oh yes.  Start gathering the kameeldoring, Dalene!  Bobby - Of course, you'll be my navigator, and there's more seats - definitely have to pick up Rhona and the Georg's and who-ever wants to jump in over Europe, and on the way back to Dalene's farm, we'll fly over the North to pick up Carl and our other friends in the distant parts of the country.

if only bertie,i dont want to be the doctor who sorts me out after that one

[Dalene Steenkamp (Coetzee)]

Hey Bobby, if Bertie has a seat for you in the sleigh  - then for sure there will be a spot next to the fire for you, and some chops as well (and a dop).

Now we gotta start converting that old song - Osbraai op Kromdraai  to  something like this:

Chops braai op Smythe plaas, almal is daar.
Van heinde en verre, bring Bertie hul aan.
Bobby en Georgswa rus op die stoep (Sonder die poep!)
ver in die vertes, 'n jakkals wat roep!

[bobbysmith]

LOVE IT :emot19: 

[Rhona]

Bertie - I rushed home and waited in all day....I even thought my doorbell was broken - but no  for the leprechaun  :emot78:

But now I'm over it and I think your idea was a wonderfull one 

[Bertie Horak]

Rhona, I wish you were just a l-i-i-i-ittle closer!  Would have loved to knock on your door too!  Will have to get sponsors for the next trip.  I found out Santa's sleigh is not cheep!
