The last couple of weeks haven’t been easy. With my decision made to head back to South Africa at the end of this month, my mind was going in the direction of sorting, discarding, packing and getting on the road.
Then life threw a curve ball.
It’s Thanksgiving in the States but of course, not here in South Africa.
And it really brought home the reality of my life - I’m living with each foot in two different worlds; here physically, in my ancestral world and digitally in the world I spent most of my life in, the US.
It’s difficult to compare the two and even more difficult, sometimes, not to! When I’m here, I miss being there; when I’m there, I miss being here but I have always called South Africa home.
Here I am on the other side of the world, and getting bombarded with the election BS. I have been trying to avoid the majority of the news, but it’s not easy. And it’s terrifying to even think that that man can get in for another four years. It absolutely blows my mind that anybody wants to vote for the him. To me, he is the epitome of evil.
It was hard to top Saturday’s meander visiting the brewery out in the country and the cafe that serves coffee with a side of pot. But I was completely blown away by Netherwood Farm, which literally took my breath away, I can’t remember ever being so enthralled with a location.
