Colonial Man – from South Africa
J. mum has them inside her porch window . I keep passing them for years but never asked where did she get them from? Her house is filled with stuff like that, random finds. I guess that’s whom J. gets it from. So when we went to South Africa this November, I was pleasantly surprised to find them all over the place. In quirky street markets, in shops, on the side of the streets, on the motorways…just everywhere! What a joy!!! I had to have one! I had to have a few. I satisfied my-self with five in the end! And got the sixth one for Christmas.
Five are in my lounge, three on the window and two next to the telly. I really enjoy looking at them. My own piece of Africa. 🙂
