Allée Bleue Sunday Jam [Video]

We joined De-Wet Nagel from My Darkest Diary - along with his new singer, Sheena Banks - at Allée Bleue Wine Estate on Sunday for a bit of a jam. It was a relaxed atmosphere; great wine and great food. Perfect for a Sunday brunch with family or friends, with unobtrusive acoustic music as ambience. I made this short video using iMovie for iPad, so it's not amazing - but I'll get there.

La La La Love Rush!

Saturday at the MFM Love Rush went down a treat. Apart from some concern as to whether the weather would turn greyscale and moist, the event was enjoyed by all who attended.

A big thank you to the sponsors and all involved who helped plan the Love Rush; Clickatell, MFM, Cow Africa, Zorgvliet Estate and all the local Stellenbosch businesses who loaned out their venues to make way for the 14+ love-crazed couples who took part in the race. Below are some snaps I took of the picnic event at the finish line with LA.VI and Mister & Misread.
