Watery Escape


To end my week, and to hopefully make the weekend happen a bit faster, here's a photo instead of a story!  The image of the wake streaming out behind the boat makes me feel very restless - can't wait to escape from the confines of civilisation, and disappear into the great watery world on our doorstep...

This weekend we're border hopping again -  this time over the river into Namibia...

More next week...

    Thanks so much for your kind words and warm thoughts about Arthur the Cat, and thanks also for listing The Bodhi Tree on your blog roll. I am touched by both gestures.
