Last weekend I went for a Geocaching outing with Drama Princess. Two of the caches we did was along a path in the Sardinia Bay Nature Reserve. I love how Geocaching is allowing me to spend time with my KidZ in the outdoors.

Just in case you don't know what a Imperial Walker is, … Continue reading Star Wars in PE
Langkloof protea
The Langkloof may be a "less desirable" tourism destination than the adjacent Garden Route, but it doesn't mean that its less beautiful. It may not have the breathtaking coastline or inspiring indigenous forests of the Garden Route, but it doesn't have to stand back one step when it comes to scenic beauty. Framed by mountains … Continue reading Langkloof protea

Foggy morning on Kings Beach
It's a misty morning. Waves lapping at the beach. Gulls gathering on the sand before the first dog walker passes and Butch decides to chase them off. Activity in the harbour beyond. Traffic on Beach Road. Morning on Kings Beach.
Holy water for runners
Our church (Hoogland Dutch Reformed Church) recently installed a public tap for runners and others in need of a drink of water. I love the creativity of whoever was in charge of the project.
