It is officially family holiday time and we will be away for the next week, so no posts, no email, newsletters or social networking! Just a much-needed time out from routine and the daily grind! I cannot wait to spend this special time with my amazing family, a time to recharge and refresh us all.
So happy holidays to you all and I will be sure to share my photographs and stories when I return!

This past weekend we spent a rather chilly night in the Karoo, celebrating a friends 40th Birthday. It has been quite a while since we have travelled along the N1 in that direction but we were keen for an adventure. [Read more…]
A few weeks ago we spent a long weekend in the small town of Bot River in the Overberg, which is just outside Hermanus. The town is nestled at the bottom of the Houw Hoek Mountains. The Bot River, where the town gets is name, meanders its way through a fertile valley surrounded by mountains covered in fynbos, historical wine farms and fields of wheat. The landscape it very pretty and a tapestry of colour to behold.
Hermanus is a mere 10 minute drive from Barton Vineyards where we were staying, so you are not too far away from civilisation if you need to pop out to the shops. If you are keen on a bit of wine tasting the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley is a must.
The farm we stayed on was very private and perfect for an escape from the city and long walks in the vineyards. We even had the pleasure of a rather curious Peacock walking on our front lawn! {photo’s of the Peacock courtesy of my youngest – Jessica}

We all rely quite heavily on technology, even though most of us don’t like to admit it! How often do you leave your cell phone at home and feel like you have lost an arm! We can say what we like, but technology has become a part of our everyday lives. We all like to be connected whether it’s by cell phone, tablet or lap top it does not really matter, as long as you are able to make the connection. So when we have to travel internationally this can cause a bit of a problem, trying to get your cell phone cleared for international roaming can be a rather frustrating process or having to borrow a phone from someone while you are travelling can be somewhat inconvenient. So what if I told you there is an amazing new product that could remedy these issues?
Flyconnected is a new company, that provides travellers with the convenience of getting connected before they fly. They have the best deals with unlimited data and lots of text and call credit. With Flyconnected you can not only save money by getting your UK SIM card here in SA before you fly but you can also let your friends, family or colleagues know your number before you leave on your trip. You will be able to leave your number on your voice mail and out-of-office message, making it much easier for people to be able to contact you while you are away.
Some of the other benefits of using Flyconnected are that you will be connected with the UK’s biggest 3G network, giving you complete peace of mind and you have the convenience of being able to order your “bundle” online.
