We're a South African family of 8 living in Beautiful British Columbia, Canada. This is a peek into our lives.
Im glad you did this! I liked reading it. Im scared to get up infront of people too. I tried skateboarding and never got the hang of it (maybe I started to old, I was 17). Too funny about naming your teddy bear Patrick :o) I never thought about how cruel birds in cages are! Very true though.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting! We have much in common (though I could never be a vegetarian!). I'll have to try this!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to be a veterinarian too ~ until I thought about the medical aspect ;-) (I just wanted my dream farm full of animals to care for... working on it! tho' it's my hubby & kids who do the chores outside...)
ReplyDeleteFelicity,
ReplyDeleteThat was really interesting - well done :D I'm in awe of people who are truly bi-lingual (or more!)
