Last year I published The San's Promise by Rethabile Masilo on Bolts of Silk. I'm delighted that the poem was chosen to represent Lesotho in a recent BBC Scotland project to feature poetry from all the countries represented in the Olympics. You can hear Rethabile's poem here, read by Teboho Mohapi.

Hi Juliet. With reference to your comment on sparrow hawks, I think you will find that you have the male a female mixed up - the female is the larger. See John (By Stargoose and Hanglands)'s comment - I tend to agree with him.
ReplyDeleteAn exhibit showing plants and crafts from the region of the Garden of Eden sounds like a fascinating event. I guess that's why they call it Paradise Restored.
ReplyDeleteThe Royal Botanic Gardens, how I remember them...
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing them again.
Weaver - yes you're right.
