At MYOG….natural yoghurt that can’t make you fat, unless of course you overdo the gazillions of naughty toppings like Oreo & fudge crumbs, Astros, marshmallows etc….go big or home as they say. But don’t overkill the sweet stuff else it’ll be go big, go home & get fat (Joking!). MYOG …
* A lemon tart at Haas, the most fab coffee shop in one of Cape Town’s oldest areas, Bokaap. Haas do their own delicious blend of bean & also serve that famous ‘kittypoo’ coffee called Kopi Luwak. Frightfully expensive so I never order it but the offering does make Haas …
Out & about in the Mother City with @lateralpaul on a BMW Superbike…nothing like it. It’s a monster bike, a bit like riding a small horse I tell you. Going along the coast on a day like we had yesterday, was perfection. 32 degrees in some places, hot & balmy…so …
So this is Paul van der Spuy, big on positivity, good coffee, seizing the day & driving bikes. The wheels below are a temporary acquisition from friend Mike, after Paul’s K1300R suffered a setback…like a mini engine blow up! Eek. Oh, I’m married to him btw…for 22 years* …
It’s delicious. It’s healthy. It’s MYOG. My kids are addicted & lately I find myself being coerced into chauffering them down to the store to take advantage of ‘happy hour’ between 7pm & 8pm. The cool thing, other than the amazing taste, & happy hour prices, is the unlimited toppings …
The Promenade hugs the coast from Mouille Point (directly translated from French as ‘wet point’ ), & winds it’s way, parallel to Beach Road, past Green Point, Sea Point & up until Bantry Bay. Fabulous for strolls, jogs, excercising on the lawns, socializing the dogs & so on. The famous …
It’s called the V&A Waterfront…some say it’s one of the best of its kind in the World. I would agree with that. The best waterfronts globally feature amenities that increase people’s comfort and enjoyment. Well positioned benches, good lighting & walkways determine how people use the space & encourage social …
So this is a fave place of mine, Tamboers Winkel, in the area of the same name, Tamboerskloof, which lies on the slopes of Lion’s Head and Signal Hill, adjacent to the neighbourhoods of Gardens and Bo-Kaap. This deli has only been open about a year & it’s tres popular. …
Kalk Bay’s working Harbour is a great place to stroll, buy fresh fish straight off the colourful wooden boats, watch seals lolling about in the water (like Robbie pictured below, waiting for hand outs) & take fab IG pics of course. If you take a boat ride outside the Harbour …
