Corona Lockdown Gratitude 🙏

#grateful for a peaceful relaxed working day, posting on clients’ Social Media; for doing some personal admin; for receiving delivery of a Christmas order I placed with Haack & Heart, so fabulous to receive it at home; for a walk to Bakoven; for collecting two 4 kg bags of Whiskas cat food, my CatKids’ favourite, which Pick n Pay Camps Bay had kept for me; for The Pottery Camps Bay confirming that they now serve tea 💙; for a meeting with Chef Pavel at Zest, so lovely to see so many diners enjoying the lovely view from the terrace, protected against the wind💙 ; for taking photographs at Utopia Cape Town, where Lindt SA Head Office has its staff Christmas dinner; for being so protected against the strong South Easter in my apartment, such luck; and for being happy, healthy and free. 🙏💙

I was encouraged by my Tour Operator in Canada to write a Blogpost about the German tourists I guided and who have become friends, the Travel Ban becoming a good luck story for them and for me. 🌹

SA Travel Ban: a good news story of a German couple staying in Cape Town a week longer than planned!
