Lynne's great-uncle, James Jarché, published a book of portraits he had made entitled "People I Have Shot". This is a selection of birds, animals, places and landscapes that I have shot since 2002 in the beautiful land that I love so much - and one or two other places

There was a devastating fire on Table Mountain. After helping friends whose home was threatened, I came home to help Lynne finish preparing that week's MENU.
