Tan' Malie se Winkel...

When I was growing up in South Africa, 'Tan' Malie se Winkel' is a place (shop and restaurant) on the Harbeespoort Dam, to which my mom took me, my brothers and my gran, for Sunday outings. It is a time and place in my life I remember fondly... and some of the best days spent with family! Thanks mom. x











 View returning home after our happy day out...


...perhaps, someday... I'll go there again...x

New hens in the house...


Above are the new hens (x 7), which I brought home last Saturday... and Mr Roodeldoo... and today we have our first little egg from one of the girlies! So small...x


When weeds must...

A friend rang up and asked if she could pop in for a quick cup of tea. Realising I had no flowers to put on the tea tray, I ran into the garden and picked what I could find! Simply, delightfully dandy! She loved this little arrangement - so did I... PS: I'm talking about last summer... still waiting for this summer to show up! x

Bill Coleman & The Amish

I don’t know as much about the Amish as I would like to, but there is one man who has blessed me with the gift he has… Bill Coleman! A wonderful photographer who has spent 40 years of his life, photographing the Amish… I just love his work…x

Have a look at this link:  Bill Coleman Photography

Be Soft...


Be soft. Do not let the

world make you hard.

Do not let the pain

make you hate. Do not

let the bitterness steal

your sweetness. Take

pride that even though

the rest of the world

may disagree, you still

believe it to be a

beautiful place.


Kurt Vonnegut
