My daughters have now finished University exams and are now ready to be released onto the work force. Hard to believe I have 3 children with university degrees, I am very proud of them all. I'm also glad they are on holiday as things were a bit stressful during exams. Throw in a menopausal woman …

Steampunk & Salvation
Things have been hectic the last few weeks and I have been a bit slow with blogging. It is ramping up to the end of year craziness! My regular readers may remember the previous blogs about the Hout Bay venue ‘Pescarne’, the 1st visit there was amazing! Really enjoyed the entire experience. The subsequent visits …
Itinerary of Gastronomic Delights
The girls came back from George for Norman's birthday and we planned a few days of casual celebrations with friends and family rather than a big birthday party as Norm didn't want a fuss. Thursday was his actual birthday and he was taking me to the periodontist so we got back to Hout Bay quite …
Pop Goes The Kitten
When I meet new people they often ask me do I not miss the US. I don't miss anything except the people, but one thing I do wish we had the equivalent of in SA is shopping. The UK and the US have such great sales and a better quality of merchandise generally. I miss …
Party to the Mex

Snips & snails & puppy-dog tails
This last week has been full of surprises and both good and bad events. Saturday we had been planning on going to a tweet up at Burrata in The Old Biscuit Mill. I've heard good things about their food, but I was also keen on seeing some of my twitter friends whom I had not …
It’s A Wonderful Life
This has been such a fun weekend. Friday night we were invited to a birthday party at Spiro's, the local Greek restaurant in Hout Bay. We always enjoy going there, the staff always have a smile, the food is reasonably priced and the portions generous. But what makes Spiro's a success in my opinion is …
All Grown Up
Last week was my son Trevor's 27th birthday. I still get surprised when I realise I have 'children' so old. How did that happen? Trevor and his girlfriend Amber arrived down to visit us on Wednesday which meant I had several days with them and I was so excited! I have not spent Trevor's actual …
