Farm Life

This was my welcome recently when I visited a South African farm. It was a small home, rooms without doors, no bathroom or toilet, and no electricity or water (a tap / faucet about fifty yards distant outside). The first time that I visited here, and asked after the bathroom, everyone laughed. When I asked after the toilet, someone pointed out of a window, where I saw nothing but veld. OBSERVATION: Many people think that such conditions on farms are history. In my own experience, I have never seen anything else (except in the farmstead).
