Winter is well and truly here. It's been peeking through sporadically but it's rained and been so cold all week. It's impossible to use an umbrella due to the hectic winds in Cape Town. Even with a hooded raincoat one gets drenched getting to and from the car. Winter is not pleasant. And then we …

Back In Black
One of the few advantages of so much load shedding is that it gives me a legit excuse to go out for dinner. Not that I've ever needed an excuse, but still, it's nice to be legit. We are in the middle of being load shed as I write this, at least WordPress is still …
Painting in the Dark
On Saturday morning Lily drove back to George to spend her last week as a lady of leisure with Josh and Norm arrived home from his trip to the UK on Tuesday. We were all very pleased to see him as we missed him and it also means one more body to share the load …
Old Becomes New
Living in a tourist town and having such a constant stream of visitors I thought I was familiar with every bit of Hout Bay. Today I discovered several delights I hadn't yet experienced. We had spotted a lady selling her outside seating, cushions and table on the Hout Bay 2nd hand site. We loved the …

What an odd week I've had. Norm has been away since last Sunday. It's so hard to do everything on my own. Usually we ask Lily to be here but this is her last week to be in George as she starts her new job soon. She is going to be working for a concierge …

The elections were the first national elections where everyone of voting age of over 18 from any race group was allowed to vote. Even women 😉.It …
Keeping Watch
Tonight is date night. I'm not sure where we are going yet but we have plenty of options in Hout Bay.It's been a bit overcast and chilly today. The weather has suddenly shifted in Cape Town, one week it is so hot we are still sitting by the pool and wearing flip flops and then …
Blessings
Today i had a moment of such deep gratitude. When it is our life we just accept it but today I had a moment where I just felt so blessed. I was sitting by the pool while the animals all chased each other and Norm repotted some plants. I just felt like I could not …
