Our return to Middleburg held some interesting surprises for us and the kids of the Dianne Lang Foundation. It started to snow! For the first time in about three years snow fell in the town of Middleburg, starting as gentle snow flakes that accompanied the rain and building up to leave a white sheet over the dusty town. This was my first experience of snow in South Africa, but the next day the sun was out and by midday not a trace of white was left. Our timing was brilliant and it made for some great footage for our documentary!
Streets that hours before had looked dull with bare trees ravaged by frosty winter mornings soon looked fitted for a winter snow globe.
Of course Paula's car had to be christened!
One of the first snow flakes to fall, much to our excitement and all of the kids in the carehouse, some of which were seeing snow for the very first time.

Wow! That surely does not look like the Middleburg I know...hope you had a good snow ball fight! :)
What did the one snow man say to the other snow man? :P
I really love the stop sign pic... still can't believe it happened.
It last snowed in Middelburg in July 2004! Not as heavy as you experienced - must have been beautiful...& we are going river rafting on 29 October near Middelburg....sure it will be the extreme heat by then! Dad
