I must firstly apologise to all my readers, as I have not had much time to blog much in the last few weeks, or even to respond to some of the comments. Life has been rather hectic with the emigration plans.

Preparations for our emigration to the Netherlands has taken top priority, and our tickets are booked, and are making steady progress in sorting out our affairs here in South Africa before we leave.

Today though was the most difficult day of all so far. Noisette, our dog, will eventually join us in the Netherlands in several months time, but in the mean time she has to stay with my sister who lives on the other side of the country.

This morning we dropped her off at the airport travel agency, and as I type this she is on her way by plane to Durban. It was heartbreaking to have to part with her, since she does not understand that we will see her again in a few months.

We are going to miss her terribly, but, alas, this is a necessary step in getting ourselves over to the Netherlands. I look forward to seeing her excited reaction when she sees us again.
