What's new?


March 2012

Oli and I cruised the South Coast of SA for a few weeks before we flew home to early Spring sunshine... we are now back in Beeson, Devon. We have completed our journey from London to the Cape!

We left Keef in Africa, under the charge of a new owner, and it feels right that he should continue his travels there :-)

*Please check out our final photos from SA*

*and also our final blog*

[apologies for any video fanatics, but our little collection of movies has been archived]
