![]() Anyway, the waitress came and joined us and asked me if I would like to go out for dinner with her that night. I insisted I was there to watch England beat Scotland in the rugby Calcutta Cup on the big screen TV. My friends insisted she had come to see me. Late one Saturday afternoon our waitress came to the bar on her day off. I will have to write something about Neil at some point, but for now he remains a friend who scored a century at Lords in a Cricket World Cup. The young lady (and may I say excellent waitress) was a childhood neighbour of, Neil, who I was staying with in Durban. In the words of a song ‘she was working as a waitress in steak & beer bar when I met her’. In those days, the steak came on one plate and the chips and salad on another. This mainly consisted of drinking Castle lager and eating 1000gm T-bone steaks. I spent many hours in the Cattleman Restaurant on the beach-front socialising. On my very first trip to Durban, I met a young lady. So many moments, some fleeting, to look back on, and all worth a mention even if they do not make their own individual story. Over the last twenty-five plus years of travels to South Africa and the province of KwaZulu Natal there have been so many smiles and so much laughter. Putting into words some of my travel moments which I can look back on and laugh. During lock down here at home in middle England, as you may know, I have been hitting the lap-top keys in an effort to make you smile.
