#TravelChatSA gives rise to #gotmyjam campaign

About two weeks ago I shared a post about a notable midweek event {#TravelChatSA} that have become the highlight of my week since my introduction to it in August 2014.

A member of the #TravelChatSA community and co-host of the #FarmstallsSA chat, @WiseWally, had a most amazing idea while we were discussing the fruits of our own valleys.
In short, he proposed to send me one of his local farm stalls’ jams and on receipt I had to post a pic to Twitter with the hash tag #gotmyjam and #TravelChatSA. His account of how the idea for #gotmyjam got started and how it unfolded is very entertaining, and well worth a read.

Thereafter I could choose a worthy recipient from the #TravelChatSA community {as all of them fell into that category I did the next best thing. I closed my eyes and used the @Travelogx selfie of the #FarmstallsSA chat to do a blind point and choose}.

And so, the next recipient has been chosen and soon another jam would have traveled the length of our beautiful country.

Recently, and when I say recently I mean June 2014, I started to explore the world (that's the area known as The Lowveld in the province of Mpumalanga, South Africa for my foreign friends) around me through photography. With my trusted Samsung S21+ and Nikon, I am learning to use what is available at hand to discover small wonders and hidden gems. I am amazed at the wonder that lies beyond my lens. In a way it's a reminder that this is not all there is; what truly matters is invisible to the human eye.
