Wed. 15th May 2013 As we leave Swakopmund there is still sand all around us and as we look at the road it does not seem to be either tarmac or dirt. The answer was it is salt and it …
Day 274: Never Assume
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/DSC03348_thumb.jpg
Tues. 14th May 2013 One of my little pet mottos is “never assume”. Sadly, that doesn’t prevent me from falling into that trap every now and again. Just because it has been sunny and (very) hot every day since we …
