The time of global of COVID will never be forgotten. Your vlogs give me an opportunity to see other areas in the world that I have only read about. Thank you.
Wow I am over the top flabbergasted, this waterfalls are so magnificent, I get goosebumps and must cry.....sooo beautiful And over the top wauww!!!!!!! I like all of the Africa videos very, very much ! And then the joy from little Crusoe !!!!!!!! Fantastic!!!!
Great blogs as always guys . David and I would just like to say we have notice Tara’s accent has become very strong again . Also much love to the little man he is a star 🌟
To see a Pumba spa in the middle of the road, what a treat. Ellies in the bush and on the road, you have a great life my friends. Have a good one Love and light from Gothenburg with rain, snow and sun.
Hi Meinart, how are you friend? Pumba loving the dirt! Sweden in all its wonderful colours. Ahh how I miss your wonderful home. Did we tell you that John once cycled the entire length of Sweden? Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. 👍❤️🙏🚐
Another great video wow Vic Falls we’re breath taking. Look forward to the next part of your adventure. Crusoe is really growing up now and learning to drive already lol x
Oh wow - I was completely immersed by this video today, as I have a long lazy morning in bed this Sunday. You’re all looking so relaxed, as if you are truly ‘home’
Oh my goodness dear Newbys, that was such a great adventure! I still have the shivers…. Several years ago we spent 12 hours in a Kenyan game reserve. Half way through we were stationary, in the back of an open high safari vehicle, quietly watching a small herd of elephant, when I looked behind us to see a ‘teenage’ elephant start a full blown charge. I managed to signal the driver who was low down and momentarily not looking. He moved the vehicle forward so fast….just as the elephant was within trunk distance of where I sat.. My hear almost stopped….so I can’t imagine how you could breathe whilst that enormous elephant walked steadily by you. We’d be holding our breathe if it were a trained horse and rider, but a wild elephant…. how did you breathe…..? So exciting, so frightening, so wonderful. In deciding to explore, you certainly thought big and had to be very brave indeed…..wow 😳😅
Thanks Anne, wonderful to hear from you. Love the Kenyan adventure. Those elephants can be pretty tricky, especially the teenagers! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. 🙏👍
Hi Denise!! Crusoe always steals the show!! He’s learning to stand at the moment and knows what eyes are and can point at lights and birds! Great fun. Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. 🐘❤️🙏🦒
Hi Dave! Great to hear from you friend, its been quite a week! thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 🐘🐘🐘❤️🙏
Thanks Conny! Crusoe has a few big weeks ahead of him, with Meerkats and lions on the horizon.. we hope! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. 🙏🐘🦒❤️
Hi Samantha! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. thanks so much for taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🐘🦒🦁
What an INCREDIBLE episode! My heart rate sped up a tad during the footage of the face-off with that elephant!! Amazing! Great to see Crusoe becoming more aware of everything around him - gorgeous! x
Thanks Teresa! Crusoe is changing before our eyes and every day he’s more and more aware. He met his first meerkats this morning which was truly magical!
"Tara thinks it's 100" What a truly wild adventure! Being in elephant territory looks very intense! Always enjoy your adventures and your little man is adorable!
