Rob Dempster 'Allo 'Allo Gardens! (AAG) Howick (uMngeni) Ryan, Edith & Rob The Dove & the Sugar Bird & Home Sweet Home!!! 11 October 2025

So what is this about. Nothing really, and yet, everything!

Ryan will turn 18 years of age before the end of the year. During that time Edith and I have spent a lot of time together with Ryan. It has been a pleasure and a privileged.

We live in a two bedroomed unit in Protea Gardens (PG), a Sectional Title Complex built on was a Protea Farm. Since we arrived PGs four years ago the Proteas we planted have grown an flowered. The Sugar Birds that follow the Proteas also moved in, into a nest they built in a tree opposite our kitchen window. Several sets of chicks were fledged form the nests. A new nest is built for each clutch. More recently a pair of doves moved in, and fledged one chick.

The Sun Birds subsequently moved from their nesting site close to the back (kitchen/scullery) door, to a new nest site next to the front door. It is woven into the front door chime, effectively silencing it.

In closing two sunrise pics. The view from the patio is stunning, and there is always going to be another more spectacular sunrise. Edith's cycling outfit. Probably not beatable!!!
