One of many highlights of the trip so far has been spending time with two of our oldest friends, Craig and Marijke Reid. The four of us go back more than half a lifetime: they were with us the night we met (!) and we attended both of their 21sts. During our Uni days we went camping with them in Lesotho, Zimbabwe (not something we’d do now!) and the Drakensburg and ‘Craigie’ was a groomsman at our wedding. Needless to say, we did a lot of late night reminiscing around the kitchen table during our stay: listening to 80s music, enjoying the odd bottle of red, and even walking like Egyptians (a la Bangles) after a spot of routine deer stalking in the woods with the neighbour (as one tends to do in Surrey!). The little Reidbucks (Josh and Dan) and our two got on famously and the mix of different accents in the house was an auditory delight! We all miss the Reidbucks terribly, particularly Smokey Reid, the cat:)
