The boring bit

My photo
Hippo
Luanda, Angola
I first came to Africa in the early 90's, supposedly for one year. Six months in Mozambique followed by six months in Angola and then home again. Nearly 30 years later, I am still here. I have gone where the jobs were, in mine clearance, security, the oil industry, anything that would put bread on the table. I have a farm in southern Angola and am building a lovely restaurant on the banks of the Rio Kwanza where the river spills into the Atlantic ocean. I am 61 years old, have two sons aged 21 and 11, a daughter aged 4, a longtime girlfriend 21 years my junior, three dogs and a fine goose which we keep meaning to eat at Christmas but somehow never do.
