Karoo Skies and Stars ♡

 

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

 

The Tankwa Karoo is big sky country.  By day the changing play of light across the landscape is absorbing.  It feels as though time stands still as shadows stretch across the vast spaces.   

 

 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.  

  

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

 Enjoy!

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.

Karoo Farm Love ♡

 We were very lucky to visit a friend's farm in the Karoo recently.

 

There is something to delight the eye everywhere, from their little shepherd's hut to the main farmhouse.

 

 I adore the Karoo aesthetic.  Rural simplicity and farmhouse style are timeless.

 

The architecture and design detail is beyond lovely.

I'm a sucker for rustic windows framing the landscape.

 

 

Their decor is so understated yet elegant and comfortable.

 

The colours they have used in their home are sublime.

 The scale is vast and the scenery is austere but breath-taking.

 

What a wonderful get-away!
