Family life by Jenniflower
Growing up in Johannesburg was lovely.Though living in a single-parent home, we had all our needs taken care of, were (and still are) a very close family, and have a fabulous mother who brought us up.
We used to spend a lot of time at home, or at friends or other family homes. That's something I love about South Africa, the hospitality
Things are more family-focussed and -centred. Material possessions are not important, family is. (Of course, not all family's are like this, ours was/is though).
Afternoons were spent splashing in the swimming pool or playing rounders in the garden, making forts in the dining room under the dining room table, and 'camping' in the garden (never mind the parktown prawns!). Playing on the foofy slide on the lawn or trying to play cricket.
Wouldn't change it for anything :)
