Comment on life in general.

SANParks have been working on a plan to upgrade the Tokai Manor House precinct, and at last make proper use of the buildings in that area. This week they had an open day to share the proposals with the public and ask for feedback.

You Know You Are... 07 Jul 2010

Dinner with Lance Armstrong 10 Mar 2010

The Seapoint Promenade. Known to all Capetonians as the place to run, walk dogs and socialise. Where all the good looking people come out to get a bit of exercise and, quite literally, promenade up and down the Promenade.
But not this weekend....
Banff Mountain Film Festival 2008 29 Aug 2008
So it's Banff time again. When everyone in the cinema is wearing labels such as Capestorm, First Ascent and North Face. It's a social event for outdoor enthusiasts as much as it is an evening at the movies. The audience "ooh's" and "aah's" in...
