Colours of America

Its autumn in The States now and the colours are amazing! South Africa doesn't have as many variations in the colours the leaves turn in autumn. It's incredible to look out of my window and see red, yellow, green, brown and orange leaves floating against the blue sky

We <3 South Africa

A road trip through South Africa, from Stellenbosch to Port Elizabeth along the Garden Route and back along Route 62 will show you just how much WE LOVE SOUTH AFRICA.

Best country in the world!

































Pajamas and Jam

This sweet little coffee shop set in a warehouse in Somerset West, South Africa is a great place for nostalgic browsing. The warehouse is cluttered with old light fittings, colorful fridges and vintage bicycles.

The coffee shop tables are dotted around in between the goods with fairy lights glinting amongst them. Jolly music plays while you enjoy your food presented on wooden boards and "eat your vegetables" printed napkins.

Definitely a place to go again.

Babylonstoren, Stellenbosch, South Africa

Babylonstoren is a wine farm just outside Stellenbosch on the way to Franchoek! What a wonderful place!

It is truely Cape Dutch, with thatched roofs, white washed walls and a borehole to top it off. Bread is baked in wood fired ovens and sold from their floury baking trays.

Take a stroll through the gardens that are inspired by the castle of good hope and end up at a magnificently simple greenhouse where all the local products are used to make u deliciously rustic food!
