I am sure you who are reading this have a sense of déjà vu, “have I not heard Michael write about this before” – yes, at the same time last year! I must say, I dread this time of the year when I see all the veldfires, although one would have thought most of them should have been done earlier, and the sky starts turning a little bit more grey. It is only a matter of time before my staff and I all start coughing, and one begins that two or three month long wait for the first two or three sets of rain that finally clears everything up. I will not complain, because we have some of the best weather in the world for the other 10 months of the year and some of the winter weekends we’ve had recently have been beautifully warm as well.
