About the blogger

I’m a marketeer and geek by day, a blogger by moonlight and one day when I’m big I want to be a jazz singer. I’m a fan of gardening, the outdoors, cats, proteas, grammar, meerkats, artichokes, Barcelona and all things pretty. Having led a nomadic existence in Africa, America, Australia and Europe, I now proudly reside in Cape Town.
