At last ... we own the house

Yes it has taken a while, but we are there. Official owners of a wee piece of land and building in sunny Underberg!

The fun now really starts. Almost have the plans sorted for the renovation and extensions, hopefully completed by the end of this week. Then it is down to the Berg next week to get quotes and commission our builder. Spend spend spend!

'Life on the Road' to 'Life in the Berg'

So how does it happen? One minute life is an adventure filled with far flung places. A different story to told with every day started. Then suddenly, a house, and a different way of life. Well, to be honest, having a house again is an adventure for us. It has been a while, over 5 years now, since we last had a fixed location. Not to say that the travelling is over, just a time to get to grips with a new challenge, and keep the travelling to be our 'time out' from the hard grind of life at home!

Our new base will be in Underberg, KZN. Spitting distance from the fabulous Drakensberg mountains. A mere 600km from Joburg. A strange location? Not for us. We love it. Just like a 'little England', with mountains! See http://wooliesthruafrica.blogspot.com/2010/07/namibia-thailand-botswana-south-and.html for the how and why.

So, now a new blog to tell the tale of life in the 'village', and the development of our property. 'Woolies Thru Africa' will continue to tell the travelling story as and when the tales are there to be told.
