Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
Many of you know about my dirty little not-so-secret addiction to reality TV and how a phrase often gets 'stuck'. This week the little phrase that kept echoing was about "not letting someone steal your peace". I heard it on "The Valley". Even for my low bar, this series is pretty bad. It is about …
Last Saturday night we were invited to dinner with my daughter Caitlin and son in law Wesley. Poppy went with us and she was so well behaved and did not get car sick this time. She lay in my lap like a perfect little princess on the way there and back. Maybe she is outgrowing …
