I have a husband with the talent of telling a story that makes you visualise it as if you are right there in the moment.  He has made me laugh with his tales of fun events, mischievous behaviour with mates, or sad times during his career that included a period in the police force during the end of Apartheid in South Africa, when gruesome murders were at the order of the day.  As he grew up in the  Great Karoo, many stories will stem from the area and its people – Oom Stefaans being the first one.

I have decided to pen these down, and invite you to read them at http://sparletta.wordpress.com/

Hope you enjoy reading them as much as I do writing them.  Let me know what you think!
