Love in a Box!
On top of a wonderful (if rather alcohol saturated) day with my best friend, (explanation here) the lovely Ian came to join us and bought me a gift from The Counter, of which he is the co-owner! Amongst (is that a real word or did I just make it up?) a whole host of amazing…
The Foundry, Parktown, Johannesburg
Our final stop of the day was at a lovely and popular restaurant called The Foundry. I really liked this one! It reminded me of a really nice gastro pub in London that I can’t remember the name of…. only cheaper and with much friendlier staff! By this point we hadn’t eaten in about an…
Nice on 4th, Parkhurst, Johannesburg
“Nice” just is the wrong name for this bakery/bookshop. It should be called “Amazing” or “Divine” or “Heavenly”. “Nice” is thoroughly inadequate! I always approach bakeries and cake shops with a bit of a sinking heart. I know I am going to be disappointed. I know that the lovely looking gluten free cake will have…
Hudsons’ The Burger Joint, Parkhurst, Johannesburg
Or… Foodie Fun Day Stop 2! Thankfully it was a bit of a drive between 44 Stanley and Parkhurst, and we also started our second stop at the far end of Parkhurst. Well, it seemed the far end from where we came in! Hudsons’ The Burger Joint is famous for it’s burgers (funnily enough!), but…
Stanley Beer Yard, 44 Stanley, Johannesburg
Or, Foodie Fun Day Stop 1!! My friend Ian and I decided what we really needed was a afternoon of eating our way around Joburg. As you do. First stop was Stanley Beer Yard for some rather delicious sausages and craft beer! Joburg’s food scene is turning into hipster heaven, so naturally I had to go…
Awesome Day, Awesome Friends!
My wonderful friend Sharon and I decided we needed a girls lunch, and that carbs and cocktails were the way forward! I really, really wish she lived closer so that this was a regular occurance, but at least we get to catch up annually! We ended up in a place called Papachinos which is a…
Vergelegen, Somerset West
Tannie and I had a lovely girls’ afternoon today at the stunning vineyard, Vergelegen. Well, it’s not just a vineyard. It’s so much more! The estate is over 300yrs old and boasts the most beautiful grounds I think I have seen so far. (Grounds, not lake! That’s still the Stark Conde one!) It was always going…
Catharina de Bliquy – Artist, Cape Town
I don’t even know where to start this one, but I know it’s going to be long. Why? Because I am in complete awe of this exceptionally talented artist. Her work is just beyond beautiful, as is her heart. She is simply divine. Let me explain… About 13 years ago, I was introduced to Ms….
