At the top of Higgo Road (1 Higgo Rd), just below Kloof Neck Rd is a heritage cottage similar to the one I restored and in which I am living, which is being allowed to disintegrate to the point, I assume, that the developers, who purchased the semi-detached cottages from the Dennis family, can argue for its demolition in order to replace it with a palatial structure similar to most of the other houses recently built in Higgo Vale, and that now fetch well over R10M a piece.
Note. This is a place-holder for my theme: Higgo Vale then and now which will explore heritage vs development.

Writers who help me make sense of my world
My concerns are a deadness consuming our planet, and tyranny. I believe the two are related, in that at their core is the human species, you and I.

Consequently I live entirely in my head, being unable to feel anything. The extracts quoted below speak in their individual ways to these themes.
