Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
I have blogged before about the disparity between the various socio-economic groups in South Africa, it is a part of our every day lives but sometimes it rises up and slaps you so hard in the face that your head reverberates with the force of it. It's been a busy week, work is still long …
People say that you will never meet your true love in a bar, but conversely they also say that nothing can keep soul mates apart. My husband Norman and I are classic examples of the latter and a contradiction to the former of those 'sayings'. Today is our 18th wedding anniversary. We met almost 20 …
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 …
Tonight is date night. I'm not sure where we are going yet but we have plenty of options in Hout Bay.It's been a bit overcast and chilly today. The weather has suddenly shifted in Cape Town, one week it is so hot we are still sitting by the pool and wearing flip flops and then …

When I received the notification that La Mouette had implemented a new menu I was of course front of the queue to try it. We had thought that Caitlin and I would be home alone this week with Norm off in Scotland so we booked for the 2 of us to celebrate starting her new …
We have been so busy I have not blogged in a week and it was all go, so bear with me if I cover a lot of territory. It was my turn to host bookclub this month and the girls all came to me last Tuesday. My friend Chris has her father in law Pops …
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 …
