Wednesday, 25 February 2015. See how the boot sale has grown. Sorry, pizza tales will have to wait- my pictures were rubbish, I'll just have to eat more pizza to get some good pictures.enough said. Instead, I'll tell you why I bounced out of bed early last Saturday morning- SARDA boot sale starts bright and early at 8 am, (3rd Saturday of the month) the traders are let in from 7 am and the rest of us are cordoned off outside till 8 am on the dot and then mayhem!

Wednesday, 8 April 2015. Blah Blah Bar and Ferdinando's pizza. I promise I didn't try and keep this a secret, you know I love to share.we just needed a few more visits to make sure I had the best pictures of Blah Blah Bar. Now a quick glance at the pictures and you'll see just what kind of wonderful this place is-. But if you need words- it's trendy, but casual in a cool artsy kind of way -. Regular live music downstairs, just keep an eye on their facebook. And in the back.Pizza! Links to this post.

smashing: A life well lived
http://smashingcapetown.blogspot.com/2015/03/a-life-well-lived.html
Wednesday, 25 March 2015. A life well lived. If I think of Gary, it's his laugh and those devilishly twinkly eyes first, even after his strokes, he'd charade us into remembering an incident in the past and laugh heartily - delighting in the memory. And boy, are there a lot of memories- an adventurer at heart, fear and consequence.please.pfftt.that was for us mere mortals - you don't believe me? I hear the click, clack, clunk of the backgammon board, Fanie and Gary laughing, playing late into the night.

Wednesday, 20 March 2013. I don't know if it's the air, the spectacular Swartberg mountains or the sheer nothingness surrounding Prince Albert- perhaps it's the combination. As you enter the town everything slows, all you need to do is sit back and enjoy the gentle lulling. It had been too long and it was a surprise party for our old mate Gary, we stayed at Lisa's beautiful guest house in the main road ' Onse Rus'. I'm throwing in the roadside tortoise as well. Drive by- drive home. Links to this post.

smashing: Al Bairre and Shortstraw at Kirstenbosch
http://smashingcapetown.blogspot.com/2015/03/al-bairre-and-shortstraw-at-kirstenbosch.html
Tuesday, 17 March 2015. Al Bairre and Shortstraw at Kirstenbosch. To spread a picnic blanket on the lawns of Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens on a summer Sunday evening, to sit, sprawl, stand or dance, drink in hand .this is Cape Town - is an exceptional experience. It doesn't matter if you're there for the music, the gardens, the people - ( so many beautiful people, where do they all come from- no really? This last Sunday one of those little tots took to that stage with a bunch of his friends and owned it.

Tuesday, 5 May 2015. A Prince Albert wake at a labyrinth. On a clear day you can see forever-. Follow the dusty road for 37kms exactly from the Weltevreden turnoff,. Pass a Fig farm- next time-. You'll soon come to the signpost. Here at the labyrinth on the farm we gathered-. It rained as we cried,. It cleared as we remembered. And in the end the sun warmed our shared grief. Walking a labyrinth was a new experience for me, 1 km in and out,. It felt profound and spiritual-. On the way back-. I can feel th...

Tuesday, 16 June 2015. I'm a little bit broken. Happy picture to keep me calm and serene. These things happen, my usual modis operandi is to ignore stuff - things have a way of disappearing or fixing themselves. Now my doc says it's time for more tests and maybe a referral- if you know me, this is not good, nor me- so you understand, I had my babies at home in the bath- ain't nobody gonna cut me up at home! New plan- I'm clearly going to have to own this mess I've become. So dear 'whatever is wrong with ...

Thursday, 11 April 2013. Cape Point Vineyard market. Feel like a glass of wine.or two, as well as a yummy selection of eats on a Thursday evening? Cape Point Vineyard Market. In Noordhoek - We visited a few weeks back, coming over the mountain a little after 6 pm, it was already bursting with happy people. I headed straight for The foodbarn's. Now turn around, look at that view, take a sip of wine and know what it feels like to be living in Cape Town. A few of the lovely stallholders with their treats.
