aaaaahhhhhh :smileyheaI’m very proud the MSG’s agreed to become the MSF

Just a little personal note. Over the Christmas period, I surprised the MSG by proposing via a Scrabble set on the top of Table Mountain at sunset (setting up the letters took a lot of pre-planning). And I’m more than delighted to say, she said yes and has become the MSF.
