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

Magnum Pints
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
Giraffe House
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
Belgian Waffles at The Creamery
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
The Pink & Black Magnum Launch at Shimmy Beach Club
I was invited to attend Magnum SA’s Pink and Black launch party last week. Of course I was there. Ice cream launch? No brainer!

InstaLately
Hello. I just realized that I haven’t posted a single photo of chocolate or cake in over two weeks. Who am I? There is really very little time to be snap-happy this month due to Ramadan (which is passing by way too quickly) and also fitting in the Freshly Blogged challenge on a weekend. Also, … Continue reading
A Greyton Weekend Part II
Yesterday I got a call from a lady at the farm, letting me know that we forgot a pillow in the cottage and that she would make a plan to send it down to Cape Town. Isn’t that sweet? Of course I couldn’t let her go through all that trouble, but I appreciated the gesture. … Continue reading
