Sunday Meanderings – Winelands Light Railway

January 17, 2020
Winelands Light Railway - Stellenbosch - Sawdust and High Heels

If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram, you would have seen my recent post about Winelands Light Railway, situated just outside of Stellenbosch. A few weeks ago, my mom sent Hubs and I a link for a relatively new thing-to-do-with-kids nearby – riding mini trains! I can remember riding them as a kid, but… Read More Sunday Meanderings – Winelands Light Railway

There are few places that are repeat visits for our family, simply because of the number of places that we want to visit in our area. However, both my husband and I have visited Sanddrif on a number of occasions over the past 30 years so or, both each independently with family and friends and… Read More Weekend Getaway – Sanddrif at Dwarsrivier, Cederberg

I’ve been thinking, I know that I promise to share our day trips and road trips with you, but for some reason I don’t include the smaller ones – the ones to the beach or to the park. So, I’m going to introduce “Sunday Meanderings” to the travel section of this blog.

Rivierplaas – The perfect weekend getaway

January 7, 2019
Rivierplaas - Sawdust and High Heels (12)

Those who know us, know that we love to break away every so often and go camping. When Hubs heard that I had managed to secure some January leave, he extended his leave and got to work finding somewhere for us to escape to. He soon found Rivierplaas campsite, with one site still available for… Read More Rivierplaas – The perfect weekend getaway

Romancing the home: A trip to market

October 21, 2018
Blaauwklippen 3 - Stellenbosch Markets - Sawdust and High Heels

This week’s challenge or theme for #romancingthehome was a trip to the market. In case you didn’t realise it from my Kamers post, I love markets. The vibe, the produce, the local makers, the live music… there aren’t many better ways to spend a day off! Luckily for us, Cape Town and surrounds has so… Read More Romancing the home: A trip to market

Romancing the Home – A picnic among the daisies

September 23, 2018
Picnic 13 - West Coast National Park - Sawdust and High Heels

I love a good picnic! When this week’s #romancingthehome theme happened to coincide with a road trip up the west coast, it only seemed right that we set our picnic up in the West Coast National Park. It is, after all, Flower Season.

Hijacking – what’s your plan?

August 20, 2018
Peerboomskloof Pass - Sawdust and High Heels

Hijacking… have you ever given it any thought? I can tell you that in all our travels, we have never given it a second thought. We live in a beautiful country, which we love to explore. Whether that is taking a day trip up the West Coast to look at the flowers, or a 2… Read More Hijacking – what’s your plan?

Day trip: Paarl Mountain Nature Reserve

August 13, 2018
Paarl Mountain Nature Reserve 12 - Sawdust and High Heels

When last have you visited the Paarl Mountain Nature Reserve? I can tell you that it’s a place that Hubs and I hadn’t visited for a good 15 years until recently. This despite the fact that it’s only about a 20 minute drive from home and it has the most beautiful (and safe) braai (barbecue)… Read More Day trip: Paarl Mountain Nature Reserve
