On 16 June 2021 we celebrated our 3 year wedding anniversary. We always try and do something exciting and special for the day. This year Etienne had a very elaborate plan and a huge surprise for me. On the Tuesday, 15th of June, we drove out to town to go and collect our painted mugContinue reading “Radisson Red – 3 Year Anniversary”

Clay Cafe In The City
I came across this restaurant on Instagram. Everybody was visiting and raving about the experience. I was intrigued. It is called Clay Cafe in The City. The main restaurant is in Houtbay, but they have a flagship one right in town. I sent the link to Etienne and told him that this will be aContinue reading “Clay Cafe In The City”
Sutherland Birthday
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”

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”
The Day We got Engaged
In South Africa we celebrate “Braaidag” on the Heritage Day (24 September) public holiday. So, Etienne said lets go to the West Coast National Park. 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”
