Share Your World 23 October 2017

Here are my answers to this week’s Share Your World from Cee

Was school easy or difficult for you? How so?

In the beginning school was a challenge.  I was a year younger than my classmates and I believe that’s where the trouble began.  However, after repeating Grade 2 things improved and I coped reasonably well for the rest of my school career – no prizes for brilliance though!

List some of your favorite types of animals

I love wild birds and animals.   My favourites change from time to time.  Right now I’m preparing for a visit Kruger National Park and these are the animals that always give me a big thrill when I see them.

  • Leopard
  • Lion
  • Cheetah
  • Wild Dog
  • Hyena
  • Giraffe
  • Honey Badger
  • Martial Eagle
  • Lilac breasted roller
  • Woodland’s Kingfisher
  • And all the others will bring me joy of course

What is your favorite large city you have been to? What is the one thing you remember most?

Next to city where I was born – Cape Town – Sydney, Australia is my favourite.   There is nothing I don’t like about it.   The Sydney Harbour Bridge and The Opera House are really stunning landmarks.   Too many memories to single out just one.   Maybe a ride in a beach buggy from our Air B&B to Bondi Beach was an unusual and memorable occasion

What inspired you or what did you appreciate this past week?  Feel free to use a quote, a photo, a story, or even a combination. 

I realise that my mind is not as sharp as it used to be but I appreciate that I’m still okay!

  1. Enjoy your visit to Kruger, am so jealous. I normally visit annually but just didn’t have time this year. You live in a beautiful part of the world, was there in September.
