Nice one! The Karoo is looking pretty green!

Nice! It looks as if you've had some recent rain. Chuffed with my 44 mm yesterday near Bloemfontein.

We are actually still in the middle of a drought, the whole town on borehole water since December 2017 (the water in the dam is mostly mud), luckily we had about 50mm of rain a week or so ago, so the veld seems to be reacting to that

Haak Vrystaat! I'm glad you got some rain, we normally get a bit of rain a month or so after the northern provinces, but it seems as if the seasons are a month or so later than normal

Aha! Nice architecture.
If you need an accountant there, (or if you know of someone who needs one) I know one who's looking for work.

I lived n G-Rt for a year, along with numerous visits (my wife's grandmother and subsequently parents lived there)- I recognised those mountains immediately
