I would describe myself as fun loving and adventurous. I love nature and the outdoors. I would love to share these aspects with you. Groot Constantia farm is a great spot to unwind. The Grootboskloof River Walk is 200m from my gate. I love to run/walk on Muizenberg beach and watch the sunrise. St James tidal pool is wonderful. I am a grandmother of 3 and a mother of 2 daughters. I love holidaying in Hermanus and in the Eastern Cape, UK and USA.
