I lived in Rosettenville ( High Street ), Regents Park ( Augusta RD ), Kenilworth ( Fraisier Street ) and Malvern, From 1974 to 1986 and things have really changed in Geranium street and Main street. I went to the Rosettenville Junior School and Rosettenville Central Primary School. In 1987 I moved to Portugal ( Viana do Castelo ) and now I live in France. Is Rosettenville relatively safe nowadays, for I heard that it was invaded bu druggies and prostitutes. I really spent a magnificent childhood there and one day I'd like to return there to show it to my wife and my two children.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-54478226923091680092008-07-30T17:37:00.001-05:002008-07-30T17:37:00.001-05:00...oh and the haunted house?

I guess that's a good thing. Enjoyed your photo tour.Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12533075034458645148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-13619706313242848022008-07-30T12:07:00.000-05:002008-07-30T12:07:00.000-05:00I am so enjoying your posts and pictures.

Your trip back home sounds like it was amazing. <BR/><BR/>I was introduced to Portuguese food when I lived in CA. I fell absolutely in love with it! I have missed it since we moved to TX but your recipes are wonderful and oh so yummy to make.

I am from NJ but here is where I discovered this delight. We have some Portuguese in Hawaii and they own these bakeries and malasadas are their specialty. <BR/><BR/>What beautiful views. Your parents have such a nice view from their backyard. I am so envious. I would love to be able to go here. My hubby has always been fascinated by South Africa so he is really enjoying your pictures. <BR/><BR/>Is that Curt on guitar hero on WII? I was wondering if this game was good. My son plays it at the teen center on post, but I don't know what it is like on the WII.<BR/><BR/>Jasmine's hair is adorable. Very chic. It makes her look a little grown up. <BR/><BR/>That place Steers looks very inviting, kind of like something out of the 50's, but modern. I wish we still had places like this. It seems like South Africa has moved at a much better pace then the US. <BR/><BR/>I absolutely love the little walls and gates they put in front, it sounds like these are for safety purposes but I like the bit of privacy they offer. I must tell you I am a little OCD about safety and loved to be closed in in my little back yard. I have no idea why this is. <BR/><BR/>Are these houses the ones that sparked your interest in haunted houses? You know I have the same interest in this stuff that you do. We have what they call the choking ghost in Hawaii or menahune is that like the one that choked you? <BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing these bits and pieces of your trip. I hope you get to go back since I am benefiting from getting a glimpse at South Africa from a personal view.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06153847712814391815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-50435415502177932172008-07-29T12:30:00.000-05:002008-07-29T12:30:00.000-05:00I do love Jasmine's haircut!

I haven't been back to my childhood neighborhood in Long Island, NY since I was 16, and I'd love to go back and see what it is like now, though I imagine the visit wouldn't all be positive.<BR/><BR/>Those bakery goodies look to die for.

I've had a few enchantments broken too, and I know how it can really sadden a person. I hope you hold on to the happy golden glow of memories long past, and don't let these hallow changed images ghost what brings such joy to your heart.<BR/><BR/>*HUGS*Jillinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13626511940728714371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-61692652073280003932008-07-28T21:02:00.000-05:002008-07-28T21:02:00.000-05:00Hi Sandra,I love seeing your pictures , I hope to ...Hi Sandra,I love seeing your pictures , I hope to go back there one day.have a great day.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18103446089299198799noreply@blogger.com
