Cheese on Marie Biscuits, cheese sandwiches, cheese on crackers, cheese cubes, grated cheese, hard cheese, soft cheese, ANY cheese. My love for cheese runs deep. In fact, both my siblings have the same cheesy addiction. I can remember sitting in our old family home, around the kitchen table, finishing a block of Gouda in a […]
Read MoreI love following 52 week and 365-day challenges and I love cheering people on to stick to it. But more often than not those I follow start one on the 1st of Jan then drop out around the halfway mark. (Except Megan, who even posted in hospitals and planes, nothing stopped her from completing 365beauty […]
Read MoreHow fortunate are we to live on this gorgeous continent? We have SO many exciting places to explore and experience without ever jumping the pond.
Read MoreCan you remember your last time you went on a first date? Do you remember the awkward silences? The questions you asked and got “yes” or “no” replies for? We have all been on a date where you are kinda into to the person but you can’t seem to get the conversation to flow. You […]
Read MoreWhether you celebrate it or not, Valentines a thing. We were silly enough to get married on Valentine’s day and now have to have that cliche follow us around for eternity. If you complain about the concept of Valentine’s day or if you go all out to show someone how much you love and care, […]

This spectacular find is the newest addition on the same property as one of my favourite restaurants in Harties, Silver Orange Bistro.

Read MoreWhether you are staying at a self-catering little hideaway or a secluded campsite. Nothing makes people happier than pancakes for breakfast. Propper pannekoeke. The key to my heart lies in a good pancake and nothing gives me greater pleasure than gooi-ing together a lekker breakfast for friends. On your next average self-catering adventure, take along […]
Read MoreMost Sundays we go for a late afternoon drive in search of a bite to eat. This really ends up being a “you choose, no you choose” So we settled on Black Horse Breweries since its a nice drive and not far from where we live. Driving up their road it became apparent we weren’t […]
Read MoreNo really, THE EASIEST recipe ever. Even when it flops it’s pretty damn good. I felt like something sweet because life has been pretty bitter lately. Those whom know me well know that I am an okayish (home) cook but a miserable baker. I don’t know why but my cakes collapse and my cookies are […]

You will find many glorious travel blogs and sites of the most beautiful resorts around the globe. You can find lists of what to pack in matching luggage. Gosh, the world is full of travel bloggers who take amazing photos that leave you wanting to up and leave your day job and travel the world. I am not that travel blogger. I live to travel and discover new places. Sometimes that includes places right down the road. Sometimes it involves a long haul flight or two. I am average. I travel on an average budget, I travel with average luggage and gadgets but I tell extraordinary stories.
