Sunday August 24th - 20:53

There is an elephant in my garden. I can't see him, but he's busily eating a tree or two.

Today we delivered a car to St Lucia, which is a lovely seaside resort to the east of here. We had lunch outside in the sun, then came home to do the evening drive.

Now, I don't actually have a picture of the lions (look, it was dark, OK?) .... but you need to believe that we were driving with a tourist safari bus in front of us when two lions were just - well, there. In the road.

We were looking for them, but it's not often that an animal just presents itself to you. Normally they hide behind a bush and laugh at you. You know they are there. I'm sure they know we are there, but a lion which doesn't want to be seen will not be seen.
