Matt and Owen were the offical Firestarters of the camp site. Their special skill though was harassaing Calvin and Carl (Blondie and Wolverine) - from the Rheede family.
We all played some volleyball near the club house and watched some cricket. Someone picked up a baby kiewiet (plover) and when we went to the clubhouse, were feeding it Pronutro through a syringe.
Carl is a biokineticist working in Dubai coaching sheiks on golf courses, and Calvin is studying to be a CA. These guys are into snowboarding, wakeboarding, surfing, all the cool stuff. They offered to take me for a ski on their speedboat but we never got round to it.
The Rheedes and Thompson's meet every December holiday. We would have had dinner together except Villiersdorp was closed on New years Day so they went home and we went over the pass to Franschoek and Colcachio's.
