Street music fest in its 4th year

The Richmond Hill Music Festival is blooming and the hard work of the Alliance Francaise rewarded.
    This year the streets were even more alive with anything from clowns to koeksisters and classical!



Artists were at work from dawn into the night in front of the Alliance

A new coat for the Verandah ... and calamity!

Just as I was in my element with the result of six weeks of work on our house, workmen came today to dig a "communications" trench.



A fine dust has settled on the stoep and the border walls. Thus the application of nearly 25 litres of "long-life" paint with the alluring name of "Night Jewels" (tones 3 and 5) does not have a very fresh effect.

 I am particularly happy with the addition of the pillar being erected on the left  side of our boundary wall.  It was a job that begged for attention since the pevious century.   
The foreman has promised that his team will wash the walls down once the job is done.
