03/03/2017 Back home, no daily photos but a few of our trip to Johannesburg and on to Botswana and Zambia.

Maximum temperature 19C, minimum 7C.  65km/h SW wind. 60 mm of rain while we were away and high winds that have blown the covers of the wood pile, also the compost bins seem to have taken flight over the hedge!

02/02/17 It is not a stick insect at all as I thought, but a short-horned grasshopper of the Acrididae family.  There are 356 species in this family but unfortunately not all of them have been given scientific names yet.  Thanks Joan.
