Roundabout this time of the year, most people feel rather (or extremely) stressed or fatigued. The cure for this almost-but-not-quite-yet-end-of-year-feeling is a staycation.

If you’ve lived in the Western Cape for a bit like we have, you will know that Capetonians & those living right along the coast up to Plettenberg Bay are so spoilt for choice! You can take a different day trip or weekend away for about a whole lifetime & never get bored. But don’t […] Read more…
Once you become a mother, things like sleeping in, having your bed entirely to yourself, bathing by candle light, or browsing Pinterest for hours, seem like very distant memories. Just imagine my excitement when I could recently book a quick solo trip to Durban to get some business & leisure ‘to do’s’ ticked off my […] Read more…
A couple of years ago, I took a friend & her Dutch husband to Constitutional Hill. We wanted to spend time together & explore some of the history of South Africa. It was fascinating but also sobering & very intense. It was good & necessary for us all to see, of course, but I found […] Read more…
