As you may have noticed, there’s been no activity on Mother City Living for some time now. Of course, I should probably have mentioned the fact that I was going on a 3-4 month trip overseas before I upped and vanished, but such was the excitement of the venture that I clean forgot.
And then, naturally, the longer I left it the sillier it seemed to announce that I wasn’t in the Mother City and wouldn’t, therefore, be able to write about the kind of things that interest me when I am here. So, I said nothing. Instead, I travelled and wrote about that experience somewhere else.
But, my overseas travels are now over, and I can say with absolute and ecstatic honesty that nowhere I have been is quite as beautiful as our own glorious Cape Town. I am spectactularly fired up to get back to doing things Capetonian, visiting my old haunts (and finding new ones), discovering new sources of things organic, and checking out what’s on in the Mother City.
That should keep me busy enough to stop me going anywhere outside the country again (and horribly neglecting MCL) for quite some time.
Please bear with me as I bring MCL back up to speed, dealing with quite a few glitches that appear to have popped up willfully in my absence (photos disappearing and an inability to save any changes made to my ‘Events Calendar’ being just two of many rebellious signs of complete and utter disobedience on my blog’s behalf).
Let the summer begin!

Hey Pia, welcome back! Had MCL in my feed reader all this time and was wondering just the other day when you’d be back. Hope you had a fantastic time. Looking forward to reading MCL again – you’ve got a lot of catching up to do.
Thanks, Glen – for holding out so long! I had an amazing adventure, and saw some very beautiful things, but there’s no place like home, as they say – especially when that home is sunny sunny Cape Town – and I am ridiculously happy to be back. There shall be a veritable flurry of activity on MCL, if my current levels of enthusiasm are anything to go by!
Welcome back Pia!
Have you tried Sage? Great organic vegetarian cafe on Hatfield Street (from de Waal drive turn right just after the 24 hour Woolworths/Engen). Fantastic colours, preparation and great taste and their raw juices are quite special.
Thanks! I think I’ve been there, though not to eat… and has it always been called Sage? The place I went to matches the location, but I feel sure it had another name, though I can’t recall it right now. It was a pick-up point for the Ethical Coop’s organic deliveries, so I visited a few times to pick up my order, but never had time to stick around. Sounds lovely, though, so I will most definitely go and give it a better look (and taste some of those juices, mmmm…)!
So glad to see you back… Sage used to be called Vanilla and is still the Ethical Co-op’s pickup spot. It’s defiantly worth a longer visit when you have some time.
