And I DO hate Chardonnay! But I don’t own a beach house, sadly.

🤣 I don't hate it, as it happens - although it's a Sauvignon blanc I'm quaffing as I'm typing this! I don't own a beach house either - UNLESS you count the campervan WHEN WE PARK IT AT THE BEACH. Is that a win? 🤔

BIG WIN! No room for guests in the campervan!

YESSSSSS! 🙌

(Although to be honest I'm surprised every time we get in it that even just the two of US fit, at 6ft 5 and just over 6ft!) 🤣

Makes me wonder what giraffes do when they go on vacation. There could be a drawing in that.

Oh I miss summer already! Here it feels like the big freeze... And winter is still coming! Raining buckets! and anything less than 16 degrees we, Southerners just can't cope with. Best place to be, under the covers. Enjoy your summer! 🌞

“Under the covers” sounds like an excellent way to ride out the winter. Rest is good! Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

And then there's loadshedding too! Always in the dark. That I can write a book about, or rather not! 😅

Loadshedding? I had to look that one up. Darkness has its good points! Weird fact about South Africa: it’s tied with the US as my greatest concentration of subscribers on the Road 2 Elsewhere. Which seems kind of random, but also really fun. I’ll need to book a visit to greet my many supporters down there!

Do sign up for teaching a cooking class somewhere . . . the foodie world seems to have entered your bloodstream, or was just a tick or two that inflicted such notions upon you?

Sometime Claire and I will go to France (or Italy! or California! or some other foodie fantasia!) and cook (and eat! and drink!) for a week. I'm a big fan of Bill Buford's "Dirt" and "Heat." If it's too hot in the kitchen, count me in.

Buford's the best! But unlike you, he ain't no illustrator, if memory serves . . . .

Better at bechamel, however.

Just maybe you two should go to France for a week and stay for a year, like Buford did, kinda sorta . . . .
