Three Clay Friends

On the way down to the beach last month we stopped overlooking the Sterkfontein Dam. I remember it was a very windy day and there were 2 hawkers plying their trade at the tourist stop. Because it was so windy, not many tourists were stopping, Lynda felt sorry for the 2 hawkers, and bought these 3 clay animals, a porcupine, an elephant, and a warthog.

Still to this day we haven’t found an ideal place for them but in the meantime, these 3 clay friends live on top of the bar along with the TARDIS from my birthday cake. We don't have names for them yet, so their naming is now open to my readers.

Hogs at work

After a lovely evening of sitting under the stars watching for meteorites we headed for bed for a good night's sleep. In the morning after breakfast we all headed up to the small pools in the Weikloof where the boys plus Andre played in what we called the Jacuzzi. We enjoyed climbing up and down all the fascinating rock formations in the area. But our time was coming to an end so we had to head back. On arriving back we caught a family of warthogs raiding the campsite and eating anything they could find. The father and mother with their four offspring were quite sufficient in smelling out all the tasty treats left at camp while the owners were out hiking. Here you can see mum and three of the baby hogs making a get away from the stand next to ours after being surprised by us.
