There’s such truth in the saying that “When one door closes, another opens.” We recently experienced this in technicolour. Believe it or not, regular readers and long-time friends: Dave made a momentous decision 3 weeks ago, namely to retire from motorbike racing (after an on-off period of around 35 years).

Springtime in Lesotho means that peach trees are blossoming all over the countryside, like a shower of pink powder puffs. You may remember the image above from my post: Exploring Lesotho, the Magical “Mountain Kingdom”. Isn’t Mother Nature simply awesome?

It’s been winter for a while here, so there’s been nothing but a few, puffed-up little birds to decorate the branches.
