And then it was 2012. Wow we are already 10 days into this year. unbelievable!
As you might know, 2012 is a year of big changes and bold moves for me.
I am moving out of Cape Town and back to Malmesbury (after 8 years in the city) for a few months. In Malmes (the small town where I grew up, about an hour outside Cape Town) I will stay with my awesome Gran for a few months (she has two adjoined flats, so I will join her).
This way I will not only learn amazing skills from an amazing woman with a wealth of life lessons to teach me, but I will also be able to save so I can go travel.
The plan is to spend Summer in Europe. But more on that later, for now I am busy streamlining my life, in other words, getting rid of all the things that weigh me down and that I do not really need!
Phase one, books. I have already given my best friend 2011 in TIME magazines, so onto the books.
I can take the whole lot to Tommy’s Book Exchange on Long Street but for now, maybe there is something you would like to read?
