Endless Summer
Make the most of your great outdoors South Africans love the outdoors. I ascribe this to 1) the fact that we have great outdoors and 2) the fact that we have great weather (mostly). I love watching our people squeeze the last drop of sunshine from summer. The braai master who braais in the rain [...]
Cosy up to Your Outdoors
The season I’ve been anticipating ever since summer began is finally here. It’s autumn, folks! Just the other day I grinned wistfully when – during my walk in the evening –I saw a flurry of brown leaves chasing one another down the road. There’s something I find magical about autumn, it’s the season of change, [...]
Sitting Around: The Beanbag Seats Edition
