Jacqueline and Sihle

This afternoon my dogs and I took a walk down to the bottom of the garden to see the recent damage done by the latest veld fires of last week. Here in the burnt wasteland I met my neighbours Jacqueline and Sihle also walking their dogs. The landscape around us looked black and blue, dead to the world. But in Africa veld fires are needed for rejuvenation and walking along the scorched grass I saw signs of green peeping out of the black. Life will be back. I promise.
