Stony Point Nature Reserve — PK Photography

This reserve on the shore of the Western Cape, South Africa, features a colony of wild African penguins.  These penguins are found in the waters off southern Africa and nest in colonies scattered along the coast.  They are an endangered species, having been severely impacted by factors such as oil spills, the sale of their […]… Read More Stony Point Nature Reserve — PK Photography

Victoria Young-Pugh started the only zero-waste store in Hermanus, Victoria’s Pantry, a year ago. I caught up with her to talk about eco-conscious living in the Overberg. Victoria’s Pantry and other Hope Street Market secrets in Hermanus: Green Route — Green Route ZA

Lighthouse2Lighthouse Ladies Charity Walk 2021

It wasn’t meant to be. Me walking Lighthouse2Lighthouse this year. Last year we just finished the annual 4 day walk along the Overberg coastline when the President announced that South Africa will go into a lockdown. This year regulations did not allow for a March walk and when relaxations were finally tabled there was only… Read More Lighthouse2Lighthouse Ladies Charity Walk 2021

Langebaan Weekend with Sisters

February is the month of love – sister love! 2 of the 3 Kröhn sisters have their birthdays in Feb and if that’s not enough partying, my niece René celebrates her arrival in this weird and wonderful world.

No Horsing Around in Hemel-en-Aarde

As I drove to Bosman Hermanus yesterday I crossed the De Bos Dam on the Karwyderskraal Road and saw the turnoff to Oldlands Studs. An brief, yet undeniable twinge of joy filled my heart. Why? The scenery? Yes, that too. The relatively full dam and vineyards of Sumaridge, Bosman’s and Newton Johnson are all very… Read More No Horsing Around in Hemel-en-Aarde

February for visiting wineries

On the first day of February our President gave to us… the freedom to visit our beaches, the allowance to frequent wineries and enjoy a drink at restaurants and wine bars. With these easing of lockdown regulations there will be many firsts for 2021 as I trot off tomorrow to my favourite swimming spot at… Read More February for visiting wineries

Overberg Authors

My list of Overberg authors tallies 38 local writers. For a relatively small area of 1708km2 I recon that’s a lot of pen power. It must say something about the creative inspiration of our naturally irresistible region? Nielsen Bookscan SA made their 2020 list of popular Afrikaans books available and there it is again… A… Read More Overberg Authors

Overberg Hikes: Spooknek, Kleinmond

On Sundays I always have to urge to head for the mountains. Almost always that is. There are days that I just wish to stay in with a coffee and move over to the beach armed with a book. On the fourth Sunday in January I got up early to do a virtual walk as… Read More Overberg Hikes: Spooknek, Kleinmond

Hermanus Saturday Morning Swims

Today will be my 2nd Saturday morning swim with a group of girls. What is the common denominator? A lust for life. The idea is that we pick a different swimming spot – usually a tidal pool every Saturday morning and meet up for a swim at 7:00. Lots of chatter during the splash and… Read More Hermanus Saturday Morning Swims
