One of the positives that we can take from the recent events that have rocked our world is how quickly people adapt and change – I suppose it’s how we’ve managed to survive for so long, despite how silly we are as a species sometimes! Instead of visiting shopping centres, more and more of us […]
Continue readingWell not really, in fact not at all – we’re still in the land of fish ‘n chips – but we are back with a few items for sale. We still have a few larger pieces of furniture in our store rooms, so I got Thandie and Kabelo on the case, and I’ve been super […]

It’s time to say goodbye to our rather lovely home in Jozi. When we first bought it, it was a mess of styles, with crazy paving (indoors!), mixed with ’90’s beige tiles, and original parquet flooring, but over the years we’ve lovingly renovated the house to bring some congruity to the space, which now flows […]
