A window on Table Mountain

Two weeks ago we had a whistle stop visit to Cape Town to attend the Geocaching MEGA that takes place somewhere in South Africa only every two years.

I don't have big flowerbeds in my garden. For that I just don't have enough time and green enough fingers. I do have a few different plants and lots of succulents though and one of those I probably get most excited about when they flower is my air plants.

But let's not show sour grapes cause sour grapes do not make good wine. Anyhow, I … Continue reading NMMU performing at Varsity Sing →

Harbour view from Humerail

I had to stop at the Spar in Humerail this morning and stopped to admire the view of the harbour from the parking area. Some people wouldn't term this as a beautiful view but I like to call it an interesting view. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera so a cell phone photo will have … Continue reading Harbour view from Humerail →
