    Today I learned (thanks to Scrambled Maps) that Rustenberg, South Africa has a street called Kremetart Avenue.

        Excellent!

        Checking Google Translate, I discover that in Afrikaans, it means baobab: "a short tree with an enormously thick trunk and large edible fruit. It can live to a great age."

        When I went to Unzoomed yesterday, I took one look and thought "I know this! I used to leave work and go for my tea in a pub in that corner, then walk across that square with the statue in the middle on that diagonal path, on my way to a better pub near the hotel!" For it was Bristol, and unsurprisingly I got it in one

          I think baobab fruit was touted at one time as one of these miracle foods that cures everything.

          This week I have been watching the latest series of Shetland, which aired shortly before Christmas last year. I like it but it's a bit like EastEnders - far too high a crime rate for me to want to visit.
