Both L'Usband and I freelance - which makes spontaneous road trips possible. The kind where you muse at about 7 pm on Sunday night: "Jeez, wouldn't it be lovely to spend a week in the Karoo?", then look at one another, gleefully say: "Let's go!" and leave early the next morning. No planning, no bookings. Just get in the car and go. That makes me happy.
Lovely Lisa of curious girl is hosting a Happy Week - so from Monday to Saturday we will be posting things that make us happy. Have a look at her blog to see other participants.
PS Spontaneous road trips notwithstanding, I am also happy to be back - I have missed all you beautiful people!

I missed you too! Wonderful photos of you trip!
oh that is so happy!!!
Oh, oh, oh - spontaneous road trips are the best kind!! And what BEAUTIFUL pictures! I love the misty mountains, the one of the reservoir with the windmill in scrubby landscape (SO evocative of the Karoo) and that abstracty sky and branches one at the very bottom left - gorgeous. Just gorgeous. I'm happier just seeing the photographs, so I can imagine how happy this trip must have made you.
I'm also very happy that you're back...
Yes, spontaneous trips must be soooo much fun! My hubby has his diary mapped out for weeks in advance, so it's not something we get to do! [I am not complaining about the planned trips though. I do enjoy those too!]
oooh! I too love a spontaneous road trip! fun, fun adventure!
Spontaneous road trips are also essential for happy living! :D
I MISSED you so much! glad that you are back and that you had a happy time- happy enough for happy week- I would have liked to participate but am too happy with my happiness and tend to become a bit silly over it all AND a bit twisted - like my happiness over a dead chicken so I could have a good dinner, i would miss the point of Happiness week I am afraid.
The landscape looks so much like where i grew up in Wyoming! Beautifully scruffy.Love your photos. Glad you are back.
