I have 2 dogs out here – not taken on me but inherited from another expat who was here years ago. These poor dogs must get serious cabin fever as although I live in a fairly big old rambling house, the compound it’s in is not so big. So as often as time allows I take the dogs for a long run just out of town.
The place is actually the land of an agricultural training college and gets busy on sunny weekends with picnicking Angolan families and young couples.
I am an early bird these days so tend to arrive way before the crowds which means the dogs can be let off the leash to race round like lunatics and go a swim in the lake.
Last weekend I was there particularly early, it was not too long after dawn. I stayed for ages watching as the sun came up and the light changed by the minute.
. These are pine trees…in Angola, in Africa!
It’s a really beautiful peaceful place in fact as I wandered round the muddy paths snapping away I felt quite homesick – it looked exactly like the English countryside and reminded me of home!
