Bayworld cut-out
A week or so ago the Friends of Bayworld hosted a hugely successful Night at the Museum at the Port Elizabeth Museum at Bayworld. The place was packed to the bleachers and I don't think they ever expected in their wildest dreams that they will have such an overwhelming turnout. I get to visit Bayworld fairly often for tourism purposes and it was great to take a walk around with the family for a change and share with them all…

Malva Pudding recipe
Over the weekend the Damselfly made malva pudding and I decided to nab her recipe for a post. Malva pudding is a sweet baked pudding of Cape Dutch origin, usually served hot with custard, cream or ice-cream. My mom always made a double portion of the sauce and we would then eat it with the sauce poured over (like I did this weekend as you can see in the picture). It is made with apricot jam and has a spongy caramelized…

Rain Spider nest
Spiders are commonplace in live and everybody have had flatties in their homes that sometimes (not always) get ignored as they are totally harmless. But every now and then one makes their way into the house you just can't ignore, even if they are relatively harmless. Who has never found a rain spider in a corner or behind a curtain and not just about freaked. The Common Rain Spider (Palystes superciliosus) is a species of huntsman spider commonly and widespread found in South Africa. …

The beautiful Donkin Reserve mosiac
It didn't take long for Route 67 to become a true Port Elizabeth icon and being situated on the equally iconic Donkin Reserve has become a must see to tourists visiting the city. Even though the Voting Line and the Great Flag has become two of the most identifiable art pieces forming part of the route, the one that is photographed just as much is the Piazza Mosaic. Covering 470 square meters the mosaic celebrates Port Elizabeth and the Eastern…

“Reconsider South Africa” and experience it with all your senses
https://youtube.googleapis.com/v/zv1MU_Nh8ck&source=uds"What is beauty? Is it a view that's been waiting for you for centuries? A setting that gives you goosebumps when you see it for the first time? A scene so striking it remains in your memory forever? Is it a moment that stops you in your tracks and leaves you in awe? Some people spend their whole lives looking for them. When you open yourself up to it, suddenly you find yourself in a place where true beauty isn't…

Old time kitchen
My favorite part of the No 7 Castle Hill historical museum is the old kitchen. It always reminds me of my grandmother who had a number of the implements in her kitchen. It doesn't matter how many times I go there there is always something new to discover and showing kids around there is a wonderful experience as they just can't believe what some of the things got used for.

Colchester on Pasella
https://youtube.googleapis.com/v/zb3eyqMpzUc&source=udsIt's always nice to see Port Elizabeth and it's surrounds feature on television and amongst these programs is Pasella on SABC 2. A week or so ago I posted the Geocaching in Port Elizabeth insert that I "starred" in and I decided to go and see which of the other PE related inserts I could find. There are about 3 or 4 which I will post in the next few weeks and I think from there on I will find a…

Enjoying the view
The best part of any walk or hike is enjoying the scenic views, like Cathy was doing here on the Flamingo Trail at Swartkops a little while ago.
