A classy day at the Jazzy Boozy Cheezy Affaire
Anybody blindfolded and flown around the country before being dropped off at the Jazzy Boozy Cheezy Affaire would have been excused if they guessed their destination to be somewhere in the Cape Winelands after seeing what was around them.

On the one side you look down on the Sundays River flowing down towards Algoa Bay while the view the other way is across Algoa Bay towards Port Elizabeth with St Croix Island in-between. The Sundays River is said to be the fastest flowing river … Continue reading Sundays River
Weekend time is braai time
We are so fortunate in South Africa that we can braai with coals created from burning wood. In so many countries you aren't allowed to braai on an open fire and if you are a real braaier then you would agree that a braai on gas just isn't a braai. It's also so much more … Continue reading Weekend time is braai time
Camping and canoeing at sunset
You know your kids are enjoying a camping trip and perfect weather when they're still out on the water after sunset. The picture is from a recent camping trip to Sitrusoewer on the banks of the Sundays River outside Kirkwood.
