Breathing space

Heading off to a private game farm next to Kruger Park for a few days.

Looking forward to the clean air, bushveld serenity spotting an Ellie or few.

Where did he flamin'go?

A special card, found just for me, from a special girl. 

Thank you my friend.

Hopping around

Bunnies

Off to deepest darkest Africa (okay, so maybe just to Botswana, but I am comparing it to Cape Town) this weekend for a week of blissful nothingness. Quality time with The Folks, mum's cooking, dads G&T’s, morning tea in bed, my book, E! Entertainment, the Royal Wedding, and maybe a few Easter eggs. 

Hell in Africa!

Happy Easter everyone.

Styling sisters

Eldest, Middlest, Youngest

Sister Middlest has just returned to the States after a brief visit to the Mother City last week. We had a fun day of styling with our fabulous Dress Sense cousin on Saturday...things have (thankfully) changed somewhat since these pics were taken. Although my sunnies and Eldest's parka are still hot.

Love at First Sight

Flamingo’s love a lily pond. This one in particular. I think I stood in front of this trilogy of paintings for an hour. Just staring at their sheer beauty and magnificence. Never have I loved a lily pond more. And I doubt I ever will. It truly was love at first sight.

I heart New York

A few of my friends & family have been lucky enough to find themselves in New York over the last couple of days... jealous!

The architecture, the people, it's endless energy, the lights, the shops and the street & high art. I heart it all.

Trusting the Powers-That-Be.

 Not a lot is going right today, so I am going to trust in the 'Powers That Be' that everything is going to be AMAZING, soon. Good.

Celebrating another year

It's my birthday tomorrow, and to celebrate I'm having a little picnic at The Roundhouse. Views of Camps Bay, Pimms & Lemonade, strawberry panacotta,  friends & family (and presents). 

Lovely!

Ff is for Flamingo

So today I begin my blog... it's name is inspired by a nickname 'My Person' gave me at varsity (she was less fortunate with 'Moose' bestowed to her), and stems from hours of economics studying (intuitively), my long limbs, and a tendency I have to stand on one leg...apparently. So here is to all things interesting, inspiring or amusing... even if just to me (and in that case, probably to Moose too).
