My Freedom Day triumph

My Freedom Day triumph

Five, four, three, two, one … By the time our relay team even­tu­ally started the 7,5 km race from Robben Island to Blou­bergstrand on Sun­day, the sus­pense had become unbear­able. Already the race had been post­poned by a day because of rainy weather. Now, our 10.30 start had been delayed by more than three hours because […]

Capsicum and Chilli Jam

  “I love cook­ing – it’s prob­a­bly where I’m in my hap­pi­est cre­ative place.

I sup­pose I was influ­enced by my grand­mother who had a beau­ti­ful old farm­house. She […]

Coyote Grill, laid back eatery in Laguna Beach

Just out­side the trendy hus­sle and bus­sle of Down­town Laguna Beach is the friendly Coy­ote Grill.

Their food is pre­pared fresh by hand every­day. Many […]

Where do you live and how long have you lived there? We have lived in the LA area for 1 1/2 years (time flies!) How would you describe your sub­urb? Beau­ti­ful.

Exotic Quirimbas Archipelago, Northern Mozambique

Sue Segar, recently trav­elled to the remote and exotic Quir­im­bas Arch­i­pel­ago in north­ern Mozam­bique. What do Daniel Craig, David Roth­schild and Tokyo Sexwale have in com­mon?

Covertly Corporate

It’s rain­ing as I step out of the train and onto a sod­den city cen­tral plat­form. I mar­vel at how I choose to go cor­po­rate on the very day the heav­ens open in Queens­land. I com­mend myself on my choice of outfit—in essence, my spare wed­ding ensem­ble from my niece’s recent nuptials—the sen­si­ble attire I rejected in favour of a frothy, friv­o­lous dress. Fash­ion­istas Trinny and Susan­nah would be proud.
