I am a food fan, in case you’ve not guessed. I love pretty much all foods – except anything with those pesky nuts in! When a friend of mine offered me a trip out to the local organic farmers market, I jumped at the chance! I was slightly more prepared this time however. I had…

Dry January – Completed!
One wine-free month has been completed! Yay for me and The Boy! In this case, unlike quitting smoking, I am totally giving myself WAY more credit than him! He isn’t a drinker. He likes an occasional Jack Daniels or Makers Mark, but it doesn’t bother him in the last if he doesn’t have one from…
This explains a lot….
Yep, that’s right. I quit smoking. Not only that, but The Boy did too! I do have to give him the most credit though. He actively decided that enough was enough. He was 40 and wanted to live to see his grandchildren. So on New Year’s Eve he smoked his last cigarette and he hasn’t…
Product Placement
Have you ever watched a really popular show and noticed how many brands are visible? Everything from FedEx to Apple. They pay a huge chunk to the tv people (yeah, I have no idea who more than that) and their product is placed somewhere so that you subliminally think of them next time you want…
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…
New Year, New Start… again!
NB: This is a rambley post, mostly so I remember what I have done!! After an excessive amount of food and alcohol over November and December, I have decided to bite the bullet and join Slimming World Online, again. Why was it 2 months of over-indulgence and not just the regular 1 month?! Well, there…
Cafe Franschhoek (Name gives away the location!)
We arrived in Cape Town a lot more awake and alert than we had expected, which is a very good thing as Tannie bought us home to drop our cases and then straight out the front door again! We headed along the beautiful drive to Franschhooek. Just for a little background, it’s one of the…
Olive & Twist, Roodepoort, Johannesburg
It was a beautiful day in Jo’burg, and we decided that lunch outside was the order of the day. Not only that, but we didn’t want to be in a mall or on the edge of a car park. We wanted fresh air and greenery. That’s when my friend came up with Olive & Twist….
Greek Quinoa
Have you tried Quinoa yet? If not, you really should! Quinoa is a gluten free “ancient grain”. It is a really good source of protein, fiber and iron. It has a bunch of essential amino acids, which are great for weight loss. It’s also super trendy at the moment for some reason. I am not…
Strange Omelette
Have you ever read Whoopi Goldberg’s book, “Book“? It’s an autobiography, but written in the funniest way possible. It’s in my top 3 books of all time, which for those of you who know me, is an indication of how good it is! I have read far too many books, if there is such a…
