~ Don't Wait. The Time Will Never Be Just Right. ~
With the year drawing to a close, it is the end of the performance and the curtains are slowly being reeled in and you take a bow, we tend to get a little anxious. Somewhat reflective and relieved but also anxious. Questions start clouding your head: was it a good show? Did I do the […]

A couple of weeks ago, I enjoyed a weekend in Beijing. This was not much an exploration trip but a reunion trek. I hadn’t seen one of my good friends that brought sunshine to my university life in four years. So, you can imagine we had heaps of catching up to get through so I […]
Read MoreThis by far, the most delayed post yet. Just about 5 months over due. My sister is now hitched – we fear it is the first and last wedding in the family! A trio organised a jolly affair. Happy Tears. Food. Champagne. Love, x

Read MoreWhat a beautiful weekend filled with laughter, dances, Thai spring rolls, sushi, family braai, a walk with monkeys and Hadeda Ibises and a relaxing Sunday. I started off the weekend with a catch up at the Musgrave Roof Top Night Market. I have moved away from just eating Falafels. I have discovered amazing Thai Spring […]
Read More“I am here for a good time, not a long time.” Yes, I did just quote a hip hop/rap song. It’s quite catchy and so true. Better make the most of it, right? This has made me realise, once again, that this year has been rather wonderful. Gratitude is all I can offer at the […]
