Green and Gold day

Today was named Green and Gold Day across the country to give support to the Springboks for their BIG match tomorrow.

I tried far too late to buy Springbok t-shirts for Bradley and Connor. All the shops and street hawkers were sold out by the time I went shopping, so Bradley ended up going to school in a green t-shirt with a SA flag sticker. It was the closest we could get.


This morning, after he got dressed, Bradley got hold of his new Springbok flag (which Lance bought earlier on in the week), and went running in the garden. This is the best photo I took, do you know how difficult it is to get a 4 year old to stand still and wave a flag? LOL!

It was amazing to see how many people wore green and gold today. The atmosphere in the office and in the streets was, in general, incredible. Hope they do well tomorrow.

Go Bokke Go!!

Well done on getting that shot - I've never tried to photograph a 4-year-old running around waving a flag, but I can only imagine! (I did try to photograph a couple of flags today, on their own, and that was hard enough...)

Wasn't it an awesome day? Tomorrow is just going to be fantastic, can't wait!
