I love sunrises over a calm sea where the soft light dances on waves as a golden glow stretches on the horizon when at last a speck of bright gold pops up, growing larger as the seconds pass until a ball of dazzling orange-gold seemingly sits for just a moment on the sea before it rises. I breathe deeply .. and calmly. I embrace this moment…every day We have …
This is my last blog post on our weekend in early Feb, celebrating my 60+ birthday. Hubby and I had a fabulous weekend as we usually do. As I mentioned in my first post, we’ve been going to The Cavern for the past 18 years and every time are welcomed with friendliness, super accommodation and deliciously …
A hop, step and a jump from our room at The Cavern is the beginning of the Nature Trail. If you follow the trail a short distance then take the path to the right you end up beside the river in full view of a beautiful waterfall, the sound of which can be heard from the comfort of our room. …
Our last day at The Cavern with rain expected later began with blue skies followed by a light cloud cover. Hubby and I decided not to venture too far due to the forecast of rain so walked part of the Nature Trail towards Mays Falls, took a detour around the falls ..crossing the mountain stream at another …

Overnight rain during our first night at The Cavern was lovely. So different hearing the rain outside and on a thatched roof from the usual Highveld storms we get at home, but it can make hiking, even shorter trails, a bit slippery. We chose not to do the longer guided hike but rather walked at …
Ooops .. I went a little ahead of myself with the last blog post !! How could I have possibly missed some Emma piccies !!!! Well I did, so here they are. Poor little munchkin had a problem with her skin when our weather jumped from winter to summer, breezing past Spring at a rate of knots !!! Hubby …
This is Emma Rose at 7 weeks. Our little munchkin will be 10 weeks tomorrow !!!! I wouldn’t be a devoted granny if I omit sharing some photographs I had taken a couple of weeks ago. I have been a busy bee! I have had a brief trip down to the Cape for special family time as well as …
Glorious rain on Friday afternoon, 20mm to be exact, left the garden damp and easy to work yesterday. It was rather hot in the latter part of the morning but I kept to the shady spots to plant plugs of lawn. I have various lawns now in the garden .. the strongest and fittest will …
