Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
We were so lucky to get a table on Thursday at Cheyne's in Hout Bay to experience his fabulous winter special, the 'Winter Yum Cha Experience' which is R150 per person for any three dishes of your choice from his winter menu. You then have the option of paying R50 for an additional 4th dish so …
I am so lucky to live in a fishing village where we can get amazing fresh seafood. My daughter Caitlin has just become pescetarian (eats only fish and seafood, veg and dairy.) The rest of us have sort of followed suit just as it is simpler. We have had a week of Pescetarian Heaven. I …
There is an old joke that says the reason they call Cape Town ‘The Mother City’ is because it takes 9 months for anything to happen. This is generally true except this week has proven that some things can take off like wildfire. Especially, well, a wildfire. I woke in the middle of the night …
My Mom has come to South Africa for a visit. She arrived late on Monday evening. Hard to believe she has already been here almost a week! It goes too fast, She hasn't been here since July 2010. And I haven't been to the USA since BFB. That means 'before Facebook' so I can't look …
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 …

Today is a day of celebration for me. My doc rang with the results of my biopsy and they are clear, no issues noted and no cancer cells identified. This is just such a relief! Another area of relief is that if I have any other issues a hysterectomy is not the primary option for …
I remember when I first heard about genetic memory. It was in regards to elephants and that they can locate water holes they have not visited in generations. I guess I never thought about the concept that humans can also exhibit genetic memory until recently. Is it actually genetic memory, or is it a memory …
Life is on that downhill slide to the end of the year when most of South Africa shuts down. Not like the same sense as the USA shut down, cause that is just silly. Our shut down just involves, sun, sand and sea...and a bit of wine. OK probably a lot of wine, but we …
This weekend I was supposed to have most of the book club girls and their fellas and kids here for dinner, but on Thursday I started feeling ill and by Friday morning I was feeling really horrid. I was also told I had to work on the weekend so it all worked out that I …
