Folks, Happy New Year!

I have a tan from my sojourns on the Coast, where I might be returning soon to hunt for a ka-buroti because I enjoyed my time there.

It could have been because of the wonderful company I kept, even though, truth be told, it felt like we didn't live under the same roof.

Even the youngest man of the family had a holiday programme of his own, operating out of a nearby pond and only surfacing when he needed a breather or food, before returning underneath.
