Chocolate and Wine Tasting at Spier Wine Farm

So this weekend I had my first wine tasting experience! I’m not a big fan of wine and I can’t really tell the difference between the different wines. We just decided, spur of the moment, to Google what time Spier Wine farm closes and we went straight over.

We decided on the R65 Chocolate and Wine tasting. The chocolates looked so interesting that I opened all 3 of them. They were dark malted…

Happy 2016

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a good festive season and that we all made it through in one piece, safe and sound. May all your dreams for 2016 come true!

Looking back, 2015 was a good year for me and I believe 2016 is going to be even better! I’m grateful for everything I have experienced in the past year. I met a lot of new people and I realised who my real friends are. I am looking…

Spier Wine Farm Picnic

Spier Wine Farm Picnic

Two weeks ago I got to experience a lovely afternoon at Spier when I had a gourmet picnic with Snoopy :). Spier is in Stellenbosch.

I had been to Spier before but this was the first time I got to experience the estate. We sat on a blanket on the grass, under the shade of a big tree by the water. It was the perfect spot for the day as it was 35+ degrees Celsius.

The gourmet picnic included the…

Goodbye Hunger Games

  I read the Hunger Games series maybe 2 years over a period of 2 weeks. I remember feeling so down and dark after finishing. It’s quite a dark, grim, series so it’s to be expected. The end of the war has lots of death and maybe one twist but overall the ending in anticlimactic. That is not a bad thing. The end is still satisfying for me.

I really enjoyed the movie adaptations as well. This past…

West Side Story Memories

West Side Story Memories

The best theatre production that I have ever seen has to be the South African production of West Side Story. I saw the play in August 2015 at the Artscape Opera House. What an amazing venue! South Africa needs more theatres of this size and with this type of infrastructure so that amazing plays such as these are able to tour the country. We have such amazing talent in SA but we have limited means…

Circle of Five

A writer once said, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”

A writer once said, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” If this is true, which five people would you like to spend your time with? – Daily post prompt: Circle of Five

I’ve heard this saying before. When you spend time with a certain group of people for long enough, you eventually start to become alike. You rub off on each other. You want to build connections…

The Fandom Life

Screenshot taken from Google define

I think the first fandom I’ve been a part of was maybe The Little Mermaid fandom. I loved the movie and watched the cartoon almost every afternoon. I also read the book which was a companion to the movie.

I remember my mother buying me this massive collection of Disney books in a thin, “golden treasure chest” box. The books were huge and each page was roughly…

Trains, Planes, and Automobiles

Trains, Planes, and Automobiles

One of my dreams is to travel and see as much of the world as possible. As I thought about what to write for this post I went over all the times I’ve traveled and the different means of transportation that I’ve taken.

Car, Minibus, Land rover

I’ve been on several family road trips in the past. If it was in the Western Cape then we’d travel by car. When we went to the Kruger National park we went…

Why do I blog?

I blog because I like to.

I don’t think I can remember my first blog. I remember having blogs on my MySpace page. On News24’s page. Blogger. WordPress. There were more but I can’t remember at the moment. I blogged about holidays and studies mainly. I started playing guitar for a bit and I blogged about that. When I went vegetarian, I blogged week by week for the first month and then monthly…
