Its taken me a while to post this one but I couldn't not do a blog about the departure last month of a CCF legend....the mighty Cheri Morkel. Cheri is of to the big lights of Windhoek where she'll be working at a veterinary clinic there. However, at this very moment she is in the states meeting up with Leigh and has by now probably eaten half of the USA's chocolate supply and gained another Morkel in weight (yes you can use a Morkel as measurement of weight as well).
So Cheri requested a country hoe down for her farewell bash and wanted to have it in our barn, so we could have a proper barn dance! However, we were never going to be given the OK for that so I did my best and transformed our visitor centre into a barn complete with two tractors parked outside.
Many people thought I was mad but it was worth it as lil Cheri loved it and the scene was set for barn stopin' hootanany! A great night was had eating great food of the braii and dancing long into the night to country classics such as 'Achey Breaky Heart' and 'Cotten Eye Joe' :)
The Morkel will be greatly missed but her legend will continue especially with the installation of the Morkel meter, which is now the most common way of measuring things at CCF. We all wish her well for her new life in the city and hope its not too long until we can meet up again :)
