Arriving

October 30, 2010 Stories

It’s an absolutely stunning, calm, sunny day here in Gordon’s Bay. Even though I’m feeling a little bit more tired lately (you know someone’s eating off my ticket, right?) the Bear and I have still been for a walk, done some laundry, washed the dishes, written on the patio with chalk, sprayed the chalk with [...]

I Once Was from Umbridge

Sometimes it’s best

October 21, 2010 Prayers in Poetry & Prose

Sometimes after passing back one more piece of candy, one more book, one more toy, shushing someone else’s discomfort, your own tired soul, and eyes that have stared out the window at some of the most beautiful mountain passes you’ve ever seen though you’re too tired even to say so… deep thoughts passed with meadows [...]

Travelling Tuesday: Another Slice of Life OR Being Two is a Piece of Cake

October 19, 2010 Travel..ling Tuesdays

As you mayhaps have already gathered, we’ve been enjoying a wee week’s visit in Bloemfontein.
