Marasi Brunch, Hotel Indigo

I had a message out of the blue the other week from one of the girls in a group I used to be really close with. As has happened for a lot of people, we all had our own worries and concerns over covid and had drifted apart. Messages were sent for birthdays and celebrations,…

Sani Mountain Lodge, KZN

Albert’s expert offroading skills delivered us safely to the top of the Sani Pass. After getting our passports stamped at the highest country checkpoint in Africa, we drove around the corner to the Sani Mountain Lodge. This is the the place that everyone drives to in order to see the mountain range. It is utterly…

Over the Edge Cottage, Underberg, KZN

After an incredibly long and arduous drive through from Clarens, we drove into Underberg with a bit of a sinking heart. It was a tiny little town and there weren’t very obvious sign posts or road names anywhere. Thankfully we had our satnav and once it had taken us to completely the wrong place, it…

Corona Chronicles – Week 2 Round-up

So, as you can see, I stopped the daily updates. Why, I hear you cry! Well that’s an easy answer… Because it’s boring! Nothing changes. Nothing happens. I don’t have kids or a husband to write about. I have Jane the Virgin and I can’t write about that because I don’t do spoilers.

Corona Chronicles – Day 7

Today started differently for sure. I woke with the desire to bake! A couple of days back Mum and I had been discussing scones, and she said that she had worked out a new recipe for chilli cheese scones. We have a bit of an addition to the chilli cheese flavour combo. If she thought…

Roast Dinner Diaries – Windsor Edition

Soooo, by now you should have worked out how much I like a roast dinner. You should also know that I have to have one every Sunday that I’m in the UK or it would be a waste. One person who certainly knows this about me is Justine. Last time I went to visit her…

Celeb Date Night!

Restarting my blog this week has already made it look like I’m a bit celebrity obsessed. Two of three posts with a famous chef. This is about to make it look even more true, when acutally I’ve generally not got a clue who anyone is. I mean, you’re talking to the girl who walked straight…

Pizza & Prosecco

What a winning combination, right!  If you then add on top an all in one price, then you win BIG time! All you can eat pizza and all you can drink prosecco all for the princely sum of AED 149 for ladies, or AED 199 for the gents.  Not only can you drink prosecco, there is…

Drusillas Park, East Sussex

Not the scariest vampire ever putting together her torture ideas á la the London Dungeon, but actually a lovely family park full of non-predator type cute animals! (I was only the tiniest bit disappointed. Much as she completely ‘wigged me out’, I always thought Dru was one of the best vampire villains!) My wonderful Mum…

Hello! Who are you?

Over the last few days I’ve had an unusually high number of visitors to my blog. So much so that WordPress keeps sending me alerts to tell me!  Hello new people!  But seriously, who are you?!  Hope to see some replies in the comments so I can work out why I have become so popular…
