Karoo Skies and Stars ♡

There is something breath-taking about the night skies in the Tankwa Karoo.


If star-gazing and enjoying the countryside in the most luxurious farm accomodation appeals to you then our friend's farm is the perfect place to be.  

 

 The farm has 2 huge rooftop viewing decks to take in the spectacular vistas by day or night.  These photographs are from their farm website (see details below).

 

Watch the shadows move across the mountains during golden hour, or bask in their spectacular swimming pool after the heat of the day.

 Enjoy!

Karoo Food ♡

 This has to be the MOST glamorous farmhouse kitchen for a feast:

(That is if you can distract yourself from the beautiful farm scenery on your doorstep)

When the heart of this beautiful home is an Aga, and on the other side is a fabulous turquoise Smeg fridge then you know you have the perfect setting for a magnificent meal.



Better yet, you can ask their resident cook for some beautiful locally sourced farm dishes (Karoo lamb, sumptous pies, seasonal desserts) and just enjoy this country setting.

London Summer ♡

Summer in London is so fun!  London laughs in flowers.

And we spotted the perfect pink Barbie car in London too!

There is so much to delight the senses.

The architecture is adorned with hanging flower baskets and the colours are bright.

 

The city is alive with people, brands, merchandising. 

 

Love this summer crochet clutch!

 

 How quirky and adorable is the yellow duck shop?

So many visual delights, food treats, and my favourite is just people watching.







Soho, Chinatown, Covent Garden and pretty much every street has something interesting to see.



 

We have just returned from a jam-packed trip to the UK and I'll share a series of posts of our road-trip and highlights of all the places we visited.
