Namibia, 2 weeks gone, 2 weeks to go. I am staying at a private game reserve where I volunteered to help set up a small Permaculture project. Also to make a bit of a bird survey.

Not much internet  connection here so just a short post ( I am on a rare visit to a nearby town at the moment) and more when I get home.
Well, it hasn’t been so easy. People, people….
The place seems to be in a constant (and to my eyes totally unnecessary) state of crisis. So it is difficult to get anything done. Still some progress and I have met some nice birds and animals – like these Oryx who come by the house I stay in.

I have also eaten a lot of Oryx! The Afrikaaners who run this place may be a bit stressy and inefficient at running things but they sure know how to barbecue wild animals.

Anyway, the seeds on my front door step are coming up nicely and hopefully (if we can get some irrigation issues sorted out), will be planted out  together with a nice mixture of fruit trees and native species before it’s time to go home.
So when everything goes all wrong, I sit on my little terrace, watch the seeds growing and wait for the Oryx.
