We were in Pretoria for Christmas with my parents. I lived in that house with them when I returned to South Africa and it is a place the kids and I feel very comfortable. I grew up in Pretoria and spent most of my life there, it still to a certain extent feels like home. Christmas with my parents was very familiar and full of our family traditions. I even...

I got the idea from Pinterest and decided to make our own. We live at the beach after all. I don’t need too much persuading to go to the beach, it really does good things to my soul. Sand under your feet. Kids running free and the sounds and smells just press all the release and relax buttons in my brain. I live in one of the most beautiful places on... Excuse me… your green is the wrong way around
When I was growing up there was a friend of mine from Cape Town who’s parents moved to Pretoria. Suddenly this blonde surfer boy found himself with no sea and a whole new life. He used to talk about Cape Town all the time and how great it was and how much he missed it. Nothing in Pretoria was good enough. Look I know that after living in Cape Town,...
1 year
So it has been a year since I moved to Cape Town and Yme started our lives together. What a year it has been. Here is the run down
The kids and I moved to Durbanville and Yme was thrown into the deep end with 2 kids. I think the kids and Yme have adapted very well.
Had to put our ART dreams on hold for finacial reasons, it is still unfinished and I will...
Day 27 → What’s the best thing going for you right now?
Yme.
It almost feels like I can just leave it there at that full stop. But really to have someone so supportive and keen to build a life together is wonderful. We have a lovely new house and as soon as this 30 days things is over I will show you all the pics and tell you more about our house. ( To be honest i am a little over this meme now, I agree with...
Day 23 → Something you wish you had done in your life.
Well this makes it sound like my life is over and I have missed some great chance to do something wonderful. I hope I still have time to do all the things I want to. Actually like the 101 things list which was fun to do I was actually thinking of doing a sort of a bucket list.
There are no big things that I feel by 33 I should have done and look back with...
Looking back
I was blog jumping tonight, reading the blogs of new commenter’s and following links to other blogs. It is actually quite cool to read some new stuff. I so wish someone would pay me to blog and read blogs all day, as there are so many I wish I could keep up with. I am failing hopelessly at even the few I try read regularly.
But I digress. I was...
Lonely
Now that is not a word that I thought I would be saying once I was in a relationship and happy, but there it is. I am really lonely. In a very different way than before, I am not alone in a relationship sense. I have Yme and we talk and we do stuff and it is good, that part of me that wanted to sharing something with someone is fulfilled but I left a lot of...
Dear Blog please forgive me
My poor neglected blog, I have missed you so much, the number of posts I have written in my head and then not managed to get out has been eating me from the inside. Writing keeps me sane, Yme I promise to try write more and put the crazy woman away again LOL.
Oh my word what did we do before the internet? I am an extrovert, not in the sense that I need big...
Show your best side
So many of us hate photos of ourselves. I know I do, I find it so difficult to see what other people see in the same photo. We sees the tiny flaws that others may not see and we have a whole range of things that impact the way we view ourselves. Sharon took a really nice photo of me other day and i thought it might be fun to do a blog challenge where you...