Hi Lee, Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. those Elephants are huge. whole other adventure self driving!! Thanks so much for taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🐘🐘
That first Elephant trumpeted that there were some TH-camrs coming and so the big fella just wanted to have some fun at your expense because he knew he was being filmed! I imagine he was giggling on the inside as he left the path! 🐘 I'm a long-time lurker here having found your amazing channel during lockdown and I've watched and liked every one (some I'm on multiple views of) but after this, I just had to come and say a big thank you from the bottom of my heart for THE BEST safari viewing I've EVER seen in these past few videos - and I'm including all the National Geographic, Attenborough-esque, made-for-TV ones in that comment too! I know I've not really *seen * these things for myself, but to see them vicariously as you take us with you on your adventures is just beyond wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing your journeys and expeeriences with your viewers in cyberspace! Sending much 💚& *hugs * to you all xx
Ahh it’s so great to hear from you Kimberley, thanks so much for being here and supporting our journey, it truly means the world to us. Your message has truly made our day, it must be one of the loveliest we’ve received! It’s our absolute joy and pleasure sharing it all with you and we’re excited for all that’s to come! Have a great week and we will see you on Sunday! ❤️
Thanks Mint Leaf. Crazy ride that’s for sure. So different when you self guide to when you have an actual guide! Lovely to hear some of your own memories. We have similar stories to tell 🐘🐘👍❤️
Hello Newby's... another fantastic adventure. Thankfully Crusoe was quiet while you were navigating the elephants. Can you imagine what the early humans felt when they encountered a wooly mammoth. Talk about comfort zones. Little man looks like he's on the verge of walking. So far has he been taste testing everything? I like how John just stares at Crusoe trying to soak every single moment... rightly so, children grow up way too fast. Safe travels. Til next Sunday. ❤❤🐘🐘🐘
Hello Cathy! Thanks for tuning in friend, and yes - we were also talking about the early African pioneers who must have been faced with thousands of elephants and thick bush and it must have been extraordinary. Crusoe is on the very verge of walking, currently practicing standing up and yep, everything goes into the mouth! We’re doing our very best to soak it all up before he’s all grown up. See you next Sunday! 😊

Hi Tara John and Crusoe,that was a big elephant I must say ,wow Crusoe is getting about now soon be time for a harness and Raines so he don’t escape lol he is growing so quickly now such a cute smile he has ,the falls sure did have a lot of water going over the top then last time ,is that a different camper than last time got to say John you keep your nerves when that big bull came towards you well done ,great blog loved every moment of it till next time take care keep safe drive careful no more playing chicken with a bull elephant ok ,hug to you all ,john 😆😂🙏🌟🌹🥂👏👏👦👦🐘🐘🍁💐💐
What a Snuffleupagus of a vlog!! Loved it from beginning to end. Crusso is becoming so big..I can see the curiosity in his eyes. He's going to be a wonderful explorer! Thanks again for sharing another day in your lives💕💕
And yes I’ve been all over your channel the last day hahaha. I’m now refocused on my Monday here in California. I will, however, be back. And I’ve shared you with several ppl. So fantastic. Beyond a documentary-it’s good stuff.
You guys, that was just awesome to watch. Great great great! 👍 It feels like you are in a real African dream. We now have arrived at the same continent as you are. Exploring Morocco 🇲🇦 from tomorrow on!
Amazing! The power of that elephant bull, wow, what a presence! Well done guys so glad Tara knows what 'not to do'! When you get to Egypt the most you will encounter is camels... What an amazing adventure! Thank you for sharing this video, as always so very inspiring... you are truly living the dream big and be brave!
I like hear Tara and John swear!❣😂 It's not the swear besides 💩 is not a swear it's a real thing...a Noun❣🤣 it's the true Travel Spirit I love of the Newby's. The stowaway hen laying an egg, how it tried to make itself fit in, in-line with the shoes and the rest is memory as John sells the story to the bartender I say there is a book to be made about: Encounters though our travels."
Wow talk about keeping us on the edge of our seats, that last elephant was so close. Tara you were amazing. I’m so grateful that you share your adventures with us. I just don’t know what to expect next week. Every week I think surely it can’t get anymore exciting but it does.
Hi Jane! Great to hear from you friend, its been quite a week! Lots of wildlife at the moment and plenty of adventure for little Crusoe. Next week we think we should be bumping into some lions and heading into a Botswanan Pan! Can’t wait. Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🇧🇼🐘🦒🦁
I'm a bit late this week in watching your video but it was just great again. I love to watch the elephants through your video. I've also had an experience of an elephant chasing our vehicle and could feel that energy through your video again. They are majestic for sure. Be safe! I look for your video every week. Thanks for all your time in producing such great content.
Thanks Laura! Wow that must have got the heart racing for sure. Being in their company is always a privilege isn’t it? Thanks for being a part of our adventure.
Wow.. I'm happy that you had an easy access into Botswana. Somehow it is funny that I learnt about some parts of my country from this channel. Great work!
Beautiful Vic Falls with those volume of water!!! and.... can imagine Crusoe being the driver!! Gotta be the cutest driver in the world EVER!!! Love his green hat! :) XXXX... and those majestic elephants! wowww though very very scary encounters!!! Sooo glad you're all were safe!!!
