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 don’t think I’ll ever make serious money out of my preserves but I really value the friends I have and it’s my way of showing love. I suppose I was influenced by my grandmother who had a beautiful old farmhouse. She […]
