Will you still need me….

This week has been full of chaos and stress and fabulous things, I am like a yoyo. Next week I will be in George visiting Lily, Amelia, Josh and Trevor. I am looking forward to it so much! Last Sunday Norm and I were booked for lunch at Veldt DBE with Wesley, Caitlin and Bree. …

Small But Perfectly Formed

This has been such a busy week! First of all, we still have our overseas visitors with us until next Monday. Last Monday I had to go back to work and Norm took his guests up Table Mountain. Apparently everyone in the entire province also decided to go at that time and Norm had to …

Flying North for the Winter

Daddy’s Home

It has become a bit of a standing joke in our house that as soon as Norm (Mr Kitten in the city) goes away, chaos ensues. At one point I almost believed he had set things up to go wrong just so I appreciate him. But that level of underhandedness is more my style than …
