After returning to South Africa having lived away from the country for 18 years, I moved into a cottage on a farm in Stellenbosch where I met a number of interesting people who made my return to SA that bit easier... it was an interesting period for me; a time to slow down, a time to settle my feet on Africa once again and feel the way of the people.

It was the people really, who made it all work out for me. There was a man named Marius who was an interesting character; a bit of a recluse, a quiet thinker.. The farm manager, a guy by the name of "Sampie".. what a fun time we had! The many people who lived in the farmlands of Stellenbosch were such a fun, friendly bunch! I don't know if this is going to bring the feeling of what it was like, but I hope the following images share the essence of what my two years in Stellenbosch was like:
