House-sitting

It wasn't too difficult for us to house-sit for the friendly couple in the Bvumba with a view like this from their veranda. They had lost their huge farm a few years earlier and now they lived in a small modest house with cows (one 6 hours old as we arrived), cats, dogs, chickens and the other paraphernalia of a country house.
