Massive shout out to #Ford who have just invested Massive shout out to #Ford who have just invested R15,8 billion into South Africa and the production plant at Silverton. Job creation, skills development and a solid commitment to our country. But that's not all. Last year at the outset of #COVID19 that made and delivered thousands of face shields for essential workers.Then they embraced their female fans and the #FordRangeHER campaign saw groups of women traversing the country providing water tanks and PPE to rural schools and hospitals.Lekker cars and a big heart and social conscience. Very proud to work with you guys#ShesGotRange  #GoFurther #EverConquering  #InvestSA #TshwaneAutoSEZ #FordRanger  #Raptor #Wildtrak #Thunder #SouthAfrica @FordSouthAfrica
A stripe of cloud infused with leftover sunshine. A stripe of cloud infused with leftover sunshine. The Seapoint Promenade offers endless opportunities to be mesmerized, fascinated and inspired. Without putting a foot onto the beach. When last to did you explore the promenade and beach front? There are the art installions, birds, piers, a lighthouse, people watching, boats, a tidal pool, paragliders landing, cyclists, kids playing in the parks and of course the various views of the ocean, its moods and colours ever changing. #ShareSouthAfrica #lovecapetown #chasingsunset #photomission #picoftheday #travelblogger #CapeTown #SouthAfrica #OlympusEM10 #olympusphotography
Seagull snap or Lions Head photobomb. These birds Seagull snap or Lions Head photobomb. These birds are part of the landscape along all the #CapeTown beaches. Accustomed to people, they will steal food out of your hands or off your plate. Always entertaining to watch, and so graceful in flight. There is plenty to do and see on the Seapoint Promenade while we wait for permission to go onto the beaches.

2020. A year that will never be forgotten. Battere 2020. A year that will never be forgotten. Battered, bruised, pushed to the limits. A spotlight shone on imperfections ,and failings. Strength and creativity ignited. Resilience, agility,  heartache, action. Kindness and community. Generosity and caring. Desperation and despair. Hope and determination.We are still here. Lessons have been learned. Attitudes changed, eyes opened.We will do better in 2021. Thanks especially to the best travel buddy @mylimeboots to everyone who walked the journey that was 2020 with me. For friendship, work opportunities and growth. You know who you are, but I tagged you all anyway. 😍Happy New Year South Africa.#newyear #2021 #goodbye2020 #hope #COVID19 #ShareSouthAfrica