Hi Carol!! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. thanks so much for taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🐘🐘
That was amazing. I was on the edge of the sofa when that elephant approached the car, I couldn’t breathe 😂. The falls were spectacular, the elephants were unbelievable but for me Crusoe was the star of this video! What a wonderful boy.
As always, AWESOME video guys! Wow that elephant footage was incredible, they’re such amazing creatures aren’t they? Well done for handling that situation so calmly, it could’ve turned nasty. And Vic Falls look stunning! Thanks for a fabulous video 😊
Oh elephants are just the best, to be in their presence is a true privilege. Thanks so much Bridget, we really appreciate you being here. Have a great week!
Loving Crusoe's new found mobility. He is ready to take on a world of discovery! I held my breath when watching that big elephant coming up to you. It was amazing that C did not squeal out. However, what I loved the most was the sheer joy and fun you all experienced back at the falls. Thankyou again for such a wonderful vlog. Bring on Botswana! (All I know about this country is from listening to the radio plays, 'No.1 Ladies Detective Agency!) Stay safe and well.
Ahh thanks Linda, so wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed it all and we’re a part of how we felt at each spot. Botswana is wild and we are having an amazing time! And those books are some of our favourites too!
Omg,my heart was in my mouth when you were driving though those elephants,I can't imagine how much your heart was racing.Had to giggle when Tara swore 😂.Hope all is still going well 🙂🌈
Thanks Suzy!! All still going strong, Crusoe met some meerkats yesterday and we’re settling into the wild life! Thanks for being here and see you on Sunday!
Whew! I was right there with you and the elephants. Elephant soup for sure. Never seen anything like that. And top it off with a spectacular lightning show. Is your Africa itinerary for sale on your website?
Wow, well that was exciting, I was nervous for you guys when those elephants got so close but thank God everything went well. I like your van it looks like it is set up really good to travel and sleep in. I wish you guys well, take care until next time, God bless❤️🙏🏻🐘🐘🐘👏
Absolutely love elephants! That bull elephant was awesome and scary at the same time. Caruso is wonderful travelling…I cannot wait to see where you go next!
OMG! I would have crapped my drawers with that huge elephant! I could literally hear both of your hearts beat fast, mine would have exploded! I would not have slept that night.
Love my Sunday mornings with you Guys, always amazing. I spat my coffee out laughing when Tara swore haha good timing Tara!! 😂 Glad you went back to Vic Fall what a difference. Happy Sunday Catch ya soon ❤
Wow!! How spectacular were the falls with all the extra water and how immense they looked, yet from the sky…they looked so insignificant. And my goodness…..those beautiful elephants, so majestic yet flipping scary I imagine. I’m so pleased to have found your vlog as it’s so educational and the scenery is just totally amazing. Looking forward to next weeks already. Safe travels 😍
Thanks so much Julie! What a kind and lovely comment, we so appreciate that. Thanks for being here and we’re excited to share the rest of Botswana with you!
Wow, wow, wow! I thought my heart was going to stop - you kept your cool whilst I was having a nervous breakdown! Fabulous Vlog once more - thanks and stay safe ok :-)
Great to see you guys back on the road, although sad that you left family behind! Chobe sure is amazing. Can’t believe all those hefalumps! Now, let’s talk about that language young lady! Hahahahahaha. Be Brave!
Hi African guys. Awesome travel. The waterfall roared quite hard. The elephants were really hot.🐘No one can guess what they have in mind. And you can't run away with them everywhere ... huh. I can imagine that the pulses have been pretty much in the sky. Great movie. Question: When are you going on a trip with that cozy package? Greetings from a snowstorm in Helsinki 🇫🇮☃
Thanks friend! We’ve got three more weeks in Botswana and then plans to go further afield - all will be revealed soon!! Thanks for watching and keep warm!!

WOW those elephants!! Scary but totally amazing! What fabulous park ups. How do you find the park ups in Africa are there any apps that you can use? Thank you for sharing, we are loving watching your travels in Africa. 💛
Watched this weeks episode and last weeks as one giant episode 'Phew' - almost too much. Discussed your progress with the lady at the Chippy Sweety Shop last week. You're such an inspiration. Another thing I've noticed. When I first met you doing the van fit out last year (remember, I told you that you should get a youtube channel because van life is a thing there) you told me you already had a site with over 5K followers......looks like you've kicked that out of the park!!
