I live in Franschhoek.I live in Franschhoek. (Yes, for a whole month now — but I’m claiming it.) And apparently, I don’t know it nearly as well as I thought.

Elephants, ancient perfume bottles, a tiny 40-seat theatre and stories hiding in places I’ve driven past a hundred times.

As summer season begins, I’m discovering my own town all over again.

Come and get curious with me.

After years of living in the desert, I’ve come home to South Africa with new eyes. The green, the mountains, the clouds, the wine, the people — even the water tastes different. Sometimes you have to leave to remember just how extraordinary home is.
