Sometimes it is just better to play it safe. Even with the lightning conductor masts approved this morning sometimes you still need that little extra…I will leave in a couple of hours and will return only in January. All has been organized so that site will be checked frequently and I will know the results but as I have learnt its better safe than sorry and this time the site will be kept safe by my very own Hamerkop bird.
The Hamerkop myth is a very interesting one. It is believed that lightning is caused by a nesting Hamerkop so in order to prevent lightning from striking it was usual to have a Medicine Man help you site your house, then to compliment this you would install a statue of one to fool other Hamerkops that your house is already taken.
I have never been much of a believer in anything but many times locals know better!
