B and I spent the long weekend on a drive around the Northern Cape, visiting the sites of the Anglo-Boer war. Our families played a large part in the second war for independence, especially in this area, and the names of our families are displayed on almost every memorial.
It was a moving experience, especially the memorial and museum to the women and children who died in the concentration camps.
