Going backwards........

I did not have a chance to look at the few photos I took while driving from home to the UK. Have just looked at them now and decided that there were a few worth posting.

Pont de Brotonne is a bridge in the region of Upper Normandy in France, situated between the cities of Le Havre and Rouen. It has crossed the river Seine since 1977.

Looking over at the bridge after we had crossed it.

Further along the road I just liked these clouds.

The moon was well up at around 5pm.

Not bad for a moving shot through the windscreen with Nigel's little Nikon Coolpix S7000

A little later before we arrived at the B & B at Eslettes. Very difficult to find in the dark and the SatNav could not pick up the address!!

The next morning at Immigration in Calais.

First car into the Chunnel 😉 and on an earlier one than planned which was good.

and finally in the UK. This is a pedestrian bridge over the M20.

I have updated my bird blog HERE.

Shadows Along the Zambezi by Diana M. Hawkins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I so enjoyed this book and towards the end I could not put it down only finishing at 2am! Having lived most of my early life in Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, so many places had a lot of meaning to me. Diana’s knowledge of every detail in this book is incredible.
Sadly, so much of this story is fact and very true. It made me cry and at times it made me smile. I hope that it might awaken the world as to what is going on in many African countries, and instead of so many people burying their heads in the sand, perhaps they might stand up and do something. Smuggling and hunting are very soon going to leave the world a very sad place when there are no animals left.
Now I am off to read Shadows over an African Heart.

Shadows Over an African Heart: a novel by Diana M. Hawkins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shadows over an African Heart is the perfect name for this book. The shadows are even bigger than I ever dreamt, and this book is a real eye-opener to the truth of what is going on. I was in tears in many places in this book. The fictional side story I so enjoyed, but the true and very sad story of the elephants and other animals; the Zimbabwe government has so much to answer for.
The world needs to read both of Diana’s books and action needs to be taken before the children of today never see wildlife as we have had the joy to grow up with around us.
There are many African words in the story which to me were great to be reminded of, but many are explained as you read and there is a good glossary of the words in the back of the book.
