It really was a wild treasure wedding and it was like that because of the two of you.
Mallorie, your inner strength and harnessed wisdom is rare and so needed in our society and universe. It was honestly such a blessing to have you bring some of our truth to our wedding ceremony. It was the ribbon that bound the past weeks and months of careful preparation, thoughts and feelings together. It really was as Martin said, the foundation to our marriage and now we are privileged and gifted with th... Continue reading ...

Sunday dawned crystal clear as eight of us gathered beneath the cliffs of the Twelve Apostles - an eclectic bunch including a pro genetic modification activist, a Martha Beck Coach and an educational pioneer, what we all had in common was enthusiasm and a desire to experience the lesser known parts of Table Mountain. Accompanied by the sounds of a multitude of streams and miniature waterfalls rus...hing towards the Camps Bay Coast below,we climbed upwards - a compulsory passing through an ic...

When Nic and I envisioned our wedding, we
knew that we wanted a ceremony that was deeply meaningful to us as a
couple, as we both felt that all too often the marriage ceremony itself
is overshadowed by the reception and all the details of of decor and
design (which though amazingly fun to plan, are really, if you think
about it, secondary to having a life commitment witnessed by your loved
ones). So with that in mind, and the fact that Nic and I are from
completely different religiou... Continue reading ...

On a sparkling winters day last week, Mallorie and I headed off to the office, to do some navigation excercises and discuss upcoming projects. Hiking off path in a magical place down near Cape Point we came across this tortoise shell, nestling amongst restios as if it had been there for hundreds of years. Perhaps it had. I have never seen a live Leopard Tortoise that size. Regular fires here probably keep them small. We peeped through a large hole in the top of the carapice-it was completely ... Continue reading ...

 The Quiet PortalMy sister and I scatter our chatter along the twisting paths, through the cool Kloofs and over the pulling peaks tossing our complex lives out across the indifferent tussock grass across the heather raging mutely in her pink until slowly silence swallows our littering voices and the rain wrinkled rock rises up and wraps us in stillness. The clouds send flying saucer shadows over the buffeted hills. A budding Disa quivers on it’s curved stem like an unopened prayer. A spiral- shaped spide... Continue reading ...

 SUPRISESThere's no better place to be on a scorching hot day then a cool kloof whose pools and waterfalls and gnarled old trees draw you on and on until towering cliffs finally tell you that you have gone far enough. With the idea that it could be a slightly more adventurous day for clients who want to venture a little beyond Table Mountain, we went to explore a tributory to the Elandspad river in Dutoitskloof. Apart from a slightly exposed scramble at the star... Continue reading ...

ETHAN’S ADVENTURE
It began with Alison’s HAIRY request. "I have this FUN godson,
Ethan, who lives in the TERRIFYING city
of Johannesburg. It’s his STUNNING barmitsvah, and I want to do
something SHOCKING with him." The EXQUISITE
result was that Ethan received a ROUGH
invitation with instructions to bring his HIGH
sister, Gaby, on a bit of a TIRING
journey.
That is why a rather BEAUTIFUL group gathered in Kalk Bay early
on Monday morning. Ethan had just had a DELIGHTFUL
cr... Continue reading ...

Wild Mallorie managed to keep the even w... Continue reading ...

To kill passion - take it to a shopping mall

There amidst the germkilling lotions, the clean and kill potions , the bought in a bottle notions...

Finally it alights as small and fragile as a dragon -fly
And now I must take my thick growing fear
And drag it across the tarmac with my heavy load of safety gear
Have these two tiny pilots ever been in the sky?
Diamox, fleecy sox, water -filter, gortex jackets
Wasn’t there something else? What have we forgotten?
Check the list again. Oh dear-needle and cotton.
Tick Antibiotics, chlorine tablets, guide -books, rehydration packets
And why are the pilots consulting the aircraft manual?
Up, up we bob, ... Continue reading ...
