We will ignore how long it has been since I’ve posted anything and get straight into it. A few weekends ago we missioned off to the Cederberg to celebrate a friends birthday. This is the second year we have done this and this year was as much fun, if not more than the last. What […]

Last week I spent a wonderful morning with The Wam (aka my Mom) at the Clay Cafe. Now if you haven’t heard of this before let me fill you in. Based in Hout Bay this is a wonderful creative space. Booking is essential as it gets rather busy. Once you’ve settled into your table and […]
No no dear readers, there is no new man in my life – the Rik man is still very much in the picture. Nic Harry is all about socks! And socks for dudes no less. You may be asking me why I (a woman) am so obsessed with socks for men, well I’ll tell you […]

Introducing my latest kitchen tool – meet Nessie. She loves to hang out in a big bowl of soup. She looks great in any pot and compliments plenty of colours! Cute isn’t she?

Out having fun that’s where! Sheesh, life she has been busy. Not even sure where to start. Apologies for the lack of writing, as you can imagine my brain is in need of a serious word vom! But I’ll save that for another day. Some new and exciting things which are cause for celebration and […]
