"The more you reach for the unknown, the broader your comfort zone becomes. The broader your comfort zone becomes, the more of the world you encompass. The more of the world you encompass, the more your fears are transformed into courage.
And courage is all you need. It’s better to shoot for a difficult target and miss, than to perpetually hit easy targets and stagnate, because even when you’re missing you’re still growing. And growth is the essence of the journey being the thing. Allow the journey to be the thing and adventure and immanence will surely be yours."

Jan Hendrik offers a fun and uplifting solution for eating while on lockdown – always such an inspiration this chef!
His solution? LOCKDOWN MEAL PLAN

“Shower yourself with options. You don’t have to eat three square meals a day, but when you eat, make sure you enjoy it! There’s nothing like the comfort of home cooking (or conquering a new recipe) to lift your spirits.
So, I got together with my teams in South Africa and France and came up with a plan for the next 14 days. And I have to say that I’m inspired! It’s just so nice not to have to think about what I’m going to eat for the next fortnight. I literally just have to look at this menu and pick and choose a meal. If I can’t find a particular ingredient, no problem. There’s plenty more to choose from. And why not experiment? Try making it another way. Change things up, share your recipes with friends (or share them with me!). Nothing brings us together quite like food. So, let’s get cooking! ‘’

LOCKDOWN MEAL PLAN — JAN the Journal It’s official. This is TOUGH! I mean, scavenging the shops for whatever they’ve got left, trying to figure out what to cook to stay nourished, more or less healthy, and sane (don’t forget that last one), is a tall order. But what we make of this time is what is most important. And don’t worr...

Report just received from a friend:
The floodwaters of the Zambezi have hit Victoria Falls and Kariba - the river has risen quickly and the lake is starting to fill. This is the biggest flood since 1977/78, which is the biggest flood since records started in the sixties. However, there is now a second wave coming through Chavuma (on the Angola/Zambia border) which looks as big as the first wave. The difference is the Barotse flood plain is now full and this wave will sweep over it. All the water will be channelled through to the Falls and into Kariba. I predict this will be the biggest flood since the Kariba Dam wall floods of 1958. Kariba will probably fill.
The sad news is with this disastrous Covid-19, there will only be a few locals to witness what will be one of the greatest shows put on by the Zambezi!!
