small in this lovely car, ha, ha. We had a whale of a time taking back roads into the country to a small town called Phelidelphia. It is so small that you are through it before you even enter it, but it is so pretty. Marthie took some lovely photo's of the coffee shop (outside) under the trees, where there were all kinds of little annimals. There was a beautifull cat who came to say good morning, visitors with some lovely little dogs, and the cute Rooster (I think we call them feather feet chickens) with his family of hens, and even a little chick following its mother.

She even stopped the car in the middle of knowwhere to take a photo of me talking to my son on the Cell phone in the car.
There is also a lovely photo of our beautifull landmark Table mountain, taken from a hill in the beautifull country side.
To our other cutie friends from Cape Town, next time I think we must all go together, I never laughed so much as we did. It was fantastic.
Thank you Marthie.
Love and Hugs to all. God bless
Marietta

Glad we could make you feel the warmth. We sometimes wish for some cold, as we even get hot days in winter.

Wow, talk about wide open spaces, and soo much sun shine. What country are you in? Here in Vancouver Canada while it is not too cold and no snow it is very cloudy and grey. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Denice:
Where in Vancouver do you live? I am in Surrey, maybe we are neighbours.

by marietta 06 Feb 2010

Hi Denice we are in Cape Town, South Africa, and we love it. We do not know Snow down here. It is even nice and sunny in winter, although it can rain quite hard in winter.

by denice 07 Feb 2010

Jerrib, I am right in Vancouver proper but in the wide web world we really are neighbours.
Marietta I had thought you might be in South Africa but then the photos look like parts of the America mid-west.