Hi Peter! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. we are missing Chippy that’s for sure. Should be briefly back in a few weeks. Then off of the next adventure! Wishing you both well from Botswana we will see you soon. 🙏🐘🐘👍
Thanks Mike! An amazing week for sure. Cuddly elephants, rua or would almost certainly be in agreement!! 🐘🐘❤️ Thanks as always for your support friend. 👍
Another lovely vlog, John and Tara. When I was last at Chobe in the early 80’s, my wife to be, booked us into The Chobe Game Lodge and we even stayed in the same room that Richard Burton and Liz Taylor had their second honeymoon! Happy days and there were many elephants including a baby, we found stuck in the mud which had been abandoned by it’s mother. It was safely rescued! I recall in an earlier trip at Vic Falls where when walking along the road from the A’Zam back to Vic Falls (not to be recommended) which coincided with a visit by the King and Queen of Spain. On my journey back the Presidential motorcade passed me by and fortunately I found cover in the bush a good while before! It is such a lovely part of The World!
You have the very best travel stories Hugh, thank you as always for sharing them with us. We spent a few hours at Chobe game lodge working and loading our latest video and we bet it hasn’t changed much since you were there, magical place.

Third attempt I keep loosing them…I think it’s caused by elephant induced stress lol. Despite that stress thoroughly enjoyed my time with you catch you again Ingrid
I remember looking after a gorgeous 96 yo lady (in Australia), her parents were British Diplomats in the day. I shall never forget her saying to me…”…..you may see a 96 yo lady in front of you but on the inside I’m still a 16yo girl sitting in front of Victoria Falls”. What a stunning sight.
Thank you! Your show just happens to have every aspect of what happens in people's daily life. Travel, diversity, pregnancy, strength and partnership in a marriage, renovations, courtyards, pebbles, stones, Rocks of every size and shape, rock tablet that look like Moses and the Ten Commandment, daily discovery of beaten paths. I thank you!💕😍

Hectic departure but sounds like a smoother border crossing.
Epic Elephant coverage with magnificent backgrounds
Missing you guys. M

And yes I’ve been all over your channel the last day hahaha. I’m now refocused on my Monday here in California. I will, however, be back. And I’ve shared you with several ppl. So fantastic. Beyond a documentary-it’s good stuff.
You guys, that was just awesome to watch. Great great great! 👍
It feels like you are in a real African dream.
We now have arrived at the same continent as you are. Exploring Morocco 🇲🇦 from tomorrow on!
Thanks guys! Have an amazing time in Morocco! We’re so excited to get over there later in the year. ☀️ 🐪
Amazing! The power of that elephant bull, wow, what a presence! Well done guys so glad Tara knows what 'not to do'! When you get to Egypt the most you will encounter is camels... What an amazing adventure! Thank you for sharing this video, as always so very inspiring... you are truly living the dream big and be brave!
Thanks so much Anouk, so appreciate it and hope all is well in Egypt!
I like hear Tara and John swear!❣😂
It's not the swear besides 💩 is not a swear it's a real thing...a Noun❣🤣 it's the true Travel Spirit I love of the Newby's. The stowaway hen laying an egg, how it tried to make itself fit in, in-line with the shoes and the rest is memory as John sells the story to the bartender I say there is a book to be made about: Encounters though our travels."
Well, it makes a change from traffic jams! We could hear how nervous you were Tara, what an experience!
Haha quite right Claire! Thank you 🙏🏼
Wow talk about keeping us on the edge of our seats, that last elephant was so close. Tara you were amazing. I’m so grateful that you share your adventures with us. I just don’t know what to expect next week. Every week I think surely it can’t get anymore exciting but it does.
Hi Jane! Great to hear from you friend, its been quite a week! Lots of wildlife at the moment and plenty of adventure for little Crusoe. Next week we think we should be bumping into some lions and heading into a Botswanan Pan! Can’t wait. Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🇧🇼🐘🦒🦁
Great video... thanks for sharing 👍💯🤗
Thanks Celia!! This was a rush to put together. But we managed it!! Phew.
