Safe Words

Norm and I ended up having a lovely Sunday last week, even though we had no plans to do anything at all. I had been wanting to go to the Under the Trees Market in Constantia for ages but we are terrible about getting organised and out of the house on weekends. We decided the …

Have A Little Faith in Me

I mentioned in last week's post about the taxi strikes and the resulting drama and damage around Cape Town. This week has been full of drama as well. So many people are unable to get to work, the shelves in the shops are bare. Many people are walking far for minimal food as there is …

The Problem Solver

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 …

Seeing Yourself Amplified

As much as I loved being down in the Garden Route with my SIL, daughter and granddaughter for a month, it is a long time to be away from my home, my pets and my husband. I cannot remember when Norm and I were apart this long. Norm flew down on Monday and then we …

Geese and Bunnies

We have all noted how time seems to have no meaning when there is a baby in the house. Lily has to feed Amelia around the clock and sometimes it seems like we do not know what day it is. In fact, in our Wednesday morning stand up I said 'Happy Friday!' which got me …

Venus and the Disney Princess

On the night I arrived in George, on our way home from the airport, we thought we saw the North Star. It was reflecting so brightly that I thought it was actually the moon, but it was a full moon that night, not a crescent and I could see Mr Moon on the other side …

Three Sevens & Four Generations

I'm a Grandma! My Lily gave birth to Amelia Ray Davidson via C-section in George, South Africa on 7/7/2023 at 11:30am. Both mother and baby are well. Amelia weighed in at a healthy 3.625 kgs / 7.9 lbs. and she is 51cm / 20.0787 inches in length. She is sheer perfection and absolutely beautiful. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cucb9nQKXwh/

Who’s Zoomin Who

What a hectic chaotic week! I mentioned last week that I had a Shaman class in Scarborough on Sunday, but there were a few sick members and I thought we agreed to do it via Zoom for those who did not want to come in for whatever reason so I chose to zoom to save …

Rumination

The only bad thing about a 3 day weekend is how long the following week feels, but the long weekend itself was lovely. A nice mix of friends, family, outings and visits. Last Sunday it was Father's Day so Caitlin came to collect us and we went off to the Hout Bay Harbour Market. https://www.instagram.com/p/CtoVB65qpM8/

Beaches and Babies

This has been such an amazing week and it feels like a month since I posted! On last Friday afternoon Caitlin collected me and we set off on the 450 km / 276 mile journey down to the Garden Route which usually takes about 5 hours on average to drive, factoring in at least one …
