South Africa - my passion.

I have two websites, http://www.magical-cape-town-vacations.com and http://www.tailor-made-south-africa-travel.com which keep me engrossed in writing.

My love of South Africa stems from my Aunt moving out there back in the '70's and the lovely postcards which arrived back in the UK.

My first visit came back at the beginning of the '80's and has created a magnetic pull each time I leave, so that it guarantees I have to visit again.

Since that first visit my parents have bought a house in Cape Town and I have taken my husband and two children there time and again.

Our home from home holiday idyll.

When we're not there (nor dreaming about South Africa) we spend a lot of our time with the children and tennis, travelling all over the country for them to play their game.
