We were supposed to leave Scotland today and return home, but unknown to us when we booked to stay in Kirkcudbright, this was the week of their Jazz festival and today was the Jazz Brolly Parade. Now I don’t know about you, but I haven’t seen a Brolly Parade so this I wanted to see. Fortunately we managed to get an EXTRA day in our accommodation. So join in!

After a lovely leisurely road-trip through the Garden Route we headed back to the Western Cape, deciding to spend our last three nights in Franschhoek. If this post doesn’t entice you to at least consider a trip to the Western Cape, then I don’t know what will.

Where is your favourite foodie town? Please let me know, I’m always up for a visit 🙂
This week in Kirkcudbright — pronounced Kirr-coo-bree — I have been checking out the property in the old town, notable for its colourful façades. Obviously an excuse to have a lingering look at the windows.

Returning to Cape Town from seeing the elephants at Addo, once again we were travelling along the Garden Route, this time stopping in a different area to explore more of this lovely country. Surely the name alone will entice you to visit.

A lovely Grade II* listed windmill on the beautiful North Norfolk coast this windmill has been converted into a guest house where you can stay in one of the rooms on a B&B basis or self catering in one of the outbuildings. You can hire the entire windmill over Christmas if you have a few friends or family to share it with. With walks onto the salt-laden marshes straight from the front door it is a perfect place to get away from it all. Magic!
