I was very fond of my cousins, Sue and Petra Swanepoel and spent lots of my free time with them. They lived at 4a Roux Street. This house was situated near the local golf course and opposite the Catholic Nursery Gardens. We loved spending time with the Catholic Priest who tended the gardens. As we had no local photographers in Bethlehem you went to them to have your photo's taken. They would hang a sheet onto the wall and we simply stood in frond of this whilst he took a photo. Now when I look at them I am highly amused but we thought we looked ever so smart when the photo was taken…
My Uncle At loved fishing. We would all cycle with him to the Dam where we would happily play and have a picnic whilst he fished all day. He actually caught plenty of fish. Another hobby was his racing pigeons. He spent hours preparing them for a race. The pigeons were taken far away and then released to fly home. A small ring was fastened to one leg. As soon as they arrived home this ring was removed and the time noted. We children were told to stay in the house so that we did not disturb them when they came to the loft.
