For years now, Albert and I have wanted to go to Clarens. This year when we were having a look at the route we would need to take down to the Sani Pass, we noted that Clarens wasn’t too far and we made a plan to stop there for breakfast!

The Great Christmas Sandwich Debate!!
As you may have noticed from Christmases past, I absolutely LOVE Christmas food. Turkey is the best of all the meats, but when you mix with with stuffing and exciting bits then it is epic! These items also work very well in sandwiches so I made it my mission when I was back in England…
Our London Adventure – Pt 1
As anyone who has read my blog knows, Mummy and I do enjoy a good adventure. We also like stage shows. We do like food too. So when we go off adventuring and it includes not only a show but yummy eats too, we feel like we have hit the jackpot! One such trip was…
My Holibops
Hello everyone! I’ve been a bit quite because a) I wasn’t very well and b) then I went home for a couple of weeks of “rest”. It is never actually a restful holiday as any expat knows. It is literally spent chasing around seeing as many friends as you can, and trying to maximise your…
“He Named Me Malala”, Netflix
In a break from my normal endless stream of trashy TV (which reminds me, I have a lot of Dynasty to catch up on!), I found myself strangely drawn to a documentary about Malala Yousefzai. A couple of years ago I was in an Uber on my way to RAK and the normal ‘where are…
Sunshine Taxi Ride
One of the major downsides to Dubai is the taxi drivers. Not all of them, but a fairly large amount. They drive terribly, are grouchy and rude, are sexist, smell bad… the list just goes on and on. I’ve written about those journeys a number of times. Every now and again though you get an…
I’m Proud of Me
That is not a statement that you will hear very often, but in this case it is completely true! Recently I was invited karting. Yes, people still do the go-karting thing that I thought had died out back in the early 2000’s! I was really chuffed to be asked along because it’s a group I…
Dirty Little Secret
It’s about food, of course, before you get all concerned about what you are about to read!! Actually, I think it’s more of a guilty pleasure but whatever. This is the Al Reef Lebanese Bakery on Al Wasl Road. It’s open 24/7, just as an FYI!
Cove Beach Dubai
Another day, another beach! It really is such a hard life some days! This time it was a beach club we opted for after a recommendation by a coworker. I have mixed feelings about beach clubs but figured that it couldn’t be too bad as it was a week day.
Dubai Cinemas
One of the things I was most looking forward about her holiday, was taking Mum to the cinema. It’s not something she really does at home, and having seen the local cinemas I’m not surprised. It’s not the same in Dubai, obvs! We not only have regular cinemas that are twice as roomy (and so…
