Lady Grey


Straight from the Maglies Meander update to Lady Grey in the Eastern Cape. It is a return of sorts; Narina and I in Getaway years visited here for the Lesotho story. The town is divided into upper and lower parts, with the Arts Academy something of a bridge, trying to unite rich and poor, inevitably black and white. At the top of town just before the start of Joubert's Pass is Heleen du Preez's home. An artist and teacher, she is getting over her husband's death from cancer and readjusting to life in a small town all over gain. Her studio (above) is an inspirational space.