I'm a bit late this week in watching your video but it was just great again. I love to watch the elephants through your video. I've also had an experience of an elephant chasing our vehicle and could feel that energy through your video again. They are majestic for sure. Be safe! I look for your video every week. Thanks for all your time in producing such great content.
Thanks Laura! Wow that must have got the heart racing for sure. Being in their company is always a privilege isn’t it? Thanks for being a part of our adventure.
Another amazing day:-) I'm sitting in rainy telford (we have wild squirrels) only 2 weeks till I'm there :-)
Oooo the countdown is on! We’re so excited for you!!!
Wow.. I'm happy that you had an easy access into Botswana. Somehow it is funny that I learnt about some parts
of my country from this channel. Great work!
Thanks so much for watching Babusi 😊🙏🏼❤️
Beautiful Vic Falls with those volume of water!!! and.... can imagine Crusoe being the driver!! Gotta be the cutest driver in the world EVER!!! Love his green hat! :) XXXX... and those majestic elephants! wowww though very very scary encounters!!! Sooo glad you're all were safe!!!
Thanks so much friend, always so great to hear from you and we really appreciate you tuning in each week. Botswana is wild!
WOW! That drive through the elephant was amazing! Thank you for sharing another wonderful adventure😊
Hi Carol!! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. thanks so much for taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🐘🐘
That was amazing. I was on the edge of the sofa when that elephant approached the car, I couldn’t breathe 😂. The falls were spectacular, the elephants were unbelievable but for me Crusoe was the star of this video! What a wonderful boy.
Ahh thank you Sylvia, he’s a real little superstar that’s for sure.
The journey for Crusoe is taking another turn after he is crawling and babbling and exploring more mobile than before.happy baby🐥😘
Thanks Esra! He’s a very happy chap and we have to keep a beady eye on him for sure!
that shot of Vic Falls from the air was GREAT!
I was holding my breath when you encountered that massive male elephant
Thanks Cathy!! 🙏❤️🌍
Crazy… those falls, elephants at the side of the road 🤯
And, a mobile crusoe?? You’re both in for an entertaining future now 😂😂
Hahaha oh for sure, little bugger is threatening to walk and then the parties really over! Have a great trip to Iceland guys!
@@TheNewbys while we sit back and enjoy you both chasing him round 😁
Thank you 👍🏼
Ha! True that!! We catch up with your videos when we head out of Botswana. WiFi here terrible. 👍
As always, AWESOME video guys! Wow that elephant footage was incredible, they’re such amazing creatures aren’t they? Well done for handling that situation so calmly, it could’ve turned nasty. And Vic Falls look stunning! Thanks for a fabulous video 😊
Oh elephants are just the best, to be in their presence is a true privilege. Thanks so much Bridget, we really appreciate you being here. Have a great week!
Loving Crusoe's new found mobility. He is ready to take on a world of discovery! I held my breath when watching that big elephant coming up to you. It was amazing that C did not squeal out. However, what I loved the most was the sheer joy and fun you all experienced back at the falls. Thankyou again for such a wonderful vlog. Bring on Botswana! (All I know about this country is from listening to the radio plays, 'No.1 Ladies Detective Agency!) Stay safe and well.
Ahh thanks Linda, so wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed it all and we’re a part of how we felt at each spot. Botswana is wild and we are having an amazing time! And those books are some of our favourites too!
Omg,my heart was in my mouth when you were driving though those elephants,I can't imagine how much your heart was racing.Had to giggle when Tara swore 😂.Hope all is still going well 🙂🌈
Thanks Suzy!! All still going strong, Crusoe met some meerkats yesterday and we’re settling into the wild life! Thanks for being here and see you on Sunday!
Whew! I was right there with you and the elephants. Elephant soup for sure. Never seen anything like that. And top it off with a spectacular lightning show. Is your Africa itinerary for sale on your website?
Wow, well that was exciting, I was nervous for you guys when those elephants got so close but thank God everything went well. I like your van it looks like it is set up really good to travel and sleep in. I wish you guys well, take care until next time, God bless❤️🙏🏻🐘🐘🐘👏
An amazing trip Doria! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. 🐘❤️👍
Absolutely love elephants! That bull elephant was awesome and scary at the same time. Caruso is wonderful travelling…I cannot wait to see where you go next!
