Lichen or Seaweed?

There's been a ghost in the machine again and I haven't been able to blog for a week. I'm hoping that it's been exorsised. I caught up briefly with Freshly Found and found this post on lichens. Denise has such a talent for spotting the little things. Funny enough on my trip to the Wild Coast in April it was one of the things I noticed as well. Amazing how much a tree trunk can resemble a reef.

I suppose the humidity has something to do with it. Have a great weekend.

Roadtrippen

One of the first stops on our trip was the Port Alfred Coffee Shoppe along the R72. Stocked with lots of local produce and craft it also serves a descent cuppa.


When last have you seen pumpkins and cabbages looking this gorgeous and at this price?

Cows & bicycles

While I lost myself in a world without electronic media, reading Barbara Kingsolvers 'Animal,Vegetable, Miracle' ; hiking, fishing, napping - as one does on a fabulously long holiday, the world without me, went to pots.

It seems nobody has yet managed to win the Zim elections, BA have seperated 28000 pieces of luggage (4 of which should have been on holiday with us) from their rightful owners and even India's cricket has taken a serious turn for the worse and that's just off the top of my head!

After chasing each other around in circles for a bit of afternoon entertainment Wild Coast style, these two went their seperate ways amicably.

It feels like I've been away for a century and maybe I have, but rest assured I'm back to help where I can.
