After a long flight from London Heathrow, as i was too afraid to fall asleep after a quick nap waking with my snoring and scaring the African gentleman beside me ... his whites of his eyes showed me how shocked he was when rudely awoken by some voluptuous women almost swallowed him whole...bless, served breakfast at 1am UK time but 3am Kenyan time..mmmm...strange but hey I ate .. arrived in Kenya, Nairobi, and waited 3hrs hrs for my connecting flight to the Congo...air crew were so amazing, stayed on the plane to continue onto my destination Ndola Zambia, where I had a very emotional welcome by My sister Shayne and her husband Ant who I have not seen in 19 years...all looked well, and the stifling heat was such a joy.... we decided to take the road and return to home which is in Solwezi 4.5hrs drive away, well, people in the UK have problems with traffic and being stuck in traffic jams for hrs ...this is a new experience as All eyes on the road, if there are not POT holes, speed bumps the size of hills, Africans with no road sense, over crowded buses & cars....so the trip really takes 6hrs ....
This is the good part... we arrive home to a wonderful greeting from Jade their Lab dog 15 months old (just like Baxter boy) and straight onto the veranda with a G&T and Eland biltong as much as one could consume....after a fresh farm lamb was packed and put into the freezer..it was time for some fresh lamb chops fresh veg and nosh was had...
shayne and I stayed up until 2am chewing the fat....well one has to!!!

Set up everything to play golf, well only a few holes as I haven't played for 2yrs...
I was incredibly tired and maybe it will get better after the massive blisters too.
