To my English-speaking followers, thank you for popping in. I blog about a sustainable lifestyle in Afrikaans because I feel there are not nearly enough Afrikaans voices for the environment. Ek weet hierdie artikel moes al ‘n week gelede op die blog gewees het. Ek moes egter my brose wens-ek-was-100%-nulvullis-ego bymekaarskraap om hierdie te skryf.…

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…

We recently had some rain, and more rain upstream. The river that run’s through Bakoorvlakte flooded and everything is green. It’s my favourite time of the year, when everything is so lush. It always inspire me to walk around, explore and take pictures and also its a lovely time of the year to do bird…
I would like to share with you, one of my very favourite places to go to eat lunch and relax and shop. The Constantia Farm Stall. So, its almost time for the Cherry Festival. The official festival will be held in Ficksburg, but all around Ficksburg area things will start to happen as off…
