We have been priviledged this year to photograph some outstanding musical talent and Me'sha Bryan is no exception! Photographing the band for their latest DVD release was great fun and the image above is a copy of the DVD inlay, designed by the very talented Lise-Mari to accompany the video footage by Coetzee AV Productions .

A copy of the article we did for the luxury lifestyle Lusso Magazine on a journey through the West of Scotland onboard the Royal Scotsman . What an incredibly memorable experience... Gliding past lochs with the steady rhythm of the rails below or enjoying cocktails on the veranda, this is true Scottish splendour.

A fond farewell to London, as we return to South Africa after almost 3 years in the UK this time.  The vibrancy of this city is amazing and we dearly miss our good friends and the services and brunch at HTB !  It's hardly possible to describe our experiences in one blog entry, but we have so much to be thankful for and will always treasure the time of our lives spent here.  Thank you London... Until we meet again! Thames, with view of city and Tower Bridge at sunset Entrance of St Thomas' Hospital, London.

After a long silence, we have a lot of catching up to do!  The first of which is to share with you our excitement about the brand new CD released by KerkSonderMure (ChurchWithoutWalls) .  We are delighted to have taken the cover image of this album and would like to congratulate them with a great production! 

I love the idea of a quiet weekend away, but dread searching through website after website to find the perfect place.  What a great relief (and excitement!) to stumble across this gem on the Premier Cottages website , located only 90 min drive from London.  The warm welcome we received upon arrival set the scene for a beautifully serene experience.  The cottages  offer glorious views over the Nene Valley, with miles of country tracks to roam. Surrounding canola fields gave us a sneak preview of the yellow splendour to come and the nearby ancient market town of Oundle offered not only lovely Jurassic limestone buildings, but also a magnificent cup of coffee at  Beans .
