While we were waiting for the Vetrinary Course to join us, Bruce found a Wild Cucumber which he brought across for us to see.
The Latin name is Cucumis Metuliferus and inside this spikey skin, it is similar to the cucumber you get in a store. It is more bitter and the book I read says that means it has purgative and emetic properties. Local people use it for the pain following childbirth. You can also eat the leaves of the creeper, boiling them like spinach. I think the look of it is enough for me !

Hi, that was such a great video. The light was amazing, such a fantastic orange and the reflection off the water, really beautiful hey. Where is it where this footage was taken?

This was filmed on Malilangwe Reserve in Zimbabwe.
Thanks
Just loved Sandpipers in Gold. So evocative and moody. And sitting here in a cold and wet UK it didn’t half have me hankering after an African Sunset……maybe with a cool drink thrown in. Thanks for sharing the warmth of the African bush!

What you doing in the UK? Thought you were in Oz? Kim
I’m certainly particularly ecstatic as i look for this post. It all is made of many newer remarks who are pretty valuation. I can get more ideas out of this posting. It happens to be okay.
