Hahaha, Marian has given some of the strwaberries to the elderly residents here and they are over the moon with it.

Oh yes, that empty restaurant had that reversal of time effect on me. Everything in it is genuine and that enamel jug and cups must have slaked the thirst of thousands of souls in the past. A real spooky, but peaceful silence soothed my soul.

Yes, I know that it was a worldwide scene at the time as people from many European countries settled here in South Africa. Our neighboring countries such as Namibia for instance, that was called South West Africa at the time was swamped by German residents.

Cheers and thanks.

Ps. For some reason my second post yesterday and today has dropped alarmingly in value and I cannot find the reason.

My pleasure Zac 😀

I like this old restaurant somehow, it's so much different from nowadays and these things have certainly seen a lot. The only thing that doesn't suit in this room is the smartphone on the table 😄

Yes it is very different and anchored in the long ago past.

Hahaha, now I don't know if you are going to believe me, but it's the truth Hannes.
Until you mentioned it I didn't even see that phone on the table. My attention was more on the things on the walls. It must belong to the lady that was cleaning there.

The dining room is below an upper room, as in the old days they built all of the barns with upper floors and windows in the roofs, so I only wonder what views a person could have through the windows up there.

Cheers and thanks.

This happens often to me, Zac, when I come home I see things in my photos which I didn't recognize when I took them. Just like the green aphid im my last post, although it was quite big. Maybe I have thought it's just a leaf ;)

Trees and fields, hills, mountains - the views must have been or still be beautiful, I can imagine.

Ouch, I almost missed this one.

Oh yes, it's always nice to make a discovery like that. It also often happens to me, but I don't right now have an example to show you.

To me it just shows how small and insignificant we are as human beings. Those mountains have stood for thousands of years and we cannot even make 100 years, then we are gone like we never existed.

Cheers and thanks.

We are only humans, and for the mountain 10,000 years might be as long as 100 years for us 😄

Agreed and they say that with God 10,000 years is one day.
So our 100 years might be only a split second, or even less.
Scary when one thinks about it.

Cheers and thanks.

A midget lives about 7 days - transferred to humans this could mean they live 10 years per day :)
