Cape Town remains one of my favourite cities in the world. A place where the carefree notion of coastal living and the determined drive of a bustling capital work hand in hand. The city has a dynamic vibe, full of creatives and some of the best restaurants in the world. Whilst everywhere you look you get stunning, panoramic views of that iconic mountain, one of the seven natural wonders of the world.

It's great in the Cape
Known as the Mother City, mother-nature certainly excelled herself when she created Cape Town. With the dramatic Table Mountain as its backdrop and bordering the rugged Atlantic Coast, Cape Town is certainly a stunner. But, it’s not just its in your face beauty that appeals. Cape Town offers South African charm in spades, successfully balanced with a cool and upbeat side; outstandingly good restaurants; hip boutique hotels; and a vibrant cultural scene. And it doesn’t stop there. What makes Cape Town so special is that within an hour’s drive of the famous Victoria and Albert Waterfront, you have access to shell strewn beaches, wildlife, adrenalin sports and the stunningly beautiful Winelands.
The only problem I find with Cape Town is that there’s so much to see and do, people often really don’t give the place enough time and leave wishing they’d stayed longer. Trust me, you’ll go to Cape Town once and will immediately start planning a return trip even before you’ve left.

The many faces of my travels
This weekend I decided to start something I’d been putting off for a while; sifting through all the photographs from my travels and trying to put them into some kind of order. Boy, what a mammoth job. I’d got as far as putting piles of boxes in front of me and then I started to reminisce. As I did, one thing struck me…..faces, lots of them, and each one looking right back out at me. I think this is usually how you can tell whether I took the photograph or the Hubby did; pictures of scenery are usually his and pictures of people generally mine.
I thought I’d share some of my favourite faces with you, each one a memory of a happy time.
