Final Entry: As we return home we recall the last verse of the last hymn sung at Evensong in the Gothic cathedral in Odense, Denmark our last evening in continental Europe October 10, 2007 before the overnight ship to England. From 'We plough the fields' We thank thee then, O God, for all things bright and good, the seed-time and the harvest, our life, our health, our food; accept the gifts we offer for all they love imparts, and, what thou most desirest, our humble, thankful hearts. ... read more

Return to point of arrival in South Africa. We have stayed with nine delightful families, visited another seven, been to five national parks and five nature reserves. The number of kilometres driven in our car was 10,000 which took us to each of South Africa's nine provinces. An exceptionally rainy week in Jo'burg from our Friday arrival to Thursday departure. A charming and respected amateur meterologist by the name of Angus said that he had measured the most rain for any month in 20 years since he began his hobby (by the 24th of the month).
