My Interests
I like being outside, if only in our suburban garden, planting herbs and vegetables and harvesting some salad ingredients or cutting some flowers. The mountains and beaches around Cape Town are my favorites for a day out. I love cooking and trying out new recipes. I read, mainly Afrikaans poetry. Language fascinate me and I hope to learn another one in the near future.
