Jo and I went to Kalk Bay to buy a wetsuit for kloofing and canyoning. Afterwards, we went for an amble at the harbour. One of my favourite places with its multicoloured boats, photographic lighthouse and beautiful views of the mountain.

Reunited with Jo at the airport
We took our photo in front of a photographic wall mural which caused a bit of confusion when we shared it on Whatsapp!

Nostalgic music from my childhood and teens
"Every life has a soundtrack." Jodi Picoult
I love that you can embed your Spotify playlists into your web site. Here are the songs that were the soundtrack of my childhood and teens. I had so much fun compiling it and revisiting songs, many of which have special, vivid memories attached.

Beautiful photos by Jo
There was a massive storm in Cape Town a month or so again and Jo, being the adventurous soul she is, went to Kalk Bay to brave the blizzard and capture this amazing photo of crashing waves.

My favourite instrumental music from movies
Music is such an important part of a movie. It sets the mood and can help turn the movie into a deeply emotional experience. The most gifted composers of musical scores are, in my view, the modern equivalents of Beethoven and Mozart.
Here are my favourite music themes. I can listen to them over and over again.

Royal National Park Figure of Eight Pools in the Royal National Park
This is one of my favourite parts of the Royal National Park. Lovely to be out with the boys again.
