Holiday in the Eastern Cape

In July we took two weeks leave and set off for a farm tour of the Eastern Cape, visiting family.
We started off in the Karoo, visiting Michael's uncle on his farm just outside Graaff-Reinet.
We then went on to my aunt and uncle's farm near Cathcart. It was lovely seeing family and James had a wonderful time.

Give him a stick and some sand and he's happy as can be...

All the cousins kids eating lunch together at the Cathcart farm - James, Becky, Anya, Luke and Kirsten



Cousin Jen was the local pony guide - Kirsten, Jen, Becky and Anya with Pegasus, the long suffering shetland pony




James also had a go, but didn't quite get the 'hold on' bit, so Michael had to tag along!
