As we started drifting off to sleep deep in the night after a delightful day with Chantal and Ian yesterday, I had an idea. “Would you like a turn of writing the blog?” I said to Paul.
“I could do that!”… 
“She makes my heart make an extra beat when she smiles at me.” It was the perfect statement to round up a perfect day. Niklas adores Taryn, and she adores him right back. The way they look at each other, sometimes just a sideways glance and other times she leaps into his arms with her big beautiful smile and kisses him. … 
“By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes, where the sun shines on Loch Lomond, Where me and my true love spent many days On the banks of Loch Lomond…” (imagine me singing that with an incredible voice and a gorgeous Scottish accent trailing off into the distance before the lyrics turn too sad to suit this blog post)

In no time at all they were best of friends and planning to leave South Africa to start their lives together in New Zealand.…
