Summer in Cape Town

Kids, water and summer = one afternoon of pure fun
The months of summer sunshine in Cape Town is definitely my favourite time of the year. Cape Town as a city has so much to offer but I feel that the city can really showcase its natural beauty when the suns rays are basking, lighting up the blue skys whilst capetonians frolick on the beach, head up Lions Head or enjoy a traditional braai with a boerie roll and beer in hand. There are those individuals that prefer the cold, wintery months of lighting the fire, sipping on a glass of merlot and hibernating however I feel more alive when the sun is warming my soul.

I love summer in the Cape Town because:
  • I wake up in a better mood, if the sun is shining I automatically smile and do not have the need to the press the snooze button
  • I actually consider going for a morning run in summer which is a great way to get the morning started.
  • Light, colourful clothes including dresses with pretty shoes can be worn to the office instead of pants & coats
  • I am more likely to enjoy a salad for lunch in summer & put more effort into having a colourful, veggie filled salad.
  • After work drinks whilst watching the sunset is a wonderful way to end a busy day.
  • Evening walks or runs are more likley to happen as its warmer and it stays lighter for longer.
  • The smell of braai's on the go, who can say no to a chop, boerie roll and a glass of wine or a beer.
  • Spending time outdoors refreshes ones soul and outdoor activities are a great destresser.
  • Summer dresses, accessories, sunhats and colour are all part of summer
  • Manicures and pedicures are a must
  • Happiness, people are much more happier when the sun shines
Summer is brimming on the top of a glass of champers, waiting to spill over and warm our souls for a few months and I absolutely cannot wait.

Summer is ready to pop
A life without love is like a year without summer.
