About this blog

  • Farm girl by birth, city girl by marriage… The only constant in my life has always been good, wholesome food, wine and company! Although I chose a variety of career paths in my life, I studied food and wine for six years before embarking on a detour that finally led me back to the kitchen, where I feel so at home! This blog exists to invite you into my kitchen, with all its fragrances, warmth and laughter! Please come inside…

Life's a beach!

Our lives have been crazy!  At times I feel a pang of guilt about my neglected space in blogosphere - and other times I want to write but can't find the time...  But, although this continuous spell of long weekends can be a pain, the last two have done wonders for my stress levels!  The first one (last weekend) we spent away with Mark, Kim, Pieter, Clara and Andre - we spent time together on our Karoo farm and returned home quite relaxed when the next one hit!  Glorious!  This weekend we are spending precious time with Dave, Michelle and Sheldon who are visiting from Johannesburg.

So, this morning, after an early rise and breakfast at the Neighbourhood Goods Market, we had ice-cream at the Waterfront, and then headed home via the scenic route - thought I'd reward Sheldon for being an absolute star while the grownups enjoyed the market.  We stopped at the beach in Camps Bay when my eye caught this sign: 

Img_3579_2Hello!  Are you kidding?!  Well, to cut a long story short, while the gang were running around on the beach, I had a head, neck and back massage while breathing in the fresh sea air, with a cool breeze caressing my body, and the warm sunshine warming my feet...  Sound good?  Trust me, it was!  Img_3575 

I feel a little disoriented from a business perspective right now - too many projects and too little time.  While I was trimming my lemongrass this afternoon, I thought that it was time to trim my projects too...  Time to consolidate.

Anyway, have to run, need to prepare a waterblommetjie soup now.  Chat again soon...
