A homesteading lifestyle has always attracted me and what a better opportunity than this to explore the road to being self-sufficient.
The highs, the lows and the funny stories that happened over the past three months living as SA expats in Mozambique.
I don’t even know where to start with this year. What a year it’s been, it feels much longer than a year and at the same time, I question how is it over already? I’ve been blogging on and off since 2014, but after various work-frustrations, I decided to start blogging on a more full-time…
For this week I am uploading only one video, although I got some footage of a Civet, a Genet, a White-tailed Mongoose, a few hares and loads of baboons. I want to share this one with you. What do you think it is? Bush Baby? Tell me in the comments what you think?
