GREAT SONG BY NICK MULVEY

Cause the very thing you're afraid, afraid of
It keeps you clean but unclear
Clean but unclear
Is the dirt that you're made, you're made of
And that's nothing to fear
No, it's nothing my dear

ROADTRIP TO NAM, ZAM, BOTS

We've just completed 6400 kilometres with our Subaru Forester through Namibia, Zambia and Botswana. Wow, what a journey that was! Here are a few photos...

HAPPY 2019!

Here's to many more adventures this year! Since buying our second-hand Subaru, we've been able to see so many more place in South Africa. I find this poem by Gary Snyder really fitting for the year ahead:

The rising hills, the slopes,
of statistics
lie before us,
the steep climb
of everything, going up,
up, as we all
go down.

In the next century
or the one beyond that,
they say,
are valleys, pastures,
we can meet there in peace
if we make it.

To climb these coming crests
one word to you, to
you and your children:

stay together
learn the flowers
go light

~ Gary Snyder
