We went away on a 2-day trip, and it's always great to be back home.
Home is where the heart is as they say, and it's so true, as at least we know the weather here.
So where did we go? I will show in a series of posts soon, as we visited two great destinations here in our country. A clue would be that it's a fact that fruit is healthy eating for poor children, and enough said, as I don't want to spoil the visits.
We have our eyes constantly on the sky, as it is a book to read every day.
Nothing is a constant here, as at times when the sun is shining rain comes down. Now when we visit other areas for short periods, we pack lightly, and we have a look at what the weather is supposed to be over there. Quite often we get it so wrong, but such is life.
That single cloud in front of the sun, was an ominous sign as you will see later.
As usual the clouds were streaming in, and we knew what to expect.
This below is exactly what we expected, as another bout of rain was on its way.
I am so familiar with the weather here now, that I think they can employ me as a weather forecaster :)
In our area, we have a mountain called the Helderberg Mountain, and it gives me big tips on how the weather will play out for the day and the next day. A funny thing happens with this mountain, as on one day in the cold Winter, it feels on that day like Summer. This happens when the hot Berg winds from the deserts start blowing over the mountain. It feels like hot Summer when one steps outside, in the middle of Winter. It is like someone left an aircon on outside. Also, the density of the cloud on this mountain will tell me how much rain is expected. It will also give a hint as to when to expect it. In my younger days, I used to be an avid freshwater fisherman, practicing catch-and-release principles, and that's where I started to learn a lot about the weather. So, the habit has remained.
I hope you have enjoyed the pictures and the story.
