The iconic Ponte Tower in Berea, Joburg city centre. In 1975 it was the tallest skyscraper in Africa & quite the place to live, the inner core is open to allow light and air to the inner rooms. It then fell into decay, a centre for gangs and drugs with rubbish thrown into the core 5 storeys high. Now there is a programme of regeneration. #jacarandas #joburg #pontetower
From my hotel room in Rosebank, jacaranda season Joburg #Rosebank #johannesburg #jacarandas
Early morning in the Study courtyard, sweet smell of jasmine and the trilling sound of a crested barbet.
Our last night together here, Milly the rescue dog and me. We’ll both really miss Joburg, a vibrant beautiful cosmopolitan cultural city sadly missed by so many tourists. After lots of trials and tribulations Milly makes the trip tomorrow and I follow on Friday. France here we come!
A terrific send off from my South African book club friends - lunch included SA favourites like vetkoek, bobotie, melktart and malva pudding. Fabulous flower arrangements done by the talented @ann_leith in Irish colours in my honour. 🇮🇪🇿🇦 #flowers #flowerarrangement #greenwhiteandorange #farewelllunch
Still no sign of rain here in Joburg but beautifully overcast and cool (20C) for a change, so a lot more energy for the tedious task of packing up the house... although wasting my time sitting on the veranda at the moment. #veranda #verandalife #statue #palms #johannesburg
#TBT Looking back to a recent trip to the beautiful Western & Northern Cape to see the extraordinary sight of hundreds of miles of Spring flowering of the veld. This is the view of Clanwilliam Dam from Ramskop Nature Reserve in the Cedarberg. #Clanwilliam #Cedarberg #westerncape #springflowers #ramskop
The wonderful scent of Trachelospermum jasminoides, star jasmine, a wonderful plant with its evergreen glossy foliage & now the bonus of the flowers. You can just make out a tiny gecko 🦎 on the light bulb ready to catch the insects. #starjasmine #trachelospermumjasminoides #spring #johannesburg
Spring in Johannesburg, and the scent from flowering trees is intense; as you can see from the grass, the rains haven’t come yet as we all anxiously check the forecast. #Springtime #johannesburg #syringa #meliaazedarach
My friend @ann_leith is the most stunning cook as well as a great stylist. This is just a tiny part of the delicious desserts on offer recently - I love the ice bowl with little frozen flowers. #foodstyling #dessert #edibleflowers
More of that incredible evening light at our house in France ... heading there in a couple of weeks... #frenchlife #frenchcountryfarmhouse #lotetgaronne #aquitaine #igersagen #eveninglight
Meanwhile in France, evening light on the old tobacco barn. #eveninglight #frenchcountryfarmhouse #tombeboeuf #lotetgaronne #tobaccobarn #redflowers
