We just did our Zoo Run this morning, and what an energising Sunday morning it has been!

Most of the time, it is our chauffeur who does our grocery shopping. But, whenever I have time, I love to do my own grocery shopping. I realise that it’s the closest activity we can get that resembles the pre-historic notion of hunting and gathering our own food from the nature. Our ancient male ancestors [...]
