Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
This past weekend was just so fabulous. My daughter Caitlin and I flew down to George from Cape Town at an obscenely early time of day last Thursday morning so that we could spend that whole day with Lily, Amelia and Josh. We woke at 4am and just threw on warm clothes and left as …
Last weekend was great for catching up with my social groups after my month in George. I saw so many of my pals either on Saturday, Sunday or both! I mentioned my Soul Circle group on Saturday in last week's post. On Sunday I met 'L', a woman who is here for work for a …
Last Saturday I said goodbye to my friend Geri who is moving back to the UK. I adore Geri, she is such a kind and giving person with an amazing heart. I first connected with Geri when I saw a notice of a course she was conducting and I reached out to say I was …

The issues with load shedding have carried on with us all having to plan around when we can cook and function in our every day lives. It's such an inconvenience. Especially as it seems that the schedule changes on a whim. On Valentine's night, Norm and I went out and did not know there was …
Thanks to my fabulous Sunday evening last weekend, on Monday morning I was a wee bit hungover. I had left the office early the previous Friday so I missed the arrival of a meeting invite for Monday but luckily I wore a nice dress and did not look a tramp despite my fuzzy head. We …
