Blog Update – 21 December 2012
Early Friday morning we headed in to Fiat George. The main technician had already gone on leave, so we had an appie called Ruwan who kindly assisted us, but not being qualified as yet, he was being guided by Fiat Helderberg as to what to do next. They still weren’t sure what the problem was, […]

SIMPLY THE BEST pizza ever
Pizza? Mmmmmm I love pizza, but I don’t like the melted cheese or soggy ingredients that go onto most pizzas….all to often when the pizza arrives at your table, the base is burnt and crumbly making it difficult to cut or eat, the cheese is stringy and the other ingredients are overcooked. So here’s a […]
Mountain Breeze Caravan Park
Situated on the R44, 45 minutes drive from Cape Town, between Stellenbosch and Somerset West, is Mountain Breeze Caravan Park. Right at the entrance to the left is the Mountain Breeze Farmstall, along with restaurant and coffee shop…lots of lovely homemade biscuits, rusks, jams and other goodies on sale. Behind the farmstall, fat, juicy, ripe […]
The storm before the calm
So, you are all probably wondering why there has not been anymore content for quite a while, well the story goes like this……puppies all headed off to their forever homes mid August, then began the task of listing our beautiful home in Stonehurst for rental. We decided to go the Corporate route as the lets […]
Time moves on
And so……since the last time I got down to write, much has happened. Gypsey and Quince produced a beautiful litter of 5 puppies (2 girls and 3 boys). Mom lovingly nutured them, after a very traumatic first week or so, after her caeser. She wasn’t quite sure whether these 5 little objects were actually hers, […]
Campervan – OH YES DEFINITELY
Well, in my last post…closer and closer, I left you with some ‘food for thought’ LOL. Since then, John, of Vista Motorhomes and his designer Bill, called us on Thursday to come and inspect the ‘floor layout’ of our campervan ‘still to be built’…….. Friday morning, as early as we could possibly make it, John […]
Closer and closer
Wow, what a whirlwind couple of months, since I last posted. Our son, wife and twin grandchildren have emigrated to Sydney Australia, our daughter has winged her way to the USA and John and I spent two weeks in Ireland and Istanbul. Who said anything about ‘small doses’…..LOL….in this family, the larger the better. Home […]
One year and counting!!!!
John and I dreamed of this trip some years ago, it remained a dream that was never far from reality in our minds….well guess what….it is about to come true….we are planning our roadtrip at this very moment. We have this year to finalise unfinished business, plan, sort and then S-T-A-R-T. We don’t have any […]
Cintsa Beach Walk
It was another lazy Saturday afternoon in Cintsa. Tina was indulging in a siesta so I decided to take the dogs for a leisurely beach walk. One of the most appealing things about Cintsa is the pristine sandy beach that follows the curve of the bay for miles. Tina and I had noticed an astonishing […]
