An homage to Aragorn, my erstwhile VW Golf
I once had a lovely little car. Nothing fancy, just a champagne-coloured 1400 Golf. No power steering, no air-conditioning, just the basics. The only thing that set him apart from the myriad of other Golf’s littering the streets of Cape Town was the fact that he was mine and that I was paying the monthly [...]
Busy weekend
Cape Towns attractions are both varied and unique. This weekend I will travel from windy Milnerton, to green and shady Pinelands, all in the space of one day.

Life’s too short to drink bad wine
Everyone in Cape Town is miserable. All you hear the whole day long is people lamenting the fact that it is raining. Again. Personally, I don’t understand it. What do they expect? The Western Cape is a winter rainfall region and, as I try to explain unsuccessfully to so many of these people, it’s good [...]
