Welcoming committee

Some fun always happens at De Oude Huize Yard 

Hennie kept himself busy making the welcoming committee.  

Everything was regenerated 

You have to love this 

Two pieces of sand stone
Some facial features were added
The finale was the headgear
An old grinding disk and some left-over caps 

The old wooden fence post came in handy for the bodies
Pieces of left over electrical conduit was used for the arms and legs

A set of feet to stand solid and face the world 

More delicate little feet to "steel" the heart 

A rose for charm 

A Little piece of music

This history as told by the hosts of De Oude Huize Yard 

The foundation stone of the St Peters Anglican Church was laid on 19 February 1906 by HRH Arthur William Patrick Albert, the Duke of Connaught, & son of Queen Victoria, whom was in Harrismith at the time to inspect the garrison. 

The porch & belfry was added in 1923.
The original cornerstone was laid in 1874.
It is a beautiful building.

Please join me for a walk in the gardens and church.
