A Bimble with Larry and Zuko
  Late afternoon Larry invited me to
join him for a bimble with Zuko. Down the street we crossed a small car park and
saw these two chaps trotting along, they did stop to pose as soon as they got
to the far side - (pangolins).
 We crossed the railway track at the
place where people have stepped since the line was laid, on the wooden sleepers
between the rails. Looking right Larry said the “eyesore
bridge” is never used.
  Larry pointed to a tree and I zoomed in as far as I could hand-held and saw
a mum preening on her nest. “Don’t worry, we’ll get a
lot closer for a better look”. What a marvelous start.
   We did indeed get closer and we
enjoyed watching this attentive mum (heron).
 I’ll take no more hibiscus”, how many
times have I said that since leaving the Caribbean....... Oh well, it is a splendid red.
    The road took us to the shallow end of
the river where I could enjoy this egret scruffing
about.
  Roosting
time as we carried on, Zuko sniffing everything.
  Down a road I saw a house that I
though both stark and attractive at the same time.
Larry pointed left to a darling little
church.
 This was the
church that Larry and Marlo wed in 1983. The main door stays put but each
side the panels can be raised so the overflow congregation can sit on the
benches (to the left). There we sat and chatted.
   Flowers in the
churchyard and a big chap about his
work.
   We would bimble a square, on the third
side we saw more nest activity.
 In fact, there were three nests and
this matriarch stood watch.
  This was to be a
sunbird but Zuko saw to that and this chap was so
much closer until....yep, Zuko saw to that too.
 Loved the message
on this car.......
 Zuko met a
cat completely indifferent to his gentle “hello”.
 Back for a braai
and of course a whole cow went on the grill.......
ALL IN ALL A
JOY
