I heard today that we have some reclusive neighbours. They live just beyond a grove of trees near the house. Considering how remote we are, it’s strange that we have nothing to do with these Belgian recluses. Their 27 acres of property is completely surrounded by our 3,000 acres.
Ten years ago this property was bought by the government and handed back to native people of the area. The family I’m living with are the custodians of the land and the father is a prominent member of the local indigenous group. When the family first came to live here ten years ago, the Belgians came to the door and in an angry confrontation said “You remember, we were here first.”
The family thinks that was hilarious. But obviously, they aren’t planning on asking them over for a cup of tea.
