A chef. An organic gardener. A forager. A writer. Living on a farm in the Zambezi Valley in Zambia. Owner, SavannaBel – Bush Gourmet. Blog: www.savannabel.com.
My name is Annabel Hughes Aston. Home is a corrugated tin box built on a concrete slab thrown under an old Mongongo tree on the Zambezi River escarpment, twenty-three kilometres upriver from the resplendent Victoria Falls in Zambia.
The tin box — a deceptive architectural wonder — is the creation of my husband Chris who, in an earlier time on his farm, was forced to build a place in which to live in 20 days. Its simplicity and openness allows for unfettered access to the natural world beyond. I find it inspirational. Mostly. There are no doors. The corrugated iron walls are articulated to allow for air to pass through unencumbered. And the rain during the wet months. And the heat. And the bugs.
