One of my key memories with my Grandmother is the time we spent in the garden. Or 'the yard' as she called it, despite her house sitting on 20 acres of land. My Grandmother Rena was full of superstitions and 'old wives tales' and I wish I had taken the time to write them all …

Growing Into It
I have had such a brilliant week! I mentioned that my daughter and granddaughter were staying with us so that she could be here to support her sister with her new baby. I have been looking after Amelia Ray when Lily goes to Caitlin's and she and I have had such fun. We have read …
The Flow of Family
Cape Town is such a place of extremes. This time it was the weather! This Saturday it is hot and summery and last Saturday the weather was horrendous in Hout Bay. Last Saturday Norm and the visitors took off about 9ish for Hermanus where the Annual Whale Festival was occurring. The thing about Cape Town …
Small But Perfectly Formed
This has been such a busy week! First of all, we still have our overseas visitors with us until next Monday. Last Monday I had to go back to work and Norm took his guests up Table Mountain. Apparently everyone in the entire province also decided to go at that time and Norm had to …

I have had such a busy week at work full of all day review meetings and analysis and documentation. I love both of the latter but am not too fond of the meetings aspect. I read so fast I have consumed the info on the screen and interrupted the presenter to give them my answer …
A Hundred Acres
My daughter Lily and granddaughter Amelia drove down from George on Thursday afternoon week before last. It was a 6 hour journey with Lily having to amuse Amelia and drive but they managed it. Lily was carting a truck full of things. She had loads of clothes to pass on to Caitlin that Amelia has …
Word of the Week
I often do a 'music video of the week' or a 'film/series of the week' recommendation in my posts, but I think I might need to add a 'Word of the Week' section because I am getting so many comments by people who identify with my latest explorations into various aspects of Neurodiversity. This week's …
Nurturing Touch & Sound
Do you ever have one of those days that just feels blissfully perfect from start to end? I did last Saturday. First of all the weather was clear so I could pray to the 7 Directions outside on my hill when I woke up. Then I attended our women's group from 9:00 until 12:30 and …
