Missing month of September!
I remembered what happened to September! It went by in a whirligig of puppies and agricultural shows...
Every year, agricultural shows are held in the main centres around Namibia (not too many then!) and we always go to promote CCF and predator-friendly farming. And as I'm sure you can imagine, this doesn’t always go so well, as we aren’t liked by certain sections of the farming community. What? I hear you cry! Surely ...
Escape artists!
