We live in a renovated 1960’s house (which are becoming rare in Camps Bay). We are very privileged to have a view over the ocean on the Bakoven side of Camps Bay. In winter we love to make a fire while the rain falls on the conservatory glass. I love to cook and my speciality…
5 Things I like about winter in Camps Bay Camps Bay or the Atlantic Seaboard is one of the warmest parts of Cape Town in the winter. Drive out to the suburbs and the mercury drops. Swimming in the Camps Bay tidal pool. We are a bunch of crazy Camps Bay and Clifton peeps who…

After his mother remarried, they moved to South Africa, where his stepfather was the Portuguese consul in Durban. I…

Most mornings myself and at least five other Camps Bay and Clifton ladies swim in the tidal pool at Camps Bay beach. Rain, shine, windy, overcast, hot – we swim. As you know we have the cold Atlantic ocean and the water in winter in Camps Bay is about 14 degrees celsius. My friends tell…
I have cycled two Camino’s and walked one. I am far from the perfect pilgrim but I am passionate about walking and cycling the Camino and to this end, you are welcome to read my advise (or not). Relax and just do the Camino. The more I read about the Camino – the more nervous…
The Wonder is the latest novel by Emma Donoghue. I read until late last night while my eyes were burning and Mike was complaining. Around midnight, I finally finished. Emma Donoghue is famous for her book Room, which was made into a movie with the same title. Watch the movie HERE Although The Wonder is…
Beloftebos is Mike’s favourite place to go mountain biking. Good thing that Mike is straight and he is not looking for a wedding venue. Jokes apart, the wedding venue is really spectacular. They were setting up for a wedding, and it is out of this world beautiful. So enough about weddings, the mountain bike…
A holiday that starts with “Good Friday” can only be fantastic. I love Easter holidays, ok I love all holidays but Easter holidays mean: It will rain in Cape Town. This would usually not have been on my list of positive things, but as you know by now, we have a bit of a problem…
Foxcraft is the brainchild of Eat Out, San Pellegrino Chef of the Year, Scot Kirton, and the La Colombe pastry chef Glen Williams.

Last night, my girlfriends and I went to sleep on Table Mountain. After work we packed our backpacks and set off up the mountain from Constantia Nek. The walk is quite steep with backpacks but much easier than climbing up Kasteelspoort. Last winter Mike and I walked from Camps Bay, up Kasteelspoort with fully loaded…
Instead of becoming a dog walker, I have decided to walk mobile phones or fitness devises. For those of you who need to walk 10 000 steps or more a day to earn Discovery points or show off to your friends or feel better about yourself – I can do it for you. Non Camps…
Si Cantina is one of the favourite restaurants of my girlfriends and I. The food is fresh, healthy, locally sourced and where possible organic. The chef makes her own yoghurt and believes in the farm to table approach. We have been there when symphony concerts are held against the Zeitz Mocaa Museum wall and the…
Americanah was published in 2013 by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, for which she won the 2013 National Book Critics Circle Fiction award. Adichie is famous for Purple Hibuscus and Half a Yellow Sun.