Thanks so much Linda!
Yay for the elephants! But so thankful you are safe! 😜
Beautiful elephants. HUGE one faced us. Thanks for watching!! 🐘🐘

@@quirkydrift 😂😉👍
Wow!! How spectacular were the falls with all the extra water and how immense they looked, yet from the sky…they looked so insignificant. And my goodness…..those beautiful elephants, so majestic yet flipping scary I imagine. I’m so pleased to have found your vlog as it’s so educational and the scenery is just totally amazing. Looking forward to next weeks already. Safe travels 😍

Hi African guys. Awesome travel. The waterfall roared quite hard. The elephants were really hot.🐘No one can guess what they have in mind. And you can't run away with them everywhere ... huh. I can imagine that the pulses have been pretty much in the sky. Great movie. Question: When are you going on a trip with that cozy package?
Greetings from a snowstorm in Helsinki 🇫🇮☃
Thanks friend! We’ve got three more weeks in Botswana and then plans to go further afield - all will be revealed soon!! Thanks for watching and keep warm!!

WOW those elephants!! Scary but totally amazing! What fabulous park ups. How do you find the park ups in Africa are there any apps that you can use? Thank you for sharing, we are loving watching your travels in Africa. 💛
Thanks so much Forrest & Flo, we booked into campsites on that trip. We love having you along for the journey! Thanks for watching friend ❤️❤️
@@TheNewbys thanks for your reply! Good luck with the birth of your new baby. ❤️
Watched this weeks episode and last weeks as one giant episode 'Phew' - almost too much. Discussed your progress with the lady at the Chippy Sweety Shop last week. You're such an inspiration. Another thing I've noticed. When I first met you doing the van fit out last year (remember, I told you that you should get a youtube channel because van life is a thing there) you told me you already had a site with over 5K followers......looks like you've kicked that out of the park!!
Hi Peter! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. we are missing Chippy that’s for sure. Should be briefly back in a few weeks. Then off of the next adventure! Wishing you both well from Botswana we will see you soon. 🙏🐘🐘👍
Great video and don't those elephants look cuddly? Until next week...
Thanks Mike! An amazing week for sure. Cuddly elephants, rua or would almost certainly be in agreement!! 🐘🐘❤️ Thanks as always for your support friend. 👍
Another lovely vlog, John and Tara. When I was last at Chobe in the early 80’s, my wife to be, booked us into The Chobe Game Lodge and we even stayed in the same room that Richard Burton and Liz Taylor had their second honeymoon! Happy days and there were many elephants including a baby, we found stuck in the mud which had been abandoned by it’s mother. It was safely rescued! I recall in an earlier trip at Vic Falls where when walking along the road from the A’Zam back to Vic Falls (not to be recommended) which coincided with a visit by the King and Queen of Spain. On my journey back the Presidential motorcade passed me by and fortunately I found cover in the bush a good while before! It is such a lovely part of The World!
You have the very best travel stories Hugh, thank you as always for sharing them with us. We spent a few hours at Chobe game lodge working and loading our latest video and we bet it hasn’t changed much since you were there, magical place.

Well done guys , nerves of steel, just don’t try that again, especially in Gonharezhou 🐘😳😬🤬🤦♂️
Thanks dad!! 🐘🐘🐘🙏❤️
What keeps the elephants from entering the camp site?
Nothing! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend.
Beautiful, 😮
Thanks friend ❤️❤️❤️
Third attempt I keep loosing them…I think it’s caused by elephant induced stress lol. Despite that stress thoroughly enjoyed my time with you catch you again Ingrid
Thanks Ingrid! So wonderful to have you along for our journey ❤️
I remember looking after a gorgeous 96 yo lady (in Australia), her parents were British Diplomats in the day. I shall never forget her saying to me…”…..you may see a 96 yo lady in front of you but on the inside I’m still a 16yo girl sitting in front of Victoria Falls”. What a stunning sight.
Hi Amanda! What a lovely comment to read. Thank you friend. Great to have you joining us. 🙏😊
