This old, smiling man trundles into Tete everyday to sell his sticks! If he can smile about so can you!

Tete bridge at night....... All the "wrongs" are covered by the darkness and the night lights turn the "hardness" into "romance"......taken by a friend, Craig Vandeleur.

Things that are visible are brief and fleeting while things that are invisible are everlasting.

we buy cattle from the areas around Tete. They then have "a good life" for 3 months, and are sent to the companies abattoir in Chimoio, and back to Tete (and the rest of Mozambique) as a "good steak"..... this is a "before" picture!

read this the other day......" Get lost in the smells, sounds, and tastes of your whereabouts. Be aware of the here and now, and recognize that the only moment to be alive in is the present." we have so much going on around us, but the moment is now, BE in it!

  • I'm so out of my comfort zone....
    I've got some work going on in the inside, I'm trying to learn contentment in ALL things.... Not easy! Doing the "nice", ...
  • I have added a few km's to my daily walk, as feeling fitter and braver, but no doubt foolish too! I I have noticed "fresh" evidence of the forest Elephants, buffalo and wild cats but have never "bumped" into them, thank the Lord! In all my many months of walking, I can count on one hand when I see a vehicle. But today at about my 4km mark, a tractor that had been working in a cattle camp came towards me and waved me down. He frantically told me not to go any further as there was a herd of Buffaloes just around the corner! How amazing is God, I would have walked straight towards them quite oblivious. He then carried on down the road stopping and watching to see that I had understood his French!
    This is not my pic...
  • Wash-Day At The River - The Water-bearers by Jinge Norvall.... Here they come, Beautiful & laughing From dew-drop' t grasslands To the murmering river.. Here they come, Youthful, skipping, dancing Down the stoney bushpath To the sandy river' s early, crisp-cold morning. Water vessels held on high, Laundry baskets overflow... Babes on backs will bathe & play Whilst women work, gregariously... The sun has offered Hot & gold his shining, To warm the splash of bodies Brown & gleaming In the freshness of the river... Shimmering, the air vibrates with chatter, convivial hours joining hands To wile away the drudgery of duty... Bright cloth is spread on Bushel, tree & grass-tuft, Giving up its moisture In deference to the Lord of Day, the Sun... And now they go, Beautiful & laden Each one with bounty Free from Nature' s life-source. Backs straight against their burdens, Heads poised with balanced loads, The water-bearers leave a hush behind them... And as they toil back along the pathway, A sober silence settles all about them.. For chores await the women now returning - Each water-bearer knows that the water-bearer' s day is never done.

Now I am back in a slightly more "civilized" country....... far away from the wide open spaces and exciting daily adventures, but I can hope I can continue to show you the beauty from this very populated little Island, Mauritius, just a speck in the Indian Ocean....
