Sunday afternoon in search of Spring..!

I'm back in England and ohh its so much cooler here..(even for April!) Whilst Mummy was preparing our Sunday roast, the rest of us went in search of spring..

 In a field,

Or over a fence..

Up would we find it up a tree..? we really had a hard search.

He's not my brother I swear..

I shouldn't have to be wearing this many layers for April!

For some reason Ant kept running away..

God knows why...

Personally, I think I do a frickin' awesome flying frog impression..

 I got a tad over excited and ended up falling down a ditch covered in leaves, obviously my brother HAD to catch it on camera..

I may have had a sulk..

Needing a moment to myself.

Moving on, we discovered an ancient tree on its side, like a bunch of kids we jumped up onto it

well, Ant did..

We were able to see the whole underneath area of the tree and the roots which held it down..if you walk far enough you'll find a few of these around the Forest!

This was something I didn't expect to find, even though Daddy DID have a map..

YES! First hint of Spring tryinnggg to show its face, these wild daffodils were gorgeous.

A quick pit stop at the pub, (mine & Ant's main intensive..)

It was then time to walk back to the car..
Don't ask what he's doing, why are family always so embarrassing?!

Back off home, I insisted on driving home, in apprehension of mummy's Sunday roast! 

Table Mountain

Table Mountain, it's one of the defining features of Cape Town. It had been 13 years since I last went up, the sun was out, I had to head to the top!

On my penultimate day in Cape town we decided it would be a good idea to head up..from the top you are able to see the where the Atlantic meets the Indian ocean and the city and surrounding towns that wrap around below.

The weather was perfect, and the wind was keeping itself scarce, we battered through the crowds and made our way upwards in the cable car..

From the top it was like a blue mirage, the sea and sky melted into one and we were surrounded by a vivid blue blanket.

Depending on where you stood and viewed out it was possible to see the various different areas of Cape town and the different bays.. we spent some time pointing out where all different family & friends lived below us.

A few sparrows were jumping around, scrounging for the odd crumb..

Look at that sky.

The mountain gets it name as its well, like a table! Very easy to walk around as its very flat on top..

Some of the plants that grow up here don't flourish anywhere else in the world, don't ask me which ones!

And if you keep going you'll hit Antarctica..

 Sitting there this is how I'd imagine a Greek god would sit, now all I need is my trident!

I did a few Intagrams, naturally!

After some time we thought it best if we headed back towards the cable car, the sun was beating down on us and thought a dip in the pool back home was calling..

There are some stunning views from the inside of the cable car on the way down..

Back down to earth again, looking back up from where we'd been..!

Table Mountain is a MUST if you've not been to Cape Town, the views are breathtaking and it has recently been voted one of the 7 wonders of the world. Make sure you go on a day with good weather for the best results from the top. Last time I was in SA it was closed due to fog. Visit here : Cable car website

I very much enjoyed soaking myself in the pool back home, very much needed after a day in the South African sun!
