Whilst the builders were repairing the exterior cracks on the old farmhouse walls, I watched for a while & pondered on who built the house over 100 yrs ago. I look at the irregular-shaped bricks that are still standing & weathered so many rough Karoo storms! What did they look like? Where did they originate from? What did they see as they stretched their tired bodies & crane their necks, as they stared across the veld? Did they spot any wild animals, bushmen, redcoats on horseback or Boers sitting atop their wagons? For a while I dream & my mind drifts back into a distant, quiet past, where springbok roamed freely.....
