Marc and Jean
Jean and I (Marc) have been married for nearly 40 years. We live in Makhanda (Grahamstown), a small University town about 175km south of the log cabin. Our careers spanned all grades of education, from pre-primary to University level. Initially, just after we moved to Grahamstown in the eighties we lived on a small holding called Mistywoods about 10km from town for 11 years. There we kept sheep, pigs and chickens, and had a vegetable patch. We have two daughters, Dominique and Sarah, who now have their own families and live in Kwelera and Cape Town respectively.
Simon
Simon will introduce himself in due course, but he is the chief builder of the log cabin. He was an ex-pupil of mine nearly 35 years ago. He is in the process of re-skilling himself as a timber house builder and only recently completed a log building course in the Wilderness (see reference to this course under the Resources tab). He jumped at the idea of being intricately involved in his first log cabin project and fulfilling our log cabin dream.
