New Releases
A Hammock Under the Zimbabwean Sky. Stories From A Time Of Innocence.
A time of laughter and sunshine, before mobile phones, email or internet; before politics and lawlessness; just farming the old-fashioned way with 6 employees, 2 oxen, and a little Landrover.
Mostly home alone with a little boy, bottle feeding calves and lambs, coping with crazy creatures and snapping geese. Wild fires and pounding rain; pythons and curly chickens; green cream soda and sweet buns at the farm store; collecting tadpoles in a jar, sunburnt faces, smiling dogs.
This is the story of where it all began, the story before ‘African Tears.’
Softback editions available exclusively from LULU.
