One Foot In Each Camp: "We don't set out deliberately to live in two places at once. It's just that when it looks like happening, we don't make a serious effort to stop it.

MKH Dog Pack Status Report: "I can't remember how many dogs there were when I sent my first article to BritishExpat.

When the security guard from up the road arrived to find out what the argument was about, he was beaten up by the 'treecutter'." Mike Kingdom-Hockings writes about his life with a pack of dogs in deepest Botswana!
