Last weekend Lesley was busy helping with the Titchie Field Day (a sports day for the primary/elementary school). Parents of some the youngest pupils (up to Year 6) were visiting the school for the weekend, and she was helping organise egg-and-spoon races, upholding proper primary school traditions.
On the same day we were invited by some colleagues to explore Hell’s Gate, a national park around 1 hour north-west of the school, and Lesley graciously suggested I went with them.
With the help of a local guide, we hired bicycles and cycled through the park, seeing giraffes, warthogs, buffalos, antelope, and even a zebra crossing (the road).
After about an hour, we ditched the bikes and were taken by another local guide along the edge of the gorge. There were spectacular views of the central column (where part of Tomb Raider was filmed).
Then a bit further on we ended up at the spot which inspired the scene in The Lion King when Mafusa falls to his death. The animators visited Hell’s Gate to get ideas for the film.
Blog Frequency
Currently I am trying to post around once a week. I definitely cannot post more frequently than that, but I wondered if my readership would prefer something less often? I wouldn’t want to think you felt inundated by my missives.
So please reply in the comments with your preferences for blog post frequency e.g. weekly (as now), fortnightly (for the Americans amongst you, that means every two weeks) or monthly.
Proof of the pudding
