Dream homes

We have recently put our house up for sale, and started looking at plans for a new home, as parents we look at numerous different things we want in or near a location, access to a good school, shopping, and extra curicular activities for the kids, but top of the list for us, was a safe area. But I find myself asking is there such a thing? In the last week I have heard about at least 3 people being killed in their homes!! Is there anywhere in our beautiful country that is truelly safe? So we find ourselves enclosed in high walls, electric fences, and burglar bars, prisoners in our homes, I wish that I could allow my girls to play and ride their bikes in the neighborhood like I and my friends used to when we were younger, but that dynamic just won't happen, I can't allow my kids out of my sight, for fear of all the horrible things out there! 

I did however find my dream home, it represents to me a true free South Africa, where we are "FREE" to be safe in our homes, hopefully one day I will build this home, and not be afraid to live in it
