Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
With Norman still away last weekend, I had nothing much planned as I had the animals to look after. I was booked for a facial Saturday afternoon and when it was time for me to leave for my 1:30pm appointment, Finn refused to come inside. I knew I was only going to be gone for …
While I was in George, I loved having my morning coffee outside watching the birds while Amelia pottered about. There were so many lovely birds we do not see in Cape Town. There was a rainbird aka a Burchell's Coucal, which makes the funniest sounds as a warning of rain. There was the black African …
I discovered a tiny little caterpillar who is the culprit eating one of my plants. I picked the entire leaf off and put him with his leaf on the concrete on the other side of the fence by the rubbish bins. I do not want to kill him. Even slugs or snails are still Mother …
The bestest news ever was announced in our family this week. My youngest daughter Lily is due with her second child in January and she and Josh just discovered it is a boy! That gives them one of each gender and will be the first grandson to join the tribe. We are so excited. Last …

We have continued our new date night tradition. Norm and I decided to go out for dinner last Sunday as we had been home all weekend due to the Two Oceans Marathon and we felt a wee bit of cabin fever. The wind was crazy all weekend which also creates it's own form of chaos! …
Last week I mentioned that I had been off of work with gastro the previous Friday, but when I posted on Saturday I was feeling so much better that I had dinner that night thinking it was a 12 hour bug and I was recovered. Unfortunately, I woke in the middle of the night again …
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 …
This week flew by. The slow downhill ride from December to mid-January rolls past at triple time it seems. Our trip to the US seemed so far ahead when we booked it but it is so close now. We received a confirmation email about our flight this week which reassures me. My Mom has already …
