Cape Town: The good the bad and the winter

So we have been here 3 weeks today and here is my low down: The first week and a bit the weather was wonderful which I think was good, it gave me a chance to settle in a bit, it also meant that it was dry when our stuff from Pretoria arrived. The rain has started, I am used to rain, I survived 4 years collectively in the UK. The difference here is...

I Love cooking

I love cooking, for me food is a whole sensory experience, the smells, tastes, textures and creating it is just so rewarding. I learnt to cook from my mom. We had a big kitchen with a table we could sit around and chat to whoever was in the kitchen cooking and get involved in the whole process. It was the centre of the home in so many ways. I remember being...

It’s my blog and I’ll cry if I want to

Tonight I toyed with the idea of starting a new anonymous blog. One were I could write the things that were in my head, without the limitations of knowing the readers. I am sure I am not the first blogger to have this desire. I could start something new, quite easily, and write endlessly into the great abyss, but two things stopped me. 1) Time. I know it...

Pretoria

It might seem odd that I am blogging about Pretoria when I just got to Cape Town but I had meant to do it before I left, and then things just got to hectic. We are here, and we are settling in well, but I will tell you all about that in another post. This one is all the things I love about Pretoria, I have counted this city as my home since I was 5 and I...

I am moving to Cape Town

I have been going on and on about wanting to move to Cape Town and coming up with all sorts of reasons why I could not. Well I am taking a jump a leap of faith. Well it is not really a leap of faith as I am really not believing in a higher power or purpose to make it happen. I am trusting that with hard work and being closer to the rest of the ART team good...

One word

I got this email from Wenchy so thought I would just do it here, I am not going to forward it but copy and do it if you like USING ONLY ONE WORD Not as easy as you might think! Now forward, change the answers to suit you and pass it on. It’s really hard to only use one word answers. Be sure to send back to the person you received it from! Where...

One day when I am big

The blog challenge on Female to Female today is about your favourite city, either the one you live in or the one that you want to live in. Now it is no secret that I love Cape Town and that my goal is to move there. My parents are originally from Cape Town and we have been visiting since I was a little girl. I love it, there is just something about me that...

So it begins

2010 has been wonderful so far, we went to a braai at friends of the awesome boyfriend person. It was a wonderful chilled relaxing evening with loads of time spent in the slightly too warm jacuzzi. We had to keep getting in and out so you did not cook. Was a tad par boiled by the end of the evening but it was lovely. I think I might quite like the idea of a...

2009 – looking back

1.What did you do in 2009 that you’d never done before? Dyed my hair pink Got a tattoo Fell in love 2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year? I don’t think I made any for this year and if you had told me at the beginning of the year this is where I would be I would not have believed you. And yes I have a few...

Things going on

There are loads of little things I wanted to say so I thought a point form blog would be best - Aequitas asked me to be his +1 to a wedding in January, it made me silly happy, I grinned a lot! - We only wrote to Father Christmas yesterday but after Rachel had discussed her list with Wenchy on Sunday it was actually quite easy and I think I might even have...
