I’m not a great fan of Rosé wine, but there is something to be said for the combination of Rosé, lovely food, good friendship, and a balmy summer evening…
Summer, Salmon, and Rosé

The Heartbreak Grape
Pinot Noir has been described as the “Heartbreak Grape” with good reason. Originating from the Burgundy region of France, this fragile grape has proved to be one of the most difficult grape varietals to make wine from. It is fragile, temperamental, and tests the skill of the winemaker to the limit. The winemaker will often fail to produce a good wine from Pinot Noir, hence leading to much “heartbreak”.
Sheer Indulgence
One of the best things returning home after a long absence is the opportunity to indulge in previous delights.
We waisted no time for one such delight – sushi!
Oktoberfest 2017 in München
Yes, this is the big one – the real Oktoberfest !
6.2 million visitors and 7.5 million litres of beer later, Oktoberfest 2017 has been declared a roaring success by the organisers.
We agree with that assessment 🙂
Visiting Home
There is no place like home, something that we rediscovered recently when going back to Cape Town for a visit after living in the Middle East for the past year and a half.
Simon & Jeanneke’s Wedding
What better way is there to end a year and start a new one than with a wedding? And if the wedding is in beautiful Stellenbosch, the heart of the Cape winelands, then it promises to be some really special!
A Hectic September
We have all experienced the situation where very little is happening, and then suddenly – everything seems to happen at once. September, and the start of Spring, was just such a month…
The boy in a suitcase
Most have heard the expression “If I could fit you in my suitcase I would take you along”, which is often expressed by someone going away and leaving a loved one behind.
A wedding with a vintage twist
We recently assisted Anel, a good friend and fellow photographer, with shooting a wedding here in the beautiful Cape. At the pre-wedding consultation with the couple they indicated that they would like a vintage twist to their photographs. We were happy to oblige and soon afterwards got down to planning on how to do it.
Another photo-shoot with Kevin
From time to time we like to get together with Kevin, our good friend and fellow photographer, and enjoy a solid photo shoot in his studio. Until Kevin’s health put a stop to it, it was quite common for us to start a serious shoot early evening that went on till almost daybreak next morning!
