See you in Cape Town?
Iza and I will be visiting South Africa soon. We leave London on Friday night and return early in the new year.
Previous visits have involved rushing from one individual/couple/household to another, trying to fit in as many of the local friend-clans as possible. This time we're spending most of our time travelling outside Cape Town, or with family, or both. We're hoping the clans can be persuaded to come to us. Can you?
Kirstenbosch gathering
On 31 December, probably for the whole afternoon, we plan to be in Kirstenbosch. If you're in Cape Town that day, it would be great to see you.
The idea is for it to be a completely fluid event, with people arriving and leaving whenever suits them during the time we're there. Hopefully we get a combination of a small group gathering and some individual time with everyone.
If you think you might make it and would like to be kept up to date on specific arrangements, weather contingency plans, etc, please email your contact details to me by Friday 16th (see below). Most helpful would be to get your SA cellphone number, because it'll be easiest to use SMS to stay in contact while we're in town.
