This tree was apparently in danger of falling on our house, so he (yes he, not it) had to be chopped down. What a shame! It took a whole lot of people, planning, time and heavy duty equipment to get the job done and all that is left now, is this sorry stump below. I've decided to give it a second life by planting a bougainvillea at the base so hopefully it will look nice again in the not too distant future and once again be home to some interesting creatures.
My name is Elna Louw and I live in the middle of the African bush on a copper mine site in Lumwana, Zambia. My husband Pierre is the Finance Director for the project. We are South African and have been expating since 2000. Over the past 9 years we have lived in Tanzania, Australia and now Zambia. Before we left SA I was employed by Ernst & Young Johannesburg as a Project Manager. I loved my job but being out here in the middle of nowhere (or is it the centre of the universe) is fantastic. This blog is about my life here.
