We continue to clock up the miles I think we’ve covered over 1000 mikes since we left Cape Town on Tuesday morning. We now begin the descent down the very rocky road from our little mountain retreat. The Morija Guest House is an interesting place to visit.I talk with Bernard a world renowned French Palentologist [...]

Blue sky horizon
An African afternoon
Woman and men work
On the road
In the hot sun
Personalities hidden
Beneath orange boiler suits
Faces melt
covered in black woollen hats

It was  Wednesday morning I was up early just after 7.00am . We could hear the sound of children’s voices  as they made their way to school. We continue on the next leg of our journey.  The thing is we just got news  that the person we wanted to see in Lesotho is not going to be available to see us. I don’t know the whole story but as Willie says, ” A wee enforced rest will do us no harm” Most of the day we spend in the car covering over 300 miles.

Today we strike out on our own to explore South Africa. We’ve hired a car and we’re heading out on the Garden Route we hope to reach Jo’burgh by Saturday. It looks like a 1000 mile trip. It will be interesting to
Reflect on the experiences we encounter.

It’s really quite frustrating to be here at the Lausanne Congress. It is almost impossible to get on to the Internet. I think that they must have not fully appreciated the demand that participants would make on the wifi.
I made a post yesterday but when I tried to post it the system crashed. So here I go again.

It was a brilliant day the sun was shining and there was a refreshing breeze blowing in from the Atlantic. I was glad we had gone through the registration for the conference the previous day. The centre looks fantastic and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful, but I must confess I’m already feeling hemmed [...]

We were up early this morning to catch the tour bus to get a ride around the city. It was the red tour. The last tour bus I was on was in Glasgow. ( It turned put to be a bit of a disaster), anyway we got on the bus outside the famous St Georges’s [...]

Well I arrived in Cape Town yesterday with my fellow travellers the Mc and the Mac Phersons. We were wondering if our flat would be authentic as you read about a lot of people being duped over the Internet. Anyway Sharon was a real person and our flat is ideal for what we require. It’s [...]

I’m just back from having an interesting two days in London. A few of us from the Vine Trust had the honour of being invited to a Garden Party at Buckingham Palace as part of the celebrations surrounding Princess Anne’s 60th Birthday. It turned out to be an excellent day and the weather added to [...]

It’s just gone 11.30pm and I’m in Lima. This has been quite an historic weekend. For the first time ever the Vine Trust and Union Biblica have come together for a joint meeting to discuss vision and strategy. For the past two days I’ve been down at Kawai where Union Biblica have a boys home [...]
