This doesn't look like a morning walk. That's because Maggie wanted to finish the masks for our son, Michael, and his family in Pietermaritzburg. I also asked her to make some for another family.

Just took a break for some important things. Thanks for reading.

You can see that today I secretly photographed them as they passed us and greeted us. I made their photos small so that it's impossible to make out who they are. These photos above are of myself and Maggie walking on the road that passes by the school in our neighbourhood. You can see the beautiful trees that form a canopy over the road going into the dis
