As tradition goes, my husband took me away for my birthday last year. The only catch, I did not know where we were going. The Friday morning he loaded me in the car and off we went. I knew we were going to be on the road for some time so we left bright andContinue reading “Sutherland Birthday”

Hubby Say it Like it is
Maybe it is not always a good thing, but I love myself a questionnaire. Not only to answer myself, but I like to “questionnaire” my husband too. This is his unedited (accept for spelling mistakes) answers. 1. Where did we meet? At a mutual friend’s house, while still in a relationship 2. Where was our firstContinue reading “Hubby Say it Like it is”
Paarl/Franschoek Wineland Outing
We try and always go away around our birthdays. We like to make it special and each one can choose on their birthday where they would like to go. This birthday was before Covid times. I have always wanted to visit Franschoek and spent time there. I wanted to go on the wine tram andContinue reading “Paarl/Franschoek Wineland Outing”
Tea House in a Tree
We had the privilege to visit this very cute little tea house just before the official opening. We both fell in love with this little gem. It is built between the branches of an old Oak Tree and it is gorgeous. You do not have to climb a tree, access is super easy from theContinue reading “Tea House in a Tree”
A night at Hawksmoor House
A few years back I won an incentive for my hard work. It felt great to be acknowledged and rewarded. My husband and I had the privilege of staying at Hawksmoor House not too far from Stellenbosch. This property has a very reach history and if you would like to know more about it, IContinue reading “A night at Hawksmoor House”

It is still flower season, we have a braai, watch the ocean and just have a relaxing day. Of course I agree, I love the ocean. We arrive very, veryContinue reading “The Day We got Engaged”
Warmwaterberg Spa
Warmwaterberg Spa is not a new place to my husband and I. We love going there. The last time we were there we saw them doing some renovations around the camp area and studio bath houses. My husband said he wanted to stay in one of the studio bath houses and what better reason toContinue reading “Warmwaterberg Spa”
To Detox or Not to Detox
There is a debate around whether a detox works or not. In my opinion, it works, but people react differently and maybe, just maybe it does not work for someone. I think the only reason it does not work is because of the bad stuff that you are removing that tastes so damn good. IContinue reading “To Detox or Not to Detox”
5 Questions Not To Ask a Diabetic
A dear Diabetic buddy of mine, Leah from TheInsulinType did a post on 5 Questions to Ask a Diabetic. I thought, well that is a good idea, but I am going opposite. Let’s dive in here. Warning: Sarcasm and irritation will shine through. Can you eat that? Yes, I can eat everything you can. ShouldContinue reading “5 Questions Not To Ask a Diabetic”
Kloof Corner Hike
When I had this fab idea of starting my hiking career (LOL), I did Kloof Corner with a friend. This is a lovely short walk up the side of Table Mountain. It is something you can do quickly after work. We took some champagne (I love the stuff), water of course and off we went.Continue reading “Kloof Corner Hike”
