Photos from the new phone

I arrived this morning as usual for the beginning of Ramadan. I'll be travelling back and forth a bit  as  I  have to be in Dubai for bits of the month. Last night as I left for the airport I even questioned the wisdom of this trip but an upgrade to a seat in the front of the plane surrounded by the South African cricket team made it fairly painless. 

This morning the internet when I arrived so I've spent the day taking photos and reading and thinking and listening to great podcasts. All on my new phone!

I'm pretty bad at taking photos - it's never been anything I was interested in - but knowing what other people can do with the same technology I'm inspired to at least try. You can see the results below for what they're worth. I have noticed that I look more carefully when taking photos though so maybe I should do it more. But the results don't come close to capturing teh place. I'm going to try video next.

Ramadan Kareem everyone.

We're baaack. Again!

Well, not really. Not yet back at Iwura (but soon I hope) but back to the blog at least. Our new friend Matthias is staying and he has taken some photos. Thank you Matthais. So I thought I'd share them here. What a difference a year makes! The garden is coming along leaps and bounds and the flower tower is now a nice thing and not a monstrosity. There are no pits or craters and soon, soon, soon, there might even be a BBQ or a pizza oven. Or both. If anyone reading knows how to build either please let me know?
