#Grateful for a productive day work-wise; for the rain just starting to fall now ☔️, after a dry and cloudy day, not too cold at 16C; for a walk through Camps Bay, linked to a shop at Pick n Pay; for fabulous support from Michele Antelme about my review of Quince Restaurant, receiving a barrage of hate comments, having to switch off the Comment facility eventually, even my doctor’s wife giving me an earful… 😂; for a shorter walk through Bakoven; for chatting to Colleen de Villiers; for my fabulous warm bed with its electric blanket, making me sleep like a baby; for dancing to Kfm Dansdag, so happy that Carl and Zoe are back in their usual slot; for a call from Stuart Bailey; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →

Corona Gratitude 🙏

#Grateful for another magnificent day…. can we be so lucky to have a week of summer in the middle of winter ?❤️; for walking twice today, at lunchtime up to Clifton Fourth Beach, bumping into Thomas and Haakon again, and a Camps Bay beachfront round at sunset time with Lisa Hayden who lives in Bakoven, with the most stupendous sunset; for having a writing-free morning after writing about President Ramaphosa’s speech last night and posting it then; for Henry getting my apartment alarm fixed after putting in the new battery and reprogramming it; for getting appointments at Sorbet and for my hair as soon as the opening date is announced (1 July probably); for loving how my vegetable garden is flourishing, with the compost we have been adding, tomatoes just growing wild, and the bought beetroot and coriander plants loving all the sun as well as rain; for receiving an invitation to participate in an online cooking show with one of our country’s top chefs…. 😱; for a long Vit D fix on the terrace; for Minsky now knowing her surroundings, and returning back inside without I having to panic; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →

Sweet Service Award goes to Straatwerk; Sour Service Award goes to Twelve Apostles Hotel!


The Sweet Service Award goes to Straatwerk and their workers, who have helped me clean up in Camps Bay on numerous weekends, to weed the stream that I look after near the Tidal Pool, and to remove litter underneath bushes along Victoria Road. They are energetic, friendly, and dedicated in the work that they do, despite their very tough lives and backgrounds. Seeff is doing a fantastic job in sponsoring the work of Straatwerk to the benefit of the Camps Bay community. Continue reading →

Seeff Atlantic Seaboard invests in Camps Bay, sponsors beach clean-up by Straatwerk!

On 2 January of this year I adopted a stream near the Camps Bay Tidal Pool, having seen it clogged up with plastic and other rubbish left by picnickers on the infamous New Year’s Day. Since then I visit the stream every day, to clean it up, removing all the rubbish from it. A week ago Straatwerk workers assisted me in removing all the water weeds that had grown in the stream, and the rubbish that was trapped underneath the plants, returning the stream into its beautiful former self, an asset for Camps Bay and other Capetonians.  Continue reading →
