The Roundhouse

The other day the boyfriend and I had lunch at Rumbullion at the Roundhouse. I always thought of it as a pretentious place but I was pleasantly surprised. It was lovely. The views are incredible and the food was delish! When you ordered you had to fill out a sheet with what you want. We shared a Caesar salad and a Beef burger. We were very very impressed. I would recommend it anyone! Here are some pics…

A new day!

Today is the day that I start exercising regularly. That’s all…

Weekend Plans

This week has been full of friend’s birthdays, work functions, theatre shows, hikes and more work. It’s has been a busy week but it went super-fast so in future I think I keep myself busy like this so that my weekends come faster. That way the week won’t be so long and tedious and hopefully will be doing something different every week. Anyway this weekend is going to be about relaxing, beautifying, cooking, reading, movies and possible some baking. So basically I plan not to leave my house. Let’s hope I can do all of this in one weekend.

My New Year’s Resolutions

Family Time

So…. my family arrives tomorrow evening. It will be the first time that we are together in a very long time. This time we have new additions to the family, Baby Jack. He is too cute. Now our family is anything but normal. We are so loud; everyone talks at the same time. When everyone is together the house is filled with laughter and crying babies. It is just the way I like it. I could not imagine being in a quiet home. We like that series “brothers and sisters”, possibly worse. I LOVE IT! I have a special week in front of me. It’s going to help me get to the end of the year because man I need a holiday.

Kagga Kama

So… on the weekend of the 31st of August. I am going away with my boyfriend to Kagga Kama. Kagga Kamma, located in the peaceful southern Cederberg Mountains. No mobile phones, no traffic pollution,no highways and no city lights. I will be enjoying the silence and the fresh air. Kagga Kama was once home to the Bushmen, there are still cave paintings around the areas. ( dating back 6,000 years). The things that I am looking forward to are the majestic mountains, strange rock formations, game drives, spa treatments, sun downers and phenomenal night skies. I am soooo excited!! These are a few pictures from their website.

Zimbabwe

I lived in Zimbabwe for 10 years while I was growing up. I am dying to go back for a holiday. The country holds such a special place in my heart. You will never meet a Zimbabwean that you dont like. They are such gentle and loving people. If I had my way I would move back tomorrow and raise my children there. Without a doubt it is one of the best childhoods a child could ever have. No one worries about what you wear, who you friends with and how much money you have. This is the place where I grew up. Its called Leopard Rock Hotel. This is the view from the mountain. the dirt road on the right, going into the trees. That was the driveway to my house. It would be my dream to go and live back there. Such great memories and such special friends made.
