So What�s New?

Amazingly, a gent sped past us through one of the pools in which we were stuck, emerged at the other side, stopped, got out grabbed a shovel and came back to help us out. And then explained that on such a bad road, it is necessary to drive dirty, get the revs going and drive like mad.

A lovely man and such a joy to experience something of the good old days which can now seem so far away. With you it may be different but during those long dry months – no, I am not referring to the levy – I have cared lovingly for my various plants, given them water – by bucket, of course – have talked with them, encouraged them and asked if they are okay– all without response. But come that wonderful rain, and they are all instantly on the move, leafing, flowering, rejoicing. It is one of our annual miracles, always to be relished. But what else has been new?
