I started planning to write something different and ended up on “Market Lessons”. But even when I read it, it sounds more like life lessons to me.

Letters from the Lowveld 17 – the one we still haven’t gotten over.
This post came up on my FB Memories a few days ago and it made my heart shudder. It darn near broke all over again. That hamster. I went back and read the Letter from the Lowveld 4 mentioned in the post again from top to bottom (Read it HERE), reliving the decision to get…

Letters From the Lowveld 14
New Year and new emotions in Kampersrus We have done it. We have reached Year 2 in Kampersrus. It has been fascinating looking back on this time last year.

Letters from the Lowveld 6.
Keeping nature out. I love nature better than most. I am comfortable with bugs. Moths – no problem. Spiders are ok if they don’t startle me and are reasonably small.

Letters from the Lowveld 4
Buying a hamster in the Lowveld. Shortly after arriving in the Lowveld, both our boys’ birthdays were looming. Ben was quite satisfied to receive Transformers. However, I started to become aware that Charlie & Andrew had been in negotiations around a hamster. Apparently, an agreement had even been reached. Now you may remember that pets…
