Civil and structural engineer via Wiltshire and Yorkshire. Emigrated to Botswana at the turn of the century. Built some roads, built some mines, built a family, building a farm. Runs, cycles, reads. Proudly woke. Cats, dogs and misc. wildlife.
This week's garden visitor: a four foot long rock monitor lizard.
Alerted by incoherent squealing of family members in the kitchen who saw it wandering down the driveway before it ducked into the garden.
