HI Ashley
I agree with you. Sometimes half the fun of the holiday, is the planning and excitement it brings.
I see I jumped the gun there, but I’d love to see fun facts and photographs on our wildlife and fauna (especially fynbos).
With everything that’s been going on in this country this year, I think this’d be the perfect ‘pick-me-up’! We need to keep finding reasons to love SA and this book is one of them.
I agree with you Okuhle. We all need to be inspired and can do with a pick-me-up like you said.
Would love to win a copy. Interested in anything about animal and nature!
