4 Things I Want To Do Before I Die

 

I could call this a bucket list but that has been written to death (pardon the pun) – so it is, what it is, a list of things I would like to do before I die!

  • Eat pizza in Italy, well not only pizza, pretty much anything Italian would do –washed down with plenty of Italian red wine. A tad like an “Eat Pray Love” experience – with mostly eating.

  • Learn how to surf, although with all the sharks lurking around our African shores at the moment, possibly not a good idea – maybe this needs to be at the bottom of my list.

 

  • Write a book and publish it, not sure what type of book, it could be a recipe book or a photo journal – I am not too fussy, as long as it has my name on it! ( I guess my blog is a good start)

  • Own a sports car, preferably a cabriolet – I have always wanted a Porsche but let’s face it I will not be too picky as long as it’s fast, furious and makes me look cool! 😎 [pullquote align=”right”](For some reason I cannot get the lyrics from “Daisy Daisy” out of my head – “I can’t afford a carriage. But you’ll look sweet, upon the seat, of a bicycle made for two.” – I guess if I can’t get the cab this will have to do!)[/pullquote]

4 Things That Inspire Me

 

After having a rather busy weekend both socially and around the house, I thought I would feel quite tired today but instead I feel inspired. It got me thinking about what exactly it is that inspires me? I have come to the conclusion that it is in fact not one isolated thing but a combination of things that gets me motivated and inspires everything I do.

My main sources of inspiration are:
  • My Gorgeous Family – what’s not to love, they may drive me mad at times but they each inspire me and all that I do. Just seeing the amount of passion and enthusiasm that they each possess is reason enough to get out of bed each day.
  • The beautiful city and country that I call home, I am inspired daily just looking out of my window, at the glory that surrounds me. We are a nation of inspiration!
  • I am inspired by beautiful things and I find nature is the best place to find true beauty – be it a tree, a flower or a sunset. A rose is my favourite; it reminds me of my girls, they start off as this tiny bud and blossom into something truly breath-taking!
  • So, how do I express my appreciation for all the things that inspire me – I love to take photographs and capture the moment forever. I find photography and the creativity it allows me, is my ultimate source of inspiration.

4 Things You Can Be Certain Of

 

4 Things You Can Be Certain Of:

 

  • Your children love you unconditionally, they do not care if the house is not tidy or whether you still need to lose five kilograms – they may not “like” you sometimes but their “love” is never under question!

  • True friends are friends no matter what, they do not care where you live, whether you wear designer clothing or if you serve take-out for dinner – these are the people who will come to your rescue, no matter the time – day or night!

  • You cannot choose your family, what you can do is choose to love them – you may not always agree with them but that’s the joy of life, it would be boring otherwise!

 

  • Money will not bring you true happiness or acceptance, it may bring you comfort and pleasure – true happiness can only be found in Faith, Family and Friends!

4 Things..., Cape Town, Lifestyle, Proudly South African

4 Things You Must Do When You Visit Cape Town:

Franschhoek

Table Mountain

Top Things to do in Cape Town

  •  First and foremost you have to take a trip up Table Mountain, it is the most spectacularly beautiful view you will probably see in the city. Those looking  for adventure can climb it but those less inclined can enjoy the splendour from the comfort of the Cableway. Either way be sure and pick a clear, non-windy day.
Table Mountain Cable Car
  • Cape Point is another one of  our many amazing attractions,  the views are out of this world and if you walk up to the top viewing point you can see almost the entire Western Cape. For those who are not as energetic (yes ok – lazy) there is a tram service, the “Flying Dutchman Funicular”, which you can take up to the Cape Point light house.

Cape Point Cape Town

  •  A visit to Kirstenbosch gardens is also a must, exploring our acclaimed National Botanical Gardens is a delightful way to spend a sunny afternoon. You can just wonder around the gardens and soak up nature or you can enjoy a meal in one of the restaurants in the gardens.

Franschhoek Cape Town

  •  Last but certainly not least is a visit to the Cape Winelands, you can start in the Constantia Valley and travel as far as Paarl and Robertson but my favourite, as I have mentioned before, is definitely Franschhoek. You can venture out on your own or join one of the many wine tours on offer.

No matter what you choose to do, you will definitely have fun exploring our amazing city – The Mother City, Cape Town!
