CT diary #10: antiques & slow food

On my last Friday night I stayed with friends Sean KellandJenna-lea Kelland at their gorgeous house in Somerset West. They actually laughed at me, because I was so fascinated by their decor.. the place is just filled with antiques, second hand finds + all things vintage. Which I love. I spent ages just walking around staring. The wallpaper on the doors, and the stunning Victorian-type baths were what sold it for them - the rest they added afterwards.







jenna-lea bakes but she also cooks:)

The next morning Jen took me to some boot sales, then we took a drive to Stellenbosch, to the Slow Food Market, which was packed since there had just been a big bike race. We ate outside, overlooking the vineyards & the mountains. South Africa has it all.

CT diary #9: signal hill

On the Friday morning of my trip, some friends and I went for breakfast at Signal Hill. My last visit there had been in the evening, accompanied by gale force winds - so it was great to see the view during the day this time, with far less hair-blowing. I wore a hat anyway, as a precautionary measure.
