Stuff about things I adore
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 […]
Oh boy am I lucky, I am starting a collection of crockery that I (and most people who see them) covet. I am the proud owner of 4 plates and 6 bowls from the very talented Mariana Serfontein Pottery. Rik’s mom has spoilt us with these treasures and I absolutely adore setting the table with […]
As with all good intentions, they are what they are … good intentions – not necessarily what the result is. I have been awfully quiet this year and have meant to blog, but life has happened and I haven’t found the time. So forgive me … all I can do is try (although is anyone […]
It may not seem like it, but Christmas is one of my most favourite times of the year. To be fair the last few years I have been slack with the Christmas vibes, hardly any presents were bought, no tree put up, very few Christmas parties and just a general slackness with my Christmassy spirit. […]

Isn’t this city just beautiful, within 20 minutes drive in any direction you’ll get to one of the most magnificent views anywhere. I only have to look out of my window at home to see my view; a take a short drive to see a stunning Sea Point Sunset or perhaps go on a hike […]
Winter is going to be a cracker this year, I’m already almost in full arctic gear after suffering from the flu for the last two weeks. Note to self try to pack in loads of vitamin C before the cold hits next year. Anyhoo, I need to share my winter must have. Fingerless gloves! Say […]
Now perhaps you remember J&S of nose flute fame? Well it was time for their wedding! Yippeeeee and what a wonderful celebration it was. I had the honour of being one of the chuppah holders, which is a Jewish tradition, you may have seen it before, but just not known what it was called. It’s […]
