Summer in the Sun

So, I realise this post has little to do with my Bucket List, but here's a tiny window into my summer holiday.

Kleinemonde, Eastern Cape

My family has been holidaying in this little seaside spot for several years now, and it's really crept into my heart. It's a precious thing to be able to go back to a magical place year after year. You begin to feel like you know the rocks and the trees; and when the sand dunes shift and the estuaries open, it's like you need to catch up on each other's news.

I love reuniting with holiday friends around a blazing bonfire on the beach, sipping slightly warm beer out of a sandy bottle until the sun comes up. Every year, everyone gets a little older, and every year, a little closer.

Whatever Floats Your Boat

Zoo Lake, Parkview

Oh, sweet romance! To row a little boat on a lake, and feed bread to the ducks and geese; what could be more adorable on a sunny Sunday afternoon? Okay, so we forgot to bring bread, but it was still delightful.

If you live in Johannesburg, you simply must row a boat on Zoo Lake.

Lomo in Lumo

Just before I left Joburg for the summer holidays, I bought myself a little Christmas present... or two. On the way back from a visit to the Johannesburg Art Gallery to see the French Connection exhibition (which is well worth the visit), I popped into the Lomography Embassy Store at 70 Juta Street to pick up some film for the holidays.

Embassy had some amazing Christmas specials, and so, to my own surprise, I came home with two new lumo Lomo cameras! (Let it be known that I remain ever loyal to my trusty LCA+).

The Sprocket Rocket, in shocking yellow!

I went wild with them this holiday, so watch this space for a sneak peak at my summer adventures.
