Sans paroles

Grey sky, grey birds & grey ocean, but my heart is rainbow-grateful.

And the door shall be opened...

Pink cupcake, blue ring, yellow pen & a cappa

An autumn tree

After a productive morning, the rest of my day was spent bathing myself in autumn: golden reds & sharp earthy crackle of leaves.

Footy in Khayelitsha

Sunday morning in Khayelitsha township watching a footy match that Joel umpired. A big windy field, & 2 teams of gangly players.

When autumn leaves are falling

Like a leaf wafting gently through the air & coming to rest on the soggy earth, the realisation that this is my new life sinks in to my inner soil.

Another long day!

Tired legs, empty purses & parched throats - time for cold beers & some seafood.

Afternoon tea @ Mt Nelson (still)

Lovely long afternoon with a piano player providing the soundtrack.

High tea @ Mt Nelson

A sumptuous spread of dainty tarts, muffins, cakes, sandwiches & quiches!

Squirrel in Company Gardens

A leafy stroll on a beautiful autumn day.

Perk in the mist

Book Lounge

At a Book launch, which fills me with longing & hope!

Artist

We sit on the jetty & an artist called Riaan (who's also a gospel singing martial artist doing what he calls Halleluja Martial Arts!) draws our portrait.

Hout Bay

We drive over the mtn on a foggy cold day & suddenly in Hout Bay it's a different day: sunny & mild.

Mounted police in the park

V&A Waterfront

Brunch on a breezy day.

Are we our stories?

A thought while finishing dinner & doing some sneaky people-watching: Imagine if we all carried our stories like the blurb to a book (maybe hanging off our necks like dog tags), so that strangers could read a brief summary - just like we do anyway when we look at someone's face. What would your story say?

Camps Bay @ sunset

It suddenly seems so odd to me that I can go to the beach on a Monday evening!

Our house in the middle of the street

We live just past the big rock on the left.

'Cos I'm on top of the world looking down on creation

Took cable car to the top of Table Mtn on a clear big sky afternoon.

Sunset on Signal Hill

A cold beer, a companion (my mum visiting from Jozi) & a spectacular sunset over a calm sea.

Kirstenbosch Gardens

A bench, a mountain & melt-in-your mouth choc eclairs.

A bench, a ship & a big sky

Breakfast @ Green Point

Clatter of coffee cups, animated voices all around & sea gulls poking fun at us from the air.

Wintery morning

Nala loves her twice daily walks! For me it's a great way of greeting the day & winding down at sunset.
