2008 has arrived - an old cliché and I guess a sign of old age but I wonder where the time goes?

We had Christmas on Kanana, very quiet just Vicky myself and Lara with Vicky’s folks and some old friends of theirs. I’m sure I’m now identified as an incurable alcoholic - I had a couple of Castles and perhaps a glass of whisky while the rest were abstemious - this a contrast to our usual friends!

The farm is only now waking up from the holidays. Zimbo workers are back from the catastrophe which is Zimbabwe today, they’re cheerful despite their worries and problems, maybe a lesson there somewhere.

We’re still scanning the heavens for signs of rain, we’ve had a bit but patchy some parts are lovely and green and other parts parched and black, farmers never satisfied!

As ever we’re busy putting up fences, taking down fences, exporting game, importing game sounds futile but in reality it’s progress!

This is the time of year for babies and we’re hoping to see a rhino calf soon as well as a young Richards - Jess!!

Wonder what this year will bring, our life was always so calm and predictable, that changed in an instant and we’re now conscious and fearful of each day, each shrill ring of the phone.

I hope that all who read this and a few others have a good, healthy and happy 2008.
