The Ryans

Hi there

This is the family. From left - Kevin, Genevieve, William and Georgina.

We live in Randburg South Africa.

Kevin works at Rand Merchant Bank, Genevieve teaches at Bellavista School, William is in matric at St Davids College (this was taken on the day of his matric dance - he is almost never this dressed up), and Georgina is in 2nd year at varsity in Stellenbosch studying PPE.


Genevieve and I recently relived our wedding 25 years ago by spending a weekend down in Stellenbosch at the Lanzerac Hotel - the same place we spent the first 2 nights of our honeymoon. It brought back some fond memories. This is the church in Groot Drakenstein where we were married - some oy you may even remember it.

We couldn't stay in the same room (Tommys room) as we had when we were first married, so we selected a standard room, but were upgraded free of charge by the Hotel to a suite which had a small enclosed garden and a swimming pool - too cold to swim though). The weather as you can see played ball, and although it was supposed to be not so good, it turned out to be superb.

We also had a chance to eat at some of those fancy restaurants in Franschhoek - and I can highly recommend La Quartier Francais.
