Personal Details

I love to spend time with my grandchild, Ruan. The best thing ever!!!!!

If I am not busy driving the Cost Engineers crazy, I love to work in the garden and just generally being in nature.

Actively involved in the Wholeness Centre of the Mosaïek Church.

And if that is not enough I have two very old Jack Russels Ladies at home, giving me all the love and affection in the world.

Guess what: "I am a Cheetah supporter!!!!" Always have been: always will be!
