Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
This week has been full of chaos and stress and fabulous things, I am like a yoyo. Next week I will be in George visiting Lily, Amelia, Josh and Trevor. I am looking forward to it so much! Last Sunday Norm and I were booked for lunch at Veldt DBE with Wesley, Caitlin and Bree. …
It is stress or change which drives most growth. Kim, the guy who helps in the garden, was here and we discussed how to manage the tree by the pool where the roots are cracking the pavement. He said we should just cut the whole tree down. He said that if we cut off a …
I keep seeing people posting threads about 'what weird thing did you do as a kid you thought was 'normal' but was absolutely due to neurodiversity'? So many things I have not thought about in years are bubbling up to the surface. I am trying to be like water and imagine my mermaid self , …

Children in Cape Town are so spoiled for activities to do. Some of them cost money, but many of them offer discounted days. Lily and I took Amelia to Two Oceans Aquarium on Saturday afternoon and we had hoped the beautiful weather would mean that it would be quiet, but it was rammed. There was …
Many of you know about my dirty little not-so-secret addiction to reality TV and how a phrase often gets 'stuck'. This week the little phrase that kept echoing was about "not letting someone steal your peace". I heard it on "The Valley". Even for my low bar, this series is pretty bad. It is about …
Do you ever have one of those days where it seems every thing is coming at you all at once and nothing goes smoothly? Monday before last, Norm had booked the plumber and the electrician to come and I had booked Chichi to come and clean and Kim to come and work in the garden. …
