That’s exactly it. Space. Everything is so cluttered over there. However I’ve learned to love the clutter, and there are days that I miss it immensely. I know for sure, had I had the opportunity to go back to the UK permanently I’d have done so without thinking twice.
As much as I love South Africa the country, nature, climate, the outlook on life, so much I fear for my life every single day. Its no longer safe to let your kids ride their bicycles to school. Such a pity. This country has such potential.
