Well the answers are many and varied, wonderful weather, amazing people, gentle lifestyle ...... (oops unable to say that too often these days !!) One thing that has always astonished to me is the gradual downward slide that has occurred in this country. If we had gone to sleep as life was in 1980, the war of independence was over, those who had left had already left, life was tenable if not darn good. But if we had woken up the next day, and found Zimbabwe as it is today, we would undoubtedly have packed and been gone within a week..... It was the gentle and gradual slide of the nicer things in life, that passed us by, as they happened oh so slowly , and as we got used to one horror, so another arrived to eclipse the previous one. Somehow thirty years down the line, we are still on the downward spiral, the only difference is that the spiral is not gradual anymore , it is pretty well perpendicular and instead of scrabbling around a bit trying not to slip down the slope, we are all hanging on by our veritable fingernails, our feet dangling precariously, flailing madly, in mid air. "Meltdown" is a favourite by -word these days, "economic collapse"... .. is it here ? surely, has it happened and we did not notice because of its slow insidious tentacles enfolding us all and dragging us down into te quick sand ? I tried to visualise a country "collapsing" I closed my eyes and I saw buildings in ruins, bricks and mortar tumbled around like those boulders at the Giants Causeway at Maleme Dam. I envisaged, slow hordes of people pushing scanias along the Beitbridge Road, their pitiful bundles piled inside, photos, albums, precious papers, with Aunty Bettys ashes perched on the top in a wooden casket. (I always did have an over active imagination !!) The movie "Gone with the wind" springs to mind, as I remember the scene where the blood covered soldiers tramped home in their droves, bandages on their heads, ragged grey overcoats bloodstained and in complete tatters. ( Oh yes I have always had a very vivid imagination to say the least !!) The once beautiful homestead called "Tara" is in the background and it is a blackened ruin with smoke pyres rising into the grey skies....... .. And yes while this very scene has indeed happened to many of the folk in this country, farmers, villagers, businessmen even Members of Parliament, have all had to cope with the destruction of their lives and their livelihoods. Countless lives have been lost, countless lives have been ruined, the country has still not officially collapsed. Some say it is the money from the "diaspora" that is keeping us going ...... it is certainly not the economy, as that is definitely in tatters. Banks collapse don't they ? Certainly three of the biggest banks in Zimbabwe had the collywobbles last month as the monthly wages for some of Zimbabwe's companies launched into the trillions and the banks computers just could not cope. Hundreds of people were not paid. We waited for three weeks for money to arrive in our bank !! What comes after trillions ? Quadrillions are next and then quintillions ? That is obviously why we did Latin at school, so we could count our money...... What would one take if one had to make a run for the border, I mused, would I take my photos,? Precious documents certainly like birth certificates etc. Jewelry of course and not much else as there would be no room on the scania or donkey cart !! Most of our systems have already collapsed ... power provision is erratic , water provision is inadequate. Formal fuel supplies are non existent, utility bills do not arrive and have to be called for.... cell phones are frustrating to the point of mass murder and the road repair system is faltering steadily. Money supply is appalling, commodities in the shops are non existent and yet we stay, we have our own systems which have replaced those that should be provided by the government and the municipalities, (and for which we still pay exorbitant taxes !!) And yet we stay on, .... are we too old to move ? Too scared ? Too inured with memories of life as it was in days gone by ? For many folk in Zimbabwe life has probably not changed at all. The rural folk never had anything before and they still have nothing, their lack of potable water is nothing new, they never had electrification, they always grew their own crops and really very little has changed in their lives except that their bellies gnaw a lot more now than they used to ...... On the other hand there are many who have gained obscene wealth from the largesse system. Now being a capitalist, I have no problem with wealth, but when one has become enormously wealthy at the expense of the country, that is a problem which leaves a bad taste in one's mouth. My cheque book is just far too small !! How does one write a cheque containing fourteen digits in the miniscule space provided, one's writing has to become minute to say the least. The largest cheque one can write as we speak is nine hundred and ninety nine billion, nine hundred and ninety nine million, nine hundred and ninety nine thousand dollars and ninety nine cents !! So as dinner for three on Tuesday night at a local restaurant was one trillion three hundred billion dollars, we had to write two cheques for the pleasure !! Mind you this was only about sixty US dollars but horrors with all those zeros !! But we still have our friends, our lovely homes, our animals, our beautiful gardens..... . some if us lucky ones at least have these things, many are living lives of desperation and quiet suffering. It is too awful to go to a shop these days and see the grim faces of the elderly and the poor, shaking their heads in bewilderment, trying in vain to count the zeros on the few goods that are available on the shelves. However many of our lively youngsters are adamant that Zimbabwe is the only place they wish to spend the rest of their lives !! The glorious outdoors are still glorious, where on earth in the world can you spend every weekend fishing, camping, boating and enjoying life's simple pleasures. There is a very active mountain biking club, a Matopos Conservation Club, Boy Scouting still has a very strong place in Bulawayo, we have ardent bird watchers too, and life somehow goes on ..... The horrors of the first world are far away, we cannot afford video games, we have no arcades and malls to "hang out" in. Porn, drugs and the like are quite far removed from this country and instead the youngsters take advantage of a lifestyle that is simple and carefree in the extreme.

