Over the last twenty years, life in McGregor has gone pretty much unchanged. Days are filled with walks in the hills, lounging at our cottage and warm meals with friends. During our brief visit to my hometown we engage in all our usual traditions: the Saturday morning market, a walk through Temenos and visiting our dear friends, Mira and Panina.

McGregor is an eclectic village in the Klein Karoo, South Africa. Settled between the Riviersonderend mountains in 1861, McGregor lies in a natural paradise of fynbos, scattering clouds and days dripping with sunlight.
