We are at “Drie Berge” Caravan Park just outside of Brits. Our first taste of life – long term – at a caravan park since we left Hazyview at the end of November last year. We researched this park well, read reviews and made our booking. We arrived here on Wednesday 1^st Feb to find the park virtually empty. We were received very well & were assisted to get the basic structure of our tent up.

Having packed everything up the previous day (it is a big and very taxing job) I was stiff and sore. In the heat of the day, carelessly dehydrated and soon suffering from a sugar-low, we had to put it all up again. I was in really bad shape. Many lessons were learned that will make all future moving much, much easier.

In time, everything was ship-shape and very comfortable.

Since Wednesday, we have relaxed and taken everything very slowly, taking in the beauty of the surroundings. This is a beautiful, well run & very quiet caravan park. 

We wondered how it would be over this weekend when we knew it would be full, almost to capacity. Well now we know.

It has remained quiet and peaceful with the ablutions well able to cope with all the people.

When we made our reservations, we were able to negotiate a very good rate because we are pensioners and are here for a relatively long stay.

Tomorrow, God willing, we will spend the day in Pretoria with Peter, Elaine & family as we celebrate Christy’s 14^th birthday. 

They plan to come and camp on the stand next to ours next weekend. That will be really super.

We also look forward to seeing Neil, Jeanine & family when they arrive from America in less than two weeks.

We are so aware of the goodness of God, who goes ahead of us, is with us and who blesses us all the time. May He bless you and those whom you love also.
