And we did it! We escaped from our ghost town of a compound (we were the last Expat family still left there) and the heat (hovering just under 50 during the day and dropping to 40 overnights) and winged our way to sunny South Africa.
And boy is it sunny. The winter here is superb. Absolutely wonderful - cool crisp mornings, then the sun burning off the early frost and warming the day up so that jumpers become obsolete, then long afternoons as the sun slowly disappears and we gradually realise again that it's winter and time for jumpers again....
Bliss.
The only downside is that we are missing Darrell, who is still sweating in AD with only Bella (who doesn't come when she's called), Pearl (who barks at him when he gets home) and Sparkly (who wakes him at 3am to be let out) for company.
Please send him some sympathy!
