In die jaar 2011 het ek in die Vallei van die Olifants gewerk. Dis nou, net buite Hoedspruit, teen die oewer van die Blyde rivier en die hange van die Drakensberg, met ‘n mooi uitsig oor Mariepskop. Binne my eerste paar weke daar het een oggend wakker geword van ‘n vreemde blaas geluid reg bo…
I love experimenting with ways to serve food, especially South African Venison. This is what came out this weekend. This recipe serves two, so you can adjust accordingly or make smaller portions for starters. What you need for the meat: 2 Impala or Springbuck tenderloins Worcester Sauce (If you are eating low-carb, like we are,…
Ek sit hier plat op die mat en skryf vanaand. Die plaashuis waarin in ons bly het ‘n kaggel in ons slaapkamer en dis ‘n treffer nou dat die koue ons behoorlik beet het. Terwyl die vuur hier oorkant knetter en sis, dink ek oor bordspeletjies. My gunsteling is Scrabble. Die probleem is, hier is…
I am a lover of summer. If I was a bird, I would definitely be some kind of migrant. Not only do I love the heat, the sun and the abundance of growth, but I also love travelling. I’d love to be flying where the sun is shining. I am still a little bit in…
Ter ere van Wêreldomgewingsdag wil ek graag met julle ietsie deel oor ‘n koffie kafee in Bloemfontein wat regtig hulle deel doen vir die omgewing. Ek voel dat plekke soos die moet gevier word. Die koffie kafee, Coffee Talks Cafe is naby die Botaniese tuine en in Rayton kleinhoewe omgewing, Bloemfontein. Van buite af nooi ‘n…
Introducing Crocuta to a male It was time for Crocuta to no longer be in human company, but be with her own kind. Of all the phases this was the most difficult one for me. How will I know if it will work or not? Wild animals, and actually most animals, cannot really be controlled.…
Wat is jou gelukkigste herinneringe as ‘n kind. Myne is ongetwyfeld Wildtuin vakansies. Dit is ook waar my liefde vir die natuurlewe, die veld en voëlskyk met rasse skrede gegroei het. Ook waar die droom om eendag in die platteland te woon begin vorm het. Ons wildtuin vakansies, waarna ons maande uitgesien het, was die…
This is the story of Crocuta continued. At around 8/9 months old, Crocuta was still living in and around camp with us. At this point I did not allow her in our house anymore, but on the odd occasion she did come in, she was like a happy child. Jumping on couches and bookshelves and…
How many ways are there to enjoy a cup of coffee? A thousand probably. Alone, to wake up in the morning, at lunch with a friend, over a good conversation, in a meeting, quickly at work or a firm favourite, in a coffee cafe, with the buzz of people all around you and that familiar…
Sy het die rosies aspris so gepak. So asof dit vir ‘n Instagram foto is. Als moet perfek wees. Asof dit ‘n verskil gaan maak. Hulle gaan tog vandag kom sê wat hul wil. Dit is reeds op die kaarte. Haar hout vensters is effe verweer en die blikbeker het sy uit haar kampkrat…
