I have enjoyed your posts, especially on homesteading, as this is one of my dreams. I want to know more; are you in South Africa? (It sounds and looks like it, what fantastic landscapes.) How did you get to Philly (which is what us Americans call Philadelphia) for Hannukah? Do you have family there? Is this another Philly? (Ah, ignorant Americans, gotta tell us everything, sorry!)
ReplyDeleteI found you on the Waldorf homeschooling list, we use Melisa's curriculum as well, love it!
Thanks. It's quite exciting getting a comment as I am still new to this. Yes, we are in South Africa where we also have a Philadelphia.
