As I mentioned in the last post I am trying to write regularly on this blog so as to keep you all up-to-date with what I have been doing recently.
Other than the continuing of the everyday sporting activities that I mentioned before such as tennis, netball and cycling I have also been continuing with the search engine optimization and online marketing work I mentioned. Not great fun, but necessary! I am now on page 2 of google if you search for “Photography tours Africa”!
The real excitement over the past 10 days though has been that I have just designed and built a new website for one of the businesses here in St Lucia. Trevor (English) and Tanja (German) are a couple that I first met last year during the World Cup celebrations. They have both lived in South Africa for many years now and he recently set up the St Lucia Surfing Academy. We were chatting about business one day the week before last and he mentioned that he had just set up a new project called “Get on top”, which is a surfing camp for kids that have lost their way. He was saying how he needed to get information to the schools he is targeting with this project so I asked whether he had a website. One thing lead to another and now he does…www.stluciasurfingacademy.co.za Please take a look at let me know what you reckon. Also if you know anyone who is keen to learn to surf, then please forward the site to them! Or, if you also want a website designed, just give me a shout!
On Tuesday evening this week the St Lucia Photography Club, that I set up, had our monthly get-together and we headed down to the Main Beach in St Lucia for sunset. It wasn’t the best sunset and since the coast faces east, the sun wasn’t actually setting there, but we managed to capture a few nice photos anyway. Here are a couple of mine and if you would like to see the rest then take a look at the facebook page St-Lucia-KZN-Photography-Club

So other than that, we have been without water for about 4-5 days over the past week, but apparently the problem has now been solved and we had a day without power too, but that is the price we pay for having the beauty of the beach and game reserve on our doorstep! No other real events to report on over the past 10 days, except that I took a set from Orla on the tennis court!
Tonight I am heading off for sundowners with the girls at a lodge part-owned by the netball coach, so that should be fun and then we will see what the weekend brings. To be honest I really fancy having a braai…
