Yes I know - haven't written anything for a while. Well, during this "quiet" period, we had a nice "outdoor kitchen" built for Pierre on our back verandah. I decided that he makes too much of a mess when he prepares fillets, etc for a "braai" so I've thrown him out. He's a messy cook - splatters blood everywhere, drips soya sauce and the likes all over the place, etc, etc - you know what I mean.
So here is what his special place looks like - complete with a bar counter for the boys. It is called PIERRE SE PLEK which translates to Pierre's Place. We had its inauguration (or commissioning as Harry called it) a couple of weeks ago. I'm sure we're going to have many more wonderful gatherings out here in future.
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.
