Franschhoek

You mist have heard me thinking earlier.

SO GLAD you have "landed" safely.

Wine region... Oh My !! I was converted to SA wines nearly 30 years ago... drool.

Glad you are "home" Paul..... is your email same as was ... message me please.

Hi Pam - thank you! Yes, same email as before - a relief to finally be here!!

great looking place to work, congrats, well done collage

Thanks!

This is really beautiful and I am so pleased for you. Fantastic looking place.

Thanks Jan!

Very beautiful village to work and live - in the middle of a wine region and also not too far from a big city, what more could you ask for?

Absolutely!;0))

Ich wünsche Dir einen guten Start an diesem schönen Ort!

Danke Chrissy!

Looks a terrific place to live Paul ... here's wishing you well in your new home and with the new job too! :)

Thanks so much Paul!

Best wishes for your (French) corner!

Thank you - yes, it was started by the French Huguenots in the early 1800's. ;0)

such a nice place, it does look like a French corner! Hope you will have a fine time there!

Thanks so much Luc!

You indeed end into very wonderful place! Beautiful pictures =)

And I understood you also got a job, which is absolutely great news.

Yes, thanks Sami!

What a delightful looking place, I do hope you've landed on your feet . . .

Holding thumbs!! ;0)

Congrats on your new job, Paul! And you have given us a lovely taste of the place you will work! I want to see more of this town ;-)

Thanks Val - I should actually upload these pics individually as a great deal is lost in the collage.

Now that is the way to land on one's feet in a new area. It's beautiful for so many reasons, but I will admit to the SA wines be a very good one. The views and architecture make for a very charming spot and to think that you will be able to enjoy all of this and with a new job as well. I know that job will lift a great deal of stress of your thoughts. :) I am very happy to know that you have found such a lovely area to call home Paul. Look forward to seeing more images of this area as you settle in. :) Bravo

Thanks Chris - stress levels are still pretty high, until I have a place of my own - my dogs suddenly went crazy over the weekend and decided they didn't like my brother's poor baby, so there is a strict quarantine section downstairs, until we can get things back to normal - hopefully, this too shall pass!

Oh dear, let's hope you can bring that stress level down .. not only for you but the dogs as well, they must be rather confused with their new surroundings. Good that you have a place to let them be rather than around a baby. Honestly, there is nothing easy about making a move ... so good of your brother to help you ... this area sounds much more open to opportunities for you. :)

Interesting composition of wider angle with close-ups. I did find it a bit cluttered but also fascinating to figure out where some items start and some end.

I know, I'm not crazy about the collage, but wanted to get as many pictures in as I could.

Looks like a lovely place to live and work. WIshing all the best with your new job.

Thanks so much Harriet

Gorgeous presentation, went there many years ago. Such wonderful Cape Dutch architecture

Thanks Gillian - glad you know this beautiful area!

How lucky you are to live and work there

yippie, yippie.. congratulations Paul!
This is beautiful.. everything is so 'white' and clean!

Yes Wendi, that's what I kept on saying - everything is so clean and "un- South African" - a wonderful part of the world.

What a beautiful building. You found a lovely spot to teach.

Thanks Esther!
