Who would have thought?

All ablaze

Inlemay @Inlemay (17712) • South Africa 30 Jun 17

Door County and some Marvelous Lighthouses

Inlemay @Inlemay (17712) • South Africa 13 Jun 17

Hooray the Mail Camel arrived - Barry will know what that means as he is under the impression (ha ha ha - in his own imaginative mind) that Camels are why mail takes so long to get to SA. Luckily they are reliable and just...
