Because somehow I dressed up exactly like it, without knowing that it would have pink swirls on it this time. We must be soul mates. There is no better way to end off a proper birthday weekend than with High Tea with your closest friends, and those who could make it joined me at the …
I found these old photos and had to share them. We had such a great time doing these one cold wintery night, armed with boxes of sparklers and matches. This was taken with a very low shutter speed (about 7 seconds), which means that the shutter snaps open and records everything the light touches (and …
The arts & crafts season has officially begun at Kirstenbosch! It’s held on the last Sunday of every month during summer. Here are some pics of my stall. Other crafters:
Finally we made our debut on the High Tea scene! It was everything I’d hoped for. Gorgeous Victorian decor and a huge selection of delectable treats. Saturdays and Sundays 2:30 – 5:00pm @ R185. A large variety of tea to choose served in pretty glass teapots, and coffee, which are both included in the cover …
La Pineta is a restaurant situated in a pine forest and is part of a stunning wedding venue. It’s further than we would usually venture in the quest of culinary delight but it was well worth it! The drive was part of the adventure and I was able to get some heart-shaped bokeh shots along …

On Saturday I had lunch at Truffle. It was a very Big Deal, for two reasons: I met with three good friends and it was the first we were all together, in one place, since high school. It was my first baby-free outing in almost eight months! Coordinating our schedules isn’t easy, with twelve kids … Continue reading
My sister was in town recently and on the morning of her departure we decided to do brunch at Pearl Spoon. It’s situated on Belvedere Road, next to Snoekies and Caltex. I’ve passed it a few times and gazed at their menu on the blackboard at the entrance but never had the chance until now. … Continue reading
Hello. How are you? I’ve been neglecting my blog for so long. Every time I have a new post to add I think, how can I just post out of the blue? So then I put it off and hope for a better day. Well, it’s been happening since last year November and I thought … Continue reading
Hello! It’s been about five months since my last post, and I had no idea it’s been so long. I thought this gorgeous weekend away would be an ideal way to get back into regular blogging… Remember last year in Winter when I posted about a weekend away at Elandskloof Farm? (Here and here) We … Continue reading
On a cold morning in May I opened the door to a very special delivery. Ice cream! It wasn’t just any ice cream, but the new decadent Magnum Pint all wrapped up in a cosy box of treats. I had previously selected the flavour (Chocolate, of course) and a DVD title according to genre. It … Continue reading

On Saturday we met the loveliest lady at Giraffe House. The tall, gentle and exquisitely beautiful Gerry. We stood and watched mesmerized as she towered above us, swaying back and forth with such grace. It was by chance that we ended up at the farm/zoo in Stellenbosch, after driving all the way to the strawberry … Continue reading
I’ve heard all about the wonderful ways you can substitute potatoes with cauliflower, like mash and rice, but it never appealed to me. Until I came across the stir-fried ‘rice’, and decided to give it a try. Low-carb, gluten free , Paleo friendly, AND affordable! The first time I made this, nobody knew it was … Continue reading
Happy New Year! I hope you all had a lovely break this festive season and all well rested and fresh for 2014. Inevitably, with a new year comes a new list of resolutions. And of course I already broke one (definitely the one about healthier eating). I decided to get it out of the way … Continue reading
