London 2012
It’s been 4 years since my last visit to London so I was interested to see how things had changed considering that since my last visit the city has hosted the Olympics and the financial crash. Things certainly have changed a bit, but I don’t know if those changes are related to either of these events. The…

On Tuesday the 16th of October, Virgin Atlantic activated their direct flight from Cape Town to London which they offer during the summer months. I was asked if I would fly to London for a week and report on the experience and I agreed to do it. While in London, I would use the Virgin…

Cadbury’s Bubbly Challenge – The Video
A couple of weeks ago I was flown up to Joburg by Cadbury’s to compete in the Bubbly Challenge. Most of my readers thought it was something to do with champagne, which is understandable.

National Braai Day Celebration ticket giveaway
I think Braai Day is a great idea, it ties well into Heritage day. But to be honest, I often don’t get to braai on Braai Day. I live in an apartment, so I can’t braai at home and I have very few friends so I don’t get invited to braai at their places. It’s…

Health and Fitness – Take 2
The last time I wrote about health and fitness was 2 years ago when I trained at One80. Since that time my fitness and health slowly deteriorated due to not prioritising exercise and eating calorie dense restaurant food most nights of the week. I had decided a while ago that I needed to do something…

Liberty’s Restaurant at the Upper Eastside Hotel
Rooftop farming is a growing phenomenon overseas, and it’s starting to catch on here. I believe urban agriculture, including rooftop farming, will be one of the important ways that we will reduce the carbon footprint (and potentially the price) of the food we eat. It will also be a way of circumventing the evils of…

Bubbly Challenge – The Build-up
You must have heard about the new Cadbury’s Bubbly chocolate. If you haven’t heard people raving about the actual chocolate or seen it in the shops, then you’ve seen the TV advert with the floating cows (below). I’ve actually tasted the chocolate, so I get what people are raving about. It also comes in Cadbury’s…
