Oh, this is all too vivid. We would travel from Mooi River (never Mooirivier) to Estcourt, to school. The change in vegetation always fascinated me. The day in 1969 I entered Heidelberg Military Army Base my Englishness was shaken to its roots when it dawned on me that there were more of them than us. Natal never let you believe that this was the case.
