Op 13 Oktober 2019 het ek op Schiphol geland met my tasse, ‘n werk, ‘n visum, ‘n vae droom en twee vriendinne wat my op die lughawe kom ontmoet. Die afgelope 6 jaar was só vol lewensveranderende dinge dat ek skaars weet waar om te begin. Ek het die man van my drome ontmoet, enContinue reading “Terugblik: 6 jaar later”

Terugblik: 6 jaar gelede
Ses jaar gelede het ek op n KLM vliegtuig geklim om ‘n nuwe lewe te begin. Ek was onserker. Ek was vol gedagtes en ervaringe van my Peru tydperk wat pas afgeloop get. Ek was moeg van admin doen: 3 weke is n kort tyd vir paspoort,lisensie,ID hernu plus alles inpak vir trek . EkContinue reading “Terugblik: 6 jaar gelede”
Kreatiewe uitlaat
Ek was gisteraand by Frocktails NL. Dit is ‘n cocktail partytjie waar almal ‘n uitrusting dra wat hulle self gemaak het, en speel met die Engelse woord “Frock.” My uitrusting was maande lank in verskillende toestande van beplanning en uitvoering en ek is tevrede met die eindresultaat. Die wonderlike aspek vir my is dat ditContinue reading “Kreatiewe uitlaat”
Neem die tyd
Vandag het ek die nuus gesien dat my koor meester en viool onderwyser oorlede is. Ek glo nog altyd musiekonderwysers is bietjie nader aan jou menswees, dalk omdat mens nie kan musiek maak sonder om jou siel daarin te sit nie. Elke week, vir daardie les tyd, los mens die sorge van die wêreld byContinue reading “Neem die tyd”
Holiday within a holiday

Between the admin and catch ups we managed to take in the views of the Mother City and see some heart people friends and family alike Visiting any of my brothersContinue reading “Holiday within a holiday”

I want to take the time to document some of our amazing adventures, to capture and share the memories. I wantContinue reading “Into a fresh new year”
Nostalgia
South African legend, Laurika Rauch, has a song called Nostalgie, meaning literally Nostalgia. I have always loved the song but I never realised that nostalgia had a taste. Until… Yes, Melktert. I’ve lived abroad for 6 and a half years and through the years I’ve learnt what it is that I can live without, butContinue reading “Nostalgia”
Exploring County Wexford, Waterford, and More in Ireland
A couple of years ago we decided to visit Ireland for a holiday. We flew into Dublin and immediately headed south to County Wexford where our mate Willy lives. To say I was charmed is an understatement, from the Donkeys, the farmyard, chickens and of course Jack the dog, it was as if it wasContinue reading “Exploring County Wexford, Waterford, and More in Ireland”
Dublin City break
Part of the Ireland experience is visiting Dublin to explore what the city has to offer, including a taster of the beverage kind. We arrived in the afternoon and started our adventure at the whiskey museum. We did try to book the option to blend our own, but it was sold out, so we didContinue reading “Dublin City break”
When the ducks go off on a tangent
I generally consider myself a functioning human being. To the outside world it may even seem like I have all my ducks in a row. Well I guess the truth is out that the proverbial ducks are mostly held together with string and bubblegum and every so often they breakaway and go off on aContinue reading “When the ducks go off on a tangent”
