You are about to discover a slide splitting yet informative tale of South Africa, written by a Scotsman living here!
This true story, penned by a Scottish "Pommie" resident in Cape Town (me), will have you quietly giggling to yourself as I lay bare South African living as seen through the eyes of an outsider.
You'll gain a unique perspective of the lighter side of a country that I had never planned to live in, and I definitely didn't plan to write this unexpected series of stories. It just goes to show that you have to deal with whatever life throws at you.
It's a country that continues to offer a unique outdoor lifestyle to those who were born here in this stunning place, or have chosen to adopt it as home, as I have. It's certainly brought out the best of me in my time here...
