Hi friends. I opened my email after a tumultuous two weeks where we had to deal with the death of a wonderful young man who was a close friend of my son and a heart attack in the family. Needles to say that email was the last thing on my mind. So, I was completely surprised and humbled to find that Dee from A Lapin Life had nominated me for an award!
Please pay Dee a Visit and see the other blogs that she nominated as well.

THANK YOU DEE!
THIS AWARD STARTED IN GERMANY. IT'S TO HIGHLIGHT BLOGS YOU ENJOY THAT HAVE LESS THAN 300 FOLLOWERS.
I accept this award and now need to tell you 7 things about me...
1) I am a magazine addict and I do not part with my treasures! I store them in a cupboard and use them like most people would use the library. They get stored in seasons. Winter, spring , summer and autumn. Currently the winter magazines are dotted all over the house in piles, baskets and magazine racks in my favourite hang out spots!
2)I have an ongoing love affair with the beautiful city that I have the privilege of staying in, namely Cape Town! It inspired me to start a blog about my favourite places in the city and the surrounding winelands, named Mother City Magic where I hope to promote this amazing place and people to the world!
3)I have a huge fear of water and at this ripe old age can not even hold my breath under water! However, in summer I swim almost every day and my favourite holiday is going down the Orange River in a canoe! It took quite a lot to overcome the fear and obviously I kept a life jacket on all the time. I coped fairly well with the rapids (but they are tiny rapids anyway) and loved sleeping under the stars and living close to nature. Very close, believe me! I have been down the river five times in total now and have only once fallen out the canoe!
4)I detest any form of discrimination due to race, religion or any other grounds and I feel that every single person deserves to be treated with respect no matter what, for you do not know their circumstances and should not judge.
5)I veer between being a girly girl and a tom boy! I can just as happily play in the mud and garden as I can put on my stilettos and shop. The only draw back is that my nails never look good!
6)I love music, ballet and theatre and am able to listen to any kind of music from rap to classical.
7)I spend hours trying out plant combinations in my head and "planting" various gardens in my favourite regions of the world that I have travelled to. Ditto with decorating rooms in famous homes and ditto with food and wine combinations!!
