Today, we hiked along the River Walk in the North West part of Silvermine Reserve. It was an estimated 6km, with an elevation of 150m. Except for the safe warmth of a really good friend [she knows who she is], there is nothing quite like the combination of nature, exercise, and the banter of fellow hikers to soothe a wounded soul. It was quite dark along the river bed, and during the latter part of the hike it poured. Here is a photograph of a waterfall which we passed:
Here are some pictures of some of my fellow hikers:
Afterwards, some of us went through to Noordhoek Farm Village, where we stopped off for coffee at The Toad. Wrapping one's hands around a warm cuppa when one is still dripping water from one's hair is such a good feeling!
Healing the soul is something only a friend can do. I am sure she is/was with you all the way just as your thoughts were with her :-)
