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 …
Caitlin and Bree and I are flying down to George today for Lily's 'Sprinkle' which is what you call a celebration of your second child. Apparently they can use their siblings left overs and only deserve a tiny head wetting. This is sarcasm before anyone gets offended. In fact I was recently told that my …
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. A dermapen is specific brand of an automated micro-needling device that uses an …
I discovered a tiny little caterpillar who is the culprit eating one of my plants. I picked the entire leaf off and put him with his leaf on the concrete on the other side of the fence by the rubbish bins. I do not want to kill him. Even slugs or snails are still Mother …
The bestest news ever was announced in our family this week. My youngest daughter Lily is due with her second child in January and she and Josh just discovered it is a boy! That gives them one of each gender and will be the first grandson to join the tribe. We are so excited. Last …

I had a surreal experience this week. Last Sunday was Father's Day and I posted a tribute to my Dad who died before my children were born. I sat thinking about him a lot over Sunday and Monday, wishing that I had videos of him to show my kids and grandkids and sad that I …
Last Saturday night we were invited to dinner with my daughter Caitlin and son in law Wesley. Poppy went with us and she was so well behaved and did not get car sick this time. She lay in my lap like a perfect little princess on the way there and back. Maybe she is outgrowing …
In addition to all of the usual birds, butterflies and my lizards, on Sunday my backyard safari sightings were even more thrilling. First I had a wee squirrel come and sit in the tree for what felt like ages. Watching back I realise it was not as long as it felt at the time but …
Time flies by so quickly, I also find that the older one gets, the more it seems to accelerate. I was ill with my stomach for 3 weeks so avoided everyone in case of germ transfer, then Caitlin was having a visit with her dad and brother for a week, and the next thing you …
