Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
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 …
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. …
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 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 …

This week Norm was travelling again and I was trying to remember where he had gone but all I knew was it had a lot of vowels in it. He was in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia. I kept telling everyone he was in Abu Dhabi which is the capital of the UAE. This …
This week our internet died and I had 2 meetings booked to present the document I have put together so far for my client. I managed to bungle through the first one without being able to hear anyone, but the second was with senior management and the internet died completely and tossed me out of …
Even though we live by the sea, we are surrounded by mountains and we do not get an actual 'sundown' with a sun slipping into the ocean on the horizon like you see in romantic films. But on Sunday night when I was sitting on the back patio I looked up at the sky behind …
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 …
