Never a dull road


Our road to work is always different. It can be tarmac with pedestrians, cows, goats, buses, lorries, cars, bicycles or donkeys to negotiate. It can be a dry earth road with thorn trees, bushes, ostrich, zebra, giraffe, gazelle to negotiate and dust....dust.....dust... which swirls up, in and around the car, and obscures the way ahead. It can be a dry river bed, with boulders, rocks and gulleys to negotiate. Or mud, glorious mud and then you hold on as you slip and slide in partial control wondering whether you’ll get there today – or tomorrow. And sometimes there’s no road at all...... and always with goats, cows and donkeys!
