Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
We had so much fun and a lot of chaos during our visit to George in the Western Cape. I flew down with my daughter Caitlin and her daughter Bree on Friday after work. Bree was so good on the flight, barely made a peep and happily chomped on our Chicken Tikka sandwiches (the best …
As a person who loves fancy dress, Halloween has always been my favourite holiday. It is only the last year or two that Norm and I have not had a party or at least attended one. As well as my love of dressing up, I am always conscious that this time of year the veil …
This past week was a bit transformative for me. I mentioned in my last post that I was going for derma blading, but after chatting to my skin therapist, we opted for a light peel and a session with the dermapen instead.

It is so easy to take miraculous things for granted. We often live our lives in a predictable pattern, wake at the same time, eat the same things, watch the same TV shows, shop in the same places, relate to people the same ways and go to bed at the same time. I try so …
It is just unbelievable how much renovation disrupts your home, your routines and your mental state. My mental state is very much influenced by disorganisation.

There was a rainbird aka a Burchell's Coucal, which makes the funniest sounds as a warning of rain. There was the black African …
After such a beautiful day last Saturday, on Sunday the weather turned again and we woke to rain that morning. Norm and I had planned on having a wander around the garden centre as I had a voucher to spend, but I did not fancy roaming around in the rain so we decided to postpone …
I mentioned that April is a month of many public holidays in South Africa and it was lovely having 3 days off last weekend and another day off on Thursday and nothing to do except whatever I wanted to do. I did a lot of gardening in the mornings on the first two days while …
I have been Head of the House all week as Norm was away in Ghana until yesterday. I often say I hate having responsibilities, that they give me anxiety as I always feel like I am forgetting something. Sort of like when you wake up late and you feel like you need to hurry all …
