How time is flying !! .. and she is growing up so quickly and getting cuter by the day !! I haven’t taken photos of our little Emma Rose for months .. and months … to be precise since our family holiday with Elaine and Bryan, and Emma, who was 8 months old at that time. I am …
I have been out of blogging action for a long, long time !! Since May last year to be exact. That’s when my camera went on the blink. Added to that I went into anxiety and grief mode needing the help of a psychologist again. I needed help 8 years ago and was under her guidance for …
Following on from my previous post – the rustic chapel, our last stop within Lake Eland Game Reserve – let me go back to the beginning of our lovely morning with my cousin Barry as our driver. He’s been there umpteen times 🙂 It’s quite amazing to think that the Oribi Gorge is a mere 40min drive inland from Port Shepstone on the …
We had a family gathering last Sunday .. Easter Sunday. Our plan was a picnic in the park but rain clouds gathered and thought it best to stay at home. As it turned out it didn’t rain! We did, however, have a super day munching our picnic food at home. I could kick myself actually. …
It is school holidays. Bradley is away at a rugby camp and Connor is at home with a friend which means I don’t have the responsibility of grandchildren this afternoon.

One more, the last to be exact, stepping back to November last year post.

Rain was a welcome relief for drought stricken Cape but didn’t last long sadly. Emerald green lawns greet visitors at the car …
As I mentioned in my previous post we picked the wrong day for lunch and wine tasting at Idiom Wines in Somerset West as it was closed to the public for a function. Hubby and I, with our niece Daniella, had been to Ernie Els Wine Estate in November last year on a chilly rainy day (blog post still …
Lourensford Wine Estate with a mountainous backdrop, not only has excellent wines and wine tasting, a super restaurant and a very good coffee shop but also has a beautiful indigenous garden. On our last visit in November last year I noticed quite a lot of new plantings of borders and beds. Just a few months later and …
Following on from my last post, we made our way back to Stellenbosch from Franschhoek to Rust en Vrede, one of our favourite wine estates. Having the estate’s sirloin steak lunch served with salad, chips and a glass of their delicious Syrah was a must for Gavin and Kathy who had experienced this deliciousness two years …
