The first introductions

Lets start with the introductions before we jump in get going with the real work of telling our story to anybody who might want to listen.

My name is George. I am 38 years old and have been married to Celeste for almost 19 years. We have 2 children, Lisa (18) and Jared (15). We are outdoor people and have spent many week ends in and around the area on fantastic and "not so fantastic" week ends. My hope is that we can share our experiences with people out there to encourage them to get out of the house and into the world.

Living in a small town like Burgersfort can be good but can also be very bad. The fact we live, work, party and do just about everything else together can lead to some serious tension and bad friendships. This was one of the main reasons that we decided that getting out of town when ever we can will be the best solution.

Lets go back about 3 years when i first moved to Burgersfort to start my new job on the mine. We left Kempton park and arrived in Burgersfort at 11 at night with the moving truck. The kids were not impressed with the town and it took a long while to get them to understand that things will get better. Luckily things did. We met new people, started seeing the area for what it was and slowly but surely started getting used to the small town life and the fact that you do not have much of a choice when it comes to shopping.

3 years later things have changed dramatically and even the kids admit that it was a good move. You will get to see that i am a HUGE Land Rover fan and we recently purchased a Defender 110. This is our wagon on our travels and you will see it often in our pics. We are not very particular when it comes to what we do and where we go but i do try to be honest about the places and the people. If anybody should read this and feel offended, then please click the "X" in the top right hand corner and go back to knitting or what ever you want to do.

Please also feel free to leave comments and suggestions. If you know of places we can go and experiences you have had, please tell us all. I will try to get our experience across in the best way i can and would love to get to meet new people and places, so please let us know.

we will start to get the word out that holidays do not have to be expensive but can be enjoyed by anybody if you put your heart into it.

Thank you for reading so far and please come back often and share our times with us.

Cheers and safe travels

George and Celeste
