Me at 3 years old.
As it says this is supposed to be about me.......well here
goes......
I was born in South Arica in the city of Johannesburg on
the 3/1/56 at about 3:10 am.About 10 days later I was
adopted by my "parents".
To cut a long story short my Dad was a cattle rancher and
we (my Mom and younger sister and I)ended up in what
was then Southern Rhodesia which is now Zimbabwe.We ended up in a town called Masvingo. I did my junior schooling there
and then went to bording school in Gweru(Gwelo)where I
did my high schooling at Thornhill High.
Once I had finished all the schooling business(just
scrapping through..lol)I went to Witbank in South Africa
to take up nursing at the Witbank Hospital....going
between Witbank for practical and then Johannesburg for
the theory part of it.....
After a year there I transferred to Entumbeni Hospital in
Durban and spent another year there before going back to
Zimbabwe(Rhodesia)
Anyway in 1976 I met and married a portugese man and
had 3 kids who are now grown up and my daughter has
provided me with a beautiful grand-daughter.....
We are all living in Europe now.......I and my youngest son
in Portugal......my eldest son is in England and my
daughter and grand-daughter are in Ireland.....
Update: As from January 2002 I and my youngest son will
be returning to South Africa to live there....YIPPIE...I am
going home at last.Well I am in South Africa now living in
the beautiful windy city of Cape Town and so happy to be
back in Africa.
That is that for now I am going to try and put a few family
pic's here.A few pics of my kids and also Cape Town and
surrounding little towns
In May of 2006 I found my birth Mom and a whole new
family of 4 sister and 1 brother. Due to me finding
my birth Mom I lost my adopted sister and her kids as they
could not understand the need to find where I had come from
and what my blood roots were.But that is the way life
goes and we pick ourselves up and carry on
Me at 46 years young.
