"We don't set out deliberately to live in two places at once. It's just that when it looks like happening, we don't make a serious effort to stop it.

Mike Kingdom-Hockings writes about his life in Botswana while his wife is based in France.

MKH Dog Pack Status Report

"I can't remember how many dogs there were when I sent my first article to BritishExpat. Since then I have farmed one out to a friend who needed something more intimidating than their old Lassie-type sheltie.

When the security guard from up the road arrived to find out what the argument was about, he was beaten up by the 'treecutter'." Mike Kingdom-Hockings writes about his life with a pack of dogs in deepest Botswana!
