Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
After such a beautiful day last Saturday, on Sunday the weather turned again and we woke to rain that morning. Norm and I had planned on having a wander around the garden centre as I had a voucher to spend, but I did not fancy roaming around in the rain so we decided to postpone …
I read that "Eleven minutes a day of deep, conscious breathing can get you high, humbled, and halfway to a mystical experience" and who doesn't want that? It grabbed my attention and the rest of the post was pretty humorous. Cutting down the jokes to just the list of items, he gave us some good …
Last weekend was really cold and overcast. As we have no heat in our house other than a wood fireplace that we could not be bothered to light, it was really cold in the house too. I was wearing 4 layers of tops, wooly socks and fur lined boots and was still wrapped up in …
Even though we live by the sea, we are surrounded by mountains and we do not get an actual 'sundown' with a sun slipping into the ocean on the horizon like you see in romantic films. But on Sunday night when I was sitting on the back patio I looked up at the sky behind …

This past weekend was just so fabulous. My daughter Caitlin and I flew down to George from Cape Town at an obscenely early time of day last Thursday morning so that we could spend that whole day with Lily, Amelia and Josh. We woke at 4am and just threw on warm clothes and left as …
I spent all of last Sunday doing my favourite things: bird watching and faffing about my garden. I took wild iris seed pods from the pool area and crumbled the pods and scattered the seeds in another area that is very shady and full of tree roots, so not much grows there. Let's see what …
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! …
