Crawling is the Journey
Neighbours. That collective noun we use to refer to the people next door, or maybe across the road. They are the people one would bump into on your way to work in the mornings or have a chat with over the fence on a Saturday afternoon. Sometimes, one has very good neighbours and they will […]
Sometimes it hits me like a bucket of water just how fortunate I have been. I truly over the years have crossed paths with some of the most amazing people. I may not have realized it at the time, but trust me, if you were one of those who crossed my path: hindsight has made […]
Sometimes, I will ask someone for a topic for my blog. You know, a casual what would you like to read about? More often, I get given an idea with which I can work. Today was such a day. My friend started off by sharing that her children were doing a coastal hiking trial over […]
I am still taking a bit of a break from my everyday every things. Unfortunately, I do find myself a bit out of sorts, as I am not used to doing very little. You know what they say, if you want something done, ask a busy woman. I am a busy woman and I get […]

Recently, I was driving between Worcester and Grabow. My companion in the car marveled at the nartjie orchards we were driving past. The trees were heavily hung with fruit, which he pointed out. I too looked at the trees, but I said to him, I do not see nartjies, I see marmalade. We continued on, […]
There is a new development in our Meraki Mountain. It is called Team SS. Now, to tell you this story, I need to turn time back to 2016, because that is when the one SS met the other SS. Bear with me, I will explain. You see, sometimes, we all need a little help from […]
