The “new” shopping hours
It’s taken me a while to remember that people go home here. No more of the 8 – 9 Sainsbury’s or 24 hour Tesco top up your supplies opportunities. Mostly, I leave the grocery shop to the last minute and I’d prefer not to have to trawl through web pages to find opening times, whilst the doors slowly close. If you agree, you can save this page to your “Shopping” favourites and hopefully it’ll get you to the shop on time!

Coming Home to South Africa
When I resigned from my wonderful job at the Tate Gallery in London, it was with some trepidation because I knew how good I had it, but I had been putting off coming home at each new employment opportunity and every new travel find – too hard to say no! You know what they say about when you want something badly enough – yep, the world conspired to get me here and there’s no looking back!
And it’s so good to be back. There’s a lot to learn – like you pay the bank to take your money, so that they can loan it out to another customer at a prime rate. You can’t just open a bank account with all the frills – you need a job to get the frills. It’s not like London – a train won’t necessarily get you there…
I aim to let you know about my findings and share some of the learning with you – save you a bit of time when you decide to do it!
