A Spekboom by any other name...

Monday 8th January was our second wedding anniversary. We started the tradition last year of planting a tree each year on our anniversary. Last year we planted an indigenous tree in our garden in PMB, this year we have planted a spekboom (who we loving refer to as ‘spekboom’) in our garden in Atamelang.
Spekboom is a cutting from a spekboom plant in David and Leesa’s garden, which is originally a cutting from Michael’s mom’s family farm in the Karoo. So we like to think Spekboom is in familiar soil and comfortable under the blazing North West sun, he’s not so sure yet, but we think he’ll come around…

Congratulations!

Megan and I celebrate 13 years on the 29th of January. All the best marriages take place in January!

Planting a tree is a wonderful idea. I just wonder what you would do if somehow (not likely in the MCSA) you managed to stay in the same Church for 20 years. You would have a lovely wooded garden.

On another note, wouldn't it be great to go back to all the places where you planted trees a couple of years down the line and remember how they (and you) have grown?

Bless you friends.
