Open Streets 2016
I love the Open Streets initiative, where cars are shut out and people take over the streets of Cape Town.

Friends & Neighbours: PLANT
Once again today, I went down the road and had a spicy mushroom wrap for lunch at the brand new version of PLANT – a vegan cafe that has just opened on the corner of Buiten & Loop Street. I’m a big fan of plant-based eating, so I’m thrilled to bits to have this good-looking vegan cafe, just one block …

A seaside garland
We went for a walk on Noordhoek Beach on Boxing Day, when the spring tides were up and the entire wide, wide beach was covered in water, moving from the breakers to the lagoon. Lots of sea vegetables had washed up, including this long piece of seaweed with a knot in it. I thought it …
