Just so you know, that is a legitimate lake in Senegal, made pink due to a chemical reaction between its high mineral content and high salt content. Add to bucket list: swim in the pink lake.

Im off to Joburg tonight, again, for my friend’s bachelorette.

Enjoy the public holiday tomorrow!

These Gray Malin photographs of aerial beach views (taken from a helicopter no less!) are seriously rubbing in my winter blues. Not only do I want to blow them up and hang them, well, everywhere, but I’m so tempted to dive right in and join all the fun.  After spending the weekend in Joburg and two week’s ago being in Durban- it is safe to say, Cape Town definitely has the coldest winter.

Happy Monday, for some this is just a three day week.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELLA.

{Ella at 6 weeks}

Yes, I know I’m in Durban on holiday but I couldn’t help but wish my little Princess Ella a very happy first birthday.  I wish I could be home with her and Jack today.  I can’t believe it’s been less than a year that, I have had this little angel.

{Ella at 8 weeks}

It’s been the best couple of month’s of my life having her and Jack.  When I first got her, she was so tiny but so bossy and would dominate the house and be in charge of Jack.  She was the fattest little puppy I have ever seen.

{Ella with her big brother Jack}

{Ella at 8 months}

Ella has quite literally changed my life and I am completely besotted with both her and Jack.  I had never owned a dog until Jack {who is 7months older than Ella} and was so nervous about having both of them.  Still to this day I panic that I’ve left the door or the garage open.  I make sure they always have food, a hot water bottle and treats.  Ella and Jack must be two of the most spoilt little dogs alive.

{Ella with her mommy, when she was 4 months}

We’ve made it through one year and I can’t wait for all the other years we spend together.  Ella is such a little princess.  She has the kindest little personality ever, she never gets grumpy or angry {unless you try move her when she’s asleep} She loves treat’s and will carry her rusk’s around all day with her tail wagging before she decides to eat it.  No matter how cold it is, or how fast asleep she may be, when she hear’s us coming home she will run downstair’s and wait at the door of us…

{Ella at 11 months}

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELLA my little princess.  I love you more than you will ever know.  Love from mummy and daddy {we both know daddy doesn’t like us calling him that}.  Cant wait to be home with you and Jack in a few more sleeps.

xoxoxo

Durban.

The boyf and I are off to my home town, Durban for the week to spend some time with my family. Jack and Ella have their favourite friend Lesley {from Dogsitter’s} moving in to look after them.  Any way, have a lovely week {at work}.

xoxo

boyfriends birthday.

Today is the boyfriend’s birthday.  So Im allowed to be all lovey duvey on my blog.  This time last year we were in Botswana celebrating his birthday in the middle of the bush (see here). I’ve baked him a yummy cake and we will be spending today together doing birthday things and eating lots of cake and sweets Im sure.

Happy Birthday to my best friend and lover ♥
