Fond family farewell...

-

South African drivers. Yip! I said it. As a nation, we like to give ourselves a hard time.

And, yes, there are some appalling drivers on our roads, but during my journey to and from Knysna, I experience­d nothing but courtesy and thoughtful­ness. Perhaps I just hit a sweet spot.

Saying goodbye to family. Even though my parents are six hours up the road, I don’t see them enough.

And I thought of all the millions of people in the world who are separated from their loved ones because of circumstan­ces beyond their control – collapsed economies, civil wars, genocide.

 ??  ?? SWEET SPOT: Journey to and from Knysna was surprising­ly cordial.
