Norwood Mall
A year or so ago, or sixty, the village of Norwood was out in the country. The girls of St Mary’s School would walk along a path, over the open veld, to what was then the small church of St Luke’s in Orchards. Well, much has happened since then. The ... Read More
Who runs out of a beer at a rugby match?
I think the universe is telling me to quit drinking beer. You see, I was at the Cokefest when they ran out of Coke and Beer; I was at the Killers concert where they ran out of plastic cups for beer; and on Saturday, along with 94 000 people, I was unable to get beer at FN Soccer City (not sure that ...

Heia Safari Ranch
The winter weather, as I write this, is magnificent. Spring is on the way and summer will not be far behind it. And one of the benefits of living in Johannesburg is the increasing number of fascinating places that exist within an easy drive of the city. Gone are the days when all the animals had dep...

Bryanston Organic Market
If you enjoy watching people, browsing through a stall village with a large variety of hand-made and quality items, and then sitting under a tree whilst having a meal and listening to live music, then the Bryanston Organic Market will appeal to you.

Suburb no 67
Every now and then I find it good to get away and spend time doing nothing constructively! Sometimes I come back with interesting items that I’ve bought, whilst at others I return relaxed and with just a whole bunch of happy memories.

Last Tuesday I went, with one of my daughters, and cas... Read More
A Tour with a Difference
Any hound a porcupine nudges
Can't be blamed for harbouring grudges.
I know one hound that laughed all winter
At a porcupine that sat on a splinter.


Like Ogden Nash I have a healthy respect for porcupines, particularly when viewed from... Read More
Ride the Gautrain for a new experience
The Sandton Station is on the South-West Corner of Rivonia and West Streets, with the entrance in West Street. There is a large multi-storied Parkade right next to it in West Street, and the most convenient level on which to park is B3 as you can then walk straight into the ticket area. Every passen...