I know that all Northleans who knew him and who were taught and guided by him over the years loved and admired him very much. His enormous contribution and impact on our lives during those wonderful school days in Rhodesia and later in South Africa will, I'm sure, be vividly treasured and always remembered. The Service for Ray will be held on Saturday 28 June 2008 at Bishops Memorial Chapel, Camp Ground Road, Rondebosch, Cape Town at 2.00 PM. Please send messages of condolences to Joan Suttle and the Suttle family via me at john@marinasa. co.za and I will make sure to get them to her. Please include your name and contact details at the bottom of your emails. As you know Ray and Joan were Zimbabwe Pensioners, which means that they virtually had no Pension income from Zim at all. If you would like to make a contribution to Joan and in memory of Ray please let me know as I am setting up a Fund for Joan. Please be assured that I will collect all contributions, pay them immediately to Joan, will keep account of receipts and payments to Joan and account fully to all who contribute.

It is not only individuals and families but school and community groups who have become regular visitors. Recently the braai area was redeveloped and a small childrens' playing centre has been created near the tearoom. The last has proved to be extremely popular with youngsters and we wish to develop it further. If you can assist with old playground equipment please let us know. We will arrange to collect and recondition where necessary. On other areas things are progressing, albeit a little slower than we may have hoped. Visitors will see that work has started on revamping the old tea room at the Lower Dam. We hope that it will be in use by the end of July. Initially it will operate over weekends (Friday-Sunday) and at other times by prior arrangement. A security boom is being erected at the Banff Road entrance. For this we are grateful to Nimr & Chapman. Eventually a small charge will be levied at the entrance to cover the costs of the guards who look after the cars. Annual membership cards will also be made available. We will keep you informed as we go along. At this time entry is free but is at your own risk. Please note that the boom will be closed from sunset to sun rise. We apologise to those late evening visitors but this is necessitated by security issues and requests from other stakeholders. The birdlife is still amazing, especially along the banks of the Dams where a combination of weedy thickets and emerging muds have attracted several smaller species. Look for the waders and various herons. The fish eagle paid us a visit last week but the white-faced duck have moved off to warmer climes. In their place a flock of Sacred Ibis have taken up residence at the Upper Dam. We aim to encourage the birdlife and promote interest in birding amongst the many visitors. With the onset of winter fishing has become less attractive but several of our regulars doggedly try their luck. A small fishing fee is charged and this goes towards the salaries of the staff and other expenses such as water and rates. However we are well short of the actual costs and must express our most sincere thanks to several companies and individuals who regularly assist in covering wages and make donations in cash and kind. The small crocodile in the Upper Dam (yes there is one and it is not just one of the many legavaan) seems to be becoming a little more brazen and we have had good sightings on several occasions over the last month. Please beware. In particular we are concerned where dogs have been encouraged to swim. The gardens are steadily being improved under the watchful eye of Mr. & Mrs te Velde. Several invasive species, most especially lantana have been removed. Latana had more or less taken over large areas along the stream between the two dams. We think we are winning but it will be a long struggle. A number of picnic spots in this section will be restored as soon as we have the manpower and materials. The lawns in front of the tearoom, subject to high visitor use over the weekends, are beginning to look a little worn. We are hoping to get reclaimed water from Bulawayo City Council and to borrow a small pump to draw water from the Lower Dam to water the grass. Can anyone assist? The Lower dam it is likely to dry up again by October but this will allow us to investigate and hopefully repair. The Aloe Garden has been revamped with most of the invasive plants removed and the old paths cleared. It is well worth a visit at this time as many of the aloes are flowering. The remaining plants will be regrouped and split later in the year once we get the first rains and they have finished flowering. Our thanks to Mr Roy Stephens who has volunteered to oversee the reorganisation and naming of the different species present. The website has been updated and now enables you to view The Hillside Dams from satellite.
