A French Affair

A French Affair

A few weeks ago we finally visited L’atelier for our post-Sunday run breakfast. We had been trying to visit this beautiful spot for weeks, but it hadn’t been open on Sunday mornings due to limited COVID operating hours.

What a treat and …..

That's Nice

Since the 7th of June 2020, when South African lockdown levels were lifted to level 3, and we were allowed to exercise further than the 5km radius from home, we started running every Sunday morning. What started as a way to socialise with friends, get out of the house and support small businesses soon became a Sunday tradition and the search for the best croissants in Joburg.

South Coast Gems

South Coast Gems

The South African South Coast has a lot more to offer than many people may think. We’ve spent many a happy holiday in Ramsgate, and there is always a list of places I have to visit when in the area. But why keep these little gems to myself? 2020 was a tough year for everyone, and we’ve done our best to support small businesses.

We ran in search of the best croissants in town. Each week it would be a different person’s turn to set the route and choose the coffee shop.

Where to begin? ..... Breakfast!

I've been thinking about how to start my blog for months, no, years! Finally it's time to get it going! But where to begin, well, what about breakfast. Now one of my favourite meals. I think breakfast is a good start.

I'm not sure about you, but toast and cereal have become really boring, and are not very sustaining. I'm hungry again after an hour.
