05/06/2016 Old car Rally at St Adjutory.

Maximum temperature 21C, minimum 11C. 13 km/h NE winds. Dry.

We joined friends today out on a car rally. It was good to be out in some decent weather for a change! I took (as always), too many photos, but here are some of what I think are the better ones. I have put links to the rarer models if you are interested.

72 cars started the rally, but there seemed to be a few more at the end!

2CVs

A bit chaotic driving through Cherves Chatelars as there were a lot of people attending a local Bric-a-Brac!

If you know us well you will also know this is our favourite , we are huge Porsche fans.

Not to be outdone, we met up with a cart (caleche) and two horses.

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.
