Hi, I’m writing because…

Well that was weird.
The last time I was on a plane we were skidding home from São Paulo moments before the world shut down.
This reminder of what a privilege it is to fly was not a bad thing.

After travelling for six months, I thought I might

After travelling for six months, I thought I might have ruined weekend getaways for myself - because how could two days ever feel like enough? But then lockdown. And a weekend away became the most magical thing. Especially because we could take Ellie along for the adventure.
She met a zebra (pretty intriguing) and some cows (NOT a fan, jislaaik) and enjoyed a plethora of creature smells and sounds, but it was an emu that absolutely blew. her. mind. 😂
She was so exhausted by the excitement of it all that she put herself to bed by 8pm last night. Done done.
My favourite was the bath. Ellie was skeptical. A bath is her least favourite activity. So she decided to check I really was ok in there.

I’m not actually sure if it’s possible to love

I’m not actually sure if it’s possible to love a dog more. It’s like living with a tiny little yawny badger who loves playing nun-nun in the curtains, guarding her ball, and is partial to a bit of a snuggle in the mornings. Other times too if you insist. Which we do. Hourly.

On these walks I see dassies, mountain reedbuck, sacred ibises, crowned cranes. And a little bit of magic that is harder to name, but easier to photograph.

Shall I tell you the recipe for sanity and salvation in these strange and difficult times (and all other times)?
Nature. Dogs. Walking. Sometimes very far. Friendships with phenomenal women.

I asked if I could take a photo of him and his passenger.
He said, “Just don’t put it in Scope, see.” 😂

A minus eight sunrise is a bit different. And so beautiful.

If you’re carrying anything - like a hat, for example - he wants to help. MUST help, in fact. Please! Please please please.
I eventually gave it to him and he was so proud. He carried it for kilometres home.

Sho, it makes me miss Ellie so much. Who would do none of this. 😂
Apparently she’s been lying at the front door a lot. Like she’s waiting for me.
