Springs Boys High School. This is where Garreth attended High School (grade 8 to grade 12)
This was the first home George and I purchased. 14 Cactus Street, Nigel.
Our home in Selcourt, 10 Willoughby Rd. We had just replaced the children's bathroom and then we moved to America. We did not have the opportunity to enjoy the fruits of our labors.
Nigel Primary School's Kindergarten class where Renata Stefani and I taught. Looks very different, although they have the same playground equipment we purchased. We had colourful disney characters painted on the classroom walls. My classroom theme was 'The Bears Lair' , the spare classroom was 'The Mouse House' and Renata's classroom was 'The Lions Den'.
All my children went to Nigel Primary School (grade 1 to grade 7). Funny because it is the same school I went to (grade 2 to grade 7). I met my lifelong friends Eileen (in 2nd grade) and Bonny (in 3rd grade).
It was in this park in Selcourt that Samantha was riding a quad when she had an accident that frightened the heck out of me and her dad. Garreth proved to be a hero that day when he jumped over the fence of the home of friends, t0 use their telephone (these were the days before every child owned a cell). He called an ambulance and then he called George. We were on our way to Johannesburg when we received the call. It was the only time I didn't complain at George for speeding. All those who know me will thing this funny:)
Sam and Cindy said that this slide in Nigel had 'shrunk' from when they had gone down it as children.
The nature reserve in Nigel where they kept ducks, ostrich, springbuck, and flamingo's.
The mill in Nigel.

We didn't go to church, which is very unusual, because S.A. wards and branches had general conference which we had seen the week before. So feeling like a fish out of water, we spent the day reminiscing by visiting places from the past. Later on Sunday afternoon Charleen and Sias envited us to a "braai". Delicious, especially the borewors, potjiebread, and desserts.
I enjoyed seeing all your photos. Hope you enjoyed your trip and I wish we could of seen more of your family.
ReplyDeleteStunning to see the old Nigel house again. I have such good memories of visiting you there! Especially Sunday afternoons swimming and braais.
ReplyDeleteNigel Primary, we basically all went there as kids! Nice to see the homes again ... the town centre looks pretty lousy though, didn't looked like that when we lived there. Was always neat and tidy and now just plain disgusting! Good memories were made there .... and all your kids!
