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. …
I now get as excited about a bird as I used to about sexy shoes. These days I have zero pairs of sexy shoes as I only wear flats and most of those are boots, and not the sexy kind of boots. That reminds me of a story when I first moved to Cape Town. …

After all of the sad and unhappy things that happened last week, the week ended on a much more positive note. Last Saturday Norm and I decided to go to Dario's, our fave burger place in Hout Bay for lunch. The sun had finally made an appearance but it was still rather chilly. The patio …
I find that the older I get the simpler my needs are. Just a day out with Norman or a chat with my family or friends can give me such a boost. That was certainly true both last weekend and this weekend. We did not do anything to celebrate on Halloween evening which got me …
Last Sunday my bipolar-ness and anxiety were on full boil. I was so weepy and sad on Mother's Day because I missed my children so much but after a day of Norman spoiling me and the zoom call with my Mom and my kids that evening I was on such a joyous high. It's a …
Last Sunday was a lazy day but I did do a bit of planting. I had some pots that were in a spot where the plants were getting too much sun and kept dying. I moved the pots onto the porch and snipped off some clippings from my existing succulents and planted them. https://instagram.com/p/B86Uk97pcO9/ Hopefully …
