Description
The lions of Bona Bona in South Africa are alive and well, even Skewebek ("scewed mouth") the cantankerous male and the white lion cubs! It was feared that all the lions had been sold due to the new legislation in South Africa.
In the same spirit I offer condolences to the families affected by the MPLS bridge collapse. May the sun shine on you soon and may time bring healing in your hearts.
Thank you for your support, visits and comments, I love you all.
