Sunset over Mt. Meru, from my verandaI count myself lucky - very lucky - to be living in such a beautiful part of this world.
When I look out my windows, I have Africa's highest mountain, Mt. Kilimanjaro, to one side and Africa's 5th highest peak, Mt. Meru, to the other. I vowed when we moved here, to never ever take this for granted - but sometimes, I admit, I do. Some days I am too busy, or stressed, or otherwise occupied to look up and see the beauty around me. But I know it's always there ....
Surprisingly, Kilimanjaro does not look that high. She is a freestanding mountain, perhaps that's why. She is permanently capped in snow (which, sadly, is rapidly diminishing as the years go by) and her shape - with the snow on the top - always reminds me of a huge Christmas pudding covered in brandy butter .... yum !
This photo was taken at sunset yesterday, from my veranda.
Tomorrow I'll be posting a really easy recipe for scones which can be made up in a matter of minutes !
