Tin is where you find it

Yes, until SD was given the chance of running a tin mine. They say tin is where you find it, well, this was as fasr into the veldt as the copper mine had been, only it was in the bushveldt, all lush and green, with honey birds that hovered at the blossom. The company built pools for senior staff but water was scarce in the bush and we were given a barbeque instead, or maybe it was new carpets. We had a lovely time and met some really interesting people, The man next door was collecting the lead cover on wine bottles for a keel for a keelboat he intended to build so the social life was full of interest. We made friends and played tennis. There was a hotel on the property so I didn't have to do much catering and could just relax and join in the fun. SD insists on having a picture of me. For this, which us concerned with us nomading around, it should be one where we're busy packing or unpacking but he likes this one.
