Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
Last Sunday it got up to 33 degrees but as I took Saturday off from cooking due to the heat I had a lot of cooking to do. I popped a small gammon in the slow cooker. Usually I cook my gammon in coke, brown sugar and pineapple but none of those are allowed with …
When Norm and I lived in Europe we made a real effort to take the kids to a new city every year. As I was the one who did the bookings and it was summer, we always stayed somewhere near a beach with a pool. Now that we live in Cape Town we have those …
This week flew by so quickly I am surprised it didn't give me whiplash. Norm was finally back from his trip but still had his board members to entertain so was pretty scarce around the house. He did pop home in time to walk the dogs so that was one less task to manage! The …
It has been rather exceptionally lucky to end up with 2 4 day weekends in one month. Even the work week flew by this week. Last Saturday we decided to nip out for dinner to Papino's in Hout Bay. The Rugby World Cup has kicked off and SA were playing, so we tried to time it before …
We had such a productive day. Mzudomo arrived bright and early and while he was busy in the garden with great assistance from the Pomeranians, we set off to Hout Bay to hit the shops. I'm just so fed up with takeaways so we vowed to be more organized and do a weekly shop. Before we did …
Winter is well and truly here. It's been peeking through sporadically but it's rained and been so cold all week. It's impossible to use an umbrella due to the hectic winds in Cape Town. Even with a hooded raincoat one gets drenched getting to and from the car. Winter is not pleasant. And then we …
One of the few advantages of so much load shedding is that it gives me a legit excuse to go out for dinner. Not that I've ever needed an excuse, but still, it's nice to be legit. We are in the middle of being load shed as I write this, at least WordPress is still …
Living in a tourist town and having such a constant stream of visitors I thought I was familiar with every bit of Hout Bay. Today I discovered several delights I hadn't yet experienced. We had spotted a lady selling her outside seating, cushions and table on the Hout Bay 2nd hand site. We loved the …
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 …
The last few weeks have been full steam ahead. Mom had a list of things she wanted to do in the Garden Route, so we followed her requests. We went to Knysna and had a wander round the shops. Mom remembered several shops which she had been to when here years ago and most of …
