Finally I have the feeling we are really getting somewhere with the Buchter. We found a new printer in Windhoek - who prints the national newspaper “The Namibian” - and I am very busy changing the whole look of the Buchter.
I honestly believe that finally we are making a newspaper which makes me feel proud [...]
Yesterday I had my hands full at the Brightstart Christmas Concert. It was a fundraising concert for the local Montessori school Brightstart. It started of with the children singing “do-re-mi” & ” My Favourite Things”. After that a choir - including Anna - sang “Ave Verum” and another song (I forgot - sorry).

It goes without saying that Kolmanskop is a photographers dream - after all the studio isn’t based their because of the lovely neighbours.
So [...]
This week I picked up my fishing license. And because the last two days have been virtually wind still & sunny days, it was time for fishing.
Accompanied by my downstairs neighbour, his two fishing rods and a six pack of beer we headed out to the yeti, just behind our house. And I’m happy to [...]
It started of Friday the 3rd of October. After helping out at Brightstart, moving the lower-elementary to the upper-elementary class and vice versa, we left at 1 p.m. towards the Kubul farm in Aus.
The drive took us about an hour and a half. An hour and a half. Not so long you might think… well [...]
I’m back from an exhausting but unbelievably fun week of veld school. I’ve been camping, hunting, abseiling and hiking. So much that I haven’t found the time yet to put it all in one story, so I’ll start off with the general idea of veld school.
