My foxtail lilly is starting to bloom. I can't wait to see what it eventually looks like

Made me cry watching them enjoying the last moments of their lives without realising what was to come #airindia

WHO DID THIS ?!?!?

My son is working late tonight and I usually pay for him to get a cab home Tonight I've borrowed the car & am waiting outside his work for him Didn't bother changing out of my onesie, so I look like a wizard What son wouldn't love to see his mum turn up to his work like this?

My daughter always has tea & cereal for breakfast. This morning I felt an urge to make her coffee and toast. As I walked to her room, she called, " Mum, do you think I could have coffee and toast this morning for a change?" Her face when I appeared one second later 😱

I have a new neighbour who lives in the upstairs flat next door. He told me he loved it when I watered my garden because the smell wafts up to his room Tonight I was watering the garden. He opens his window and shouts down to me "Well done"

Amazing memories of a brilliant trip to South Africa this April

My beauty is staying in the shade today

I can't believe it was 2 years ago today that I was in Khiva, Uzbekistan Khiva's Itchan Kala (The Walled city) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the best preserved and incredible destinations on the Silk Road Just look at those walls

Whilst I was away. I asked my son to water my garden. He told me that he had left it to Mother Nature I was worried about what I'd return to, but Mother Nature has done me proud The garden is bursting with colour. I'm so happy

I booked wheelchair assistance for my daughter and it was flawless in Nairobi, Johannesburg & Cape Town. We were prioritised & treated with care Arrive at Heathrow and it's chaos. Like they weren't expecting anyone No wheelchairs, people made to hobble, herded into areas to wait for ages

The view from this apartment in Le Petit Karoo just outside Oudtshoorn was unbelievable

Ronnie's sex shop Barrydale, Klein Karoo

Trying Spekboom jam which comes from this succulent. Spekboom means bacon or pig tree because the leaves look like little pig ears

Known as Red Flames, Red Pagoda or Campfire plant, Crassula capitella is a perennial succulent plant native to southern Africa Isn't it a beauty?

The night sky in South Africa is something to behold.

Cutest bookshop in Parys #parys #southafrica

Romany Cream is a very popular biscuit here This Romany Cream and Nutella milkshake was incredible #parys #southafrica #Nutella #romanycream

Vredefort crater impact from space. The meteor hit the earth at 70km per second and penetrated 25 km into the ground, throwing up rocks that were deep in the earth's crust This geological wonder makes this a Unesco World Heritage site #vredefort #meteor #southafrica

Vredefort is at the centre of the largest meteor impact site in the world. The impact created a 300 km strike zone causing giant ripples in the earth's surface We took a sunset tour to the top of one of them, looking down into the crater Amazing

You cannot miss the Eiffel Tower if you're coming to Parys in South Africa

The Vaal river is in full flood and it's going to get worse #parys #southafrica #flood

We are staying at the Grewar House in Parys and it is unbelievable I want to live here forever

Cow on the road

The view from our accommodation in Le Petit Karoo just outside Oudtshoorn

Melktert pancakes. Literally to die for #klipkraal N12 Padstaal

We drove so high up Swartberg Pass that we were in the clouds looking down

We've just tried lambs tails and they were the most incredible taste ever The squeeze of lemon was perfection Ka'Roux restaurant in Victoria West

Swartberg Pass (Black Mountain Pass) is one of the most stunning places I've been through. Breathtaking views

Ostriches are such weird creatures. Eyes bigger than their brains

This was equally thrilling and terrifying Feeding impatient ostriches

A hot tub out in the open Karoo desert was quite magical

Pink gin with candy floss #PrinceAlbert

I'm so excited We are spending the night in the Karoo in a yellow school bus How amazing is this? Hot tub, fire, open skies as far as the eye can see #YellowKarooSchoolBus #Ladismith #WesternCape

For less than £5 you can get an incredible bottle of wine in a restaurant from a local vineyard #capevineyards

Driving into Montagu. The scenery is breathtaking

Muscadel tasting costing us £2 to sample 4 drinks Two types of Muscadel and two cocktails Really delicious #Ashton #Platform62

There's a place called Viljoensdrift where you can buy picnic stuff and then take it in a box onto the boat Weather was a bit unpleasant but a great idea

Oh hello

Bosjes Chapel built in 2016 to emulate the silhouette of surrounding mountain ranges whilst also paying tribute to the historic Cape Dutch gables of the Western Cape

We went to a wonderful olive tasting session at Oakhurst farms who produce award winning products. The olive and chilli marmalade was incredible and so unusual I've bought some to take home

The church at Worcester is stunning against the mountainous backdrop Sunlight pouring in at just the right time

In 1969 Tulbagh experienced a massive and unexpected earthquake which left 12 people dead The town has been rebuilt and is full of beautiful old buildings in front of incredible scenery and massive skies

We are staying in the most stunning Victorian house in Tulbagh Built in 1887 and kept just as it was It's like stepping back in time
