Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
I finished up work last Friday and the season is fully launched. We're off on the run up to the holidays! I'm not seeing as many tourists as usual but I've been lying low and avoiding the shops. On Friday after work Norm and I joined Paola, Phillip, Retha and Barry at Cheyne's for dinner. …
The weather has taken a sudden turn in Cape Town and it has been boiling hot outside. On Thursday I had my annual check up at the gynae who is in Milnerton so I set off just after 7am to make my way across the city. I had to use the car's air conditioner as …
Norm and I had quite the adventure again this weekend. Last week seemed to drag however, maybe because of our anticipation and chomping at the bit to get away for our longish weekend?

Norm and I had such a lazy day on Saturday. We are both feeling exhausted. Norm has been helping Caitlin paint all week in her flat and he is physically tired, I am mentally tired from stressing about selling our home and finding a new one and all the other stress around moving. I do …
There is nothing quite like a birthday to make you feel special. Sunday was my actual birthday but I had a lovely celebratory weekend with time spent with my husband, my daughters and their fellas as well as a girly morning with my bestie and my daughters. My only regret was that my son and …
I find it so ironic that most of our world's wars and fighting are due to lack of acceptance of other people's religious beliefs when in fact most religions have so many common threads running through them. Why can we not just accept our differences and find our areas of commonality and treasure our individuality? …
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 …
