Picture yourself in an English country garden ... pink & white roses, dotted along the estate, together with pink & white bougainvilla, purple & red flowers, all nestled in-between herbs, vegetable garden & the awesome smell of lavender.

This is where I stay ... not in an English country estate, but in an affluent suburbs of Cape Town.  The air is fresh & clean - the area is peaceful and quiet, and the neighbours friendly.

I've only recently moved into the area, so am still very much enthralled with my current surroundings.

Watch this space as the seasons change ... as the gardens take shape - and how I adapt and see each new day.
