Eats, shoots and leaves

I say!

Well, it would have given me a frightfully clever blog entry title if Prince the hunter had eaten, shot the leopard and left. He certainly ate a lot, for someone with a slight build, and he has now left Kalimbuka to return to Blantyre. However, he did not shoot the leopard.

As there has been no sighting for three nights, and as the only spoor seems to indicate that the beast has returnd to the plateau, he decided to call it quits.

Prince said that the slight amount of mvula we've experienced recently may have persuaded the leopard to return to its previous territory. If it returns, and if there are any more sightings, I've to give him a call.













This is what the bush is like at the bottom of the garden here at Kalimbuka, over the boundary rope, so to speak, down at long on. The object in the foreground is a stand-pipe. Anything hit beyond it is a four or a six. Its much more dry just now than in this particular photograph, which was taken some time ago.

Now there is less fear of the leopard, we have retrieved the two missing balls.

I am glad there are no more sightings of the leopard. I hope he doesn't come back. That is a nice picture of the area below the garden.

Mingin! What a shame the leopard has gone! Still, I'm glad the Prince didn't shoot it. That boy should come to Blighty. He'd become head of Cricket Association with a name like Prince. Just like that! Hotboy
