I don’t know about you all, but I think that the single best thing about the rise of social media is the access it has given us to the world. I can spend hours looking at all the exciting places on offer, and making mental lists of all the places I want to visit. In…
It’s Raining; It’s Pouring…
… but no one was snoring because the thunderstorm was so loud! I am fortunate because I love weather. So many people would be scared by what is going on. All I see is the beauty and I am in awe of the power of Mother Nature. The only thing that makes me sad is…
Reunited At Last
Finally, I’m back. Back with my brother. Back in Africa. Back being able to breathe. I’m back. I don’t mean anything insulting by the fact I honestly think I was African in a former life. Since the first time I stayed here in 2003, I have just felt at home. Being with people I love…
The Great Blackout of 2021
Yesterday there was a global panic. Not because a new virus had emerged. But because Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp went down. The memes have been awesome as you can imagine, but it does raise some questions about the general level of addiction to social media the world has.
Marasi Brunch, Hotel Indigo
I had a message out of the blue the other week from one of the girls in a group I used to be really close with. As has happened for a lot of people, we all had our own worries and concerns over covid and had drifted apart. Messages were sent for birthdays and celebrations,…
Weather is happening!!
I was scrolling endlessly through Facebook this weekend when I stumbled upon a post by Howard, Dubai’s unofficial weather guru. There was a tropical storm brewing in the Indian Ocean. This of course piqued my interest. I haven’t seen any kind of decent weather for a couple of years now. However, by the time I…
Expo 2020 Dubai – Opening Ceremony
Finally, after years of planning (for them) and a couple of days of research (from me), it was time for the opening ceremony of Expo 2020 Dubai! In true UAE fashion, this extravaganza was going to be broadcast across the globe and there was also a live stream so you could watch at home! As…
Sani Mountain Lodge, KZN
Albert’s expert offroading skills delivered us safely to the top of the Sani Pass. After getting our passports stamped at the highest country checkpoint in Africa, we drove around the corner to the Sani Mountain Lodge. This is the the place that everyone drives to in order to see the mountain range. It is utterly…
And so it begins, again.
I worked out the other day that in less than 12 weeks, I will be sat on my Mum’s sofa with the dog, a tub of Heroes/Quality Street or another type of Christmas treat, watching a Hallmark movie with my Mum, who is incapable of sitting for a whole film, pottering around half paying attention. …
Eating Across the Colonies
One of the things that I really actually quite like about living in a COVID-19 world is that places are a bit quieter. I love to go out and catch up with girls, but there was little to no point sometimes because places are too loud either with music or chatter. Covid and the new…
