Solid peace revealed!

Can you believe that peace lies hidden here in this setting?

The one house called me to tell you his story, as there are a few houses and even a lodge for visitors on the wine farm. But this one house stood out for me and I will show you the reasons in the photos below.
Come and have a look.

Looks almost like any other house, although I loved the open balcony and the big glass upper windows. They were there for a reason.

Imagine waking up to this view? No traffic, no people, no shopping centers and only you and nature.

Not good enough for you? Then imagine this view?

Still not good enough? Then I ask of you, how can you beat this view?

And to beat it all, this is at the main entrance to your house?

I can agree that we all have different ideas of peace, but my own peace is found in nature and silence. The silence in nature is a different kind, as one can hear birdsong and the whispers of the wind, but it is not a silence that exists in our concrete jungles.

It stirs one to have a deeper look into the self and to discover our real selves. I can tell you that I will be dead happy if I could live here in a tin shack, or a small cabin forever. This is where the real peace of nature can meet with the peace that rests in our hearts.

Just my own thoughts here and what do you think about this?

And That's All Friends!

Note: All photos are my own and taken with a Canon Powershot SX60HS Bridge camera.

We hope that you have enjoyed the story and the pictures.

Wonderful. It looks like a place to go and live rather than to go and see.

Thank you and that is my exact thought my friend.
But we will continue searching until we can fond a cottage on a farm again.

Anywhere quiet I do think the noise levels in life today unsettles most of us. Booby prize is living close enough to go visit, dream, imagine living in a peace filled world.

Hahaha, I love your explanation of a Booby prize Lady Joan.
Maybe that's why my eldest has moved to the UK 🤣
Yeah, one can only dream of a peaceful world my friend.

Many children are venturing to yonder shores in the hope of a fair innings, tired of the BBEEE BS, my youngest has decided enough is enough and he too will possibly be making the move.

All anyone wants is a fair innings in life!

Yes it is tough and sad not knowing that as a parent you might never see them again, but I have encouraged them to go and they have my full support Lady Joan.
My two grandchildren are very talented and now they have a future.

My sister's son is in Switzerland and he is a doctor, he visited her a week ago with his Swedish wife who is also a doctor and they also have a solid future.
That's what it's all about as it is every parents duty to ensure a future for their children and I know that you will back your youngest son.

As parents we have sown the seeds and we can only hope that it will grow and blossom.
So yes, I am happy.

Blessings and !LUV

Absolutely no use standing in the way of decision making, old enough to think for themselves, I taught them to do exactly that and can only wish them well.

No grandchildren, just their little cat being micro-chipped, inoculated in preparation, a tough time to make the move, however one will never be happy if one does not try.

Most people we know have children who have moved already, will miss them however we all only have one life to live to the full.

!LUV hope the weather has taken another path and not devastating your region.

You did right by them and my lot is also inedpendent.

It is indeed a tough time to move, but the doors were openened for mine even with the Covid restrictions. However it cost them a bomb for the 14 days quarantine in the UK hotel.
Maybe the cat will also be placed in quarantine with them.

The sad thing is that many children simply dump their parents and the poor lonely souls die in the old age homes with the photos of their children all around their rooms.
I will never end up like this.

Aleady raining heavily in other areas, but only a soft drizzle here so far. I hope that it fills the dams, as we always need water, so I keep a close eye on the dam levels.

Cheers, !LUV and !BEER

Not sure how this will all pan out for them they do have family and friends on the other side. Their plan is NZ with possible options to obtain work, as they said they will never be rich, but would be happy!

Who knows what tomorrow brings, for us our home is paid, for now putting up with noise factor and other aggravations is the only path at the moment...

Hang on tight if you venture outside, hopefully this will reach EC where rains are desperately needed.

My daughter's head office is in the UK and they are delighted to have here over there. Her husband is a senior project manager and he got a job there before they moved, so all seems to be fine at this stage of their venture.

NZ is indeed a great place to move to and I heard talk that half of NZ is now South African, so I am sure that they will fit in there. We can only hope my friend.

Yes, we also have no debt, but things have become so pricey that we are squeezed every month end. Luckily we are used to it and make do.

We are lucky thus far in the storm, as there are much damages elsewhere and even big hail stones.
Such is life.

Blessings.

Inflation is spiraling if not watched will be completely out of control, fortunately we were taught how to make things go that little further.

My husband visited his sister in NZ, I have never been, younger generation will have to learn on the go we cannot do it for them.

Storms ferocity has done damage in some areas, sadly always those living like sardines, again throw open borders, over population, no control or infrastructure, lots of empty promises....

Way, I have missed this one and apologize.

Yes, we also live very lean, as in my mind it's the only way to survive. Not stingy mind you, but always within reason.

So Is your husband's sister still around in NZ, as she might be available to help them settle in?

Our case is more the migration from the EC as they arrive in loaded buses every day. All of a sudden there's thousands of new children every year looking for places in full schools.
Of course it is all extra votes during elections.
