It starts to change colour at 1 but optimum time to see it in all it's glory is between 3-4am. It looks pretty spectacular at the moment as it is

I was looking forward to this until I found out it's happening about 3am.

Someone needs to put CT's face onto both of them lasses

Brilliant

"Now all week, Friday was referred to as "The Day We Drive to Cape Town" and was looked upon with an element of dread. Not only did it mean that the adventure was coming to an end but it was a 400km journey on a coach through valleys and mountain passes and we'd been told it would take us all day. So how do you make the journey more exciting and enjoyable? Well.... you could make an impromptu stop at the Boplaas vineyard and wine cellar in Calitzdorp for a bit of wine-tasting. It is, after all, the port wine capital of South Africa and has been exporting it's award-winning brandy to London since the 1800's. Oh, and did I mention that this impromptu visit took place at 8.55am?! My parents woud be so proud! The shiraz and pinotage were particularly good if I may say so. Pretty views OH, and then we stopped at Barrydale for coffee around 10'ish and were encouraged to try a shot of the locally produced moonshine known as Vitblitz. Coffee, cheesecake and tequila slammers - what a morning!" Happy days I'm now going to stay up far too late re-reading this....

That was on the way to the wine region, which is why it came to mind. Vitblitz and wine-tasting before 10am on the way to Cape Town. The rest of the day was a write-off...

Martin, do you remember replying to my blog when I was in SA? It was about 8am and we'd stopped to sample the local Vitblitz?

I reckon if I was an alcoholic I'd probably have remembered it was there before I moved out 3yrs ago Actually, thinking back, there was a dodgy bottle of Baileys in the back of that cupboard too. I really hope he's thrown it away....

The bairns dad text me earlier to say he'd found a bottle of red wine in the back of a cupboard that I'd bought at a cellar door in Calitzdorp, South Africa. Nice little 8yr old shiraz that I'd forgotten about coming my way tomorrow!

Behave man. The last twice he's been on here he's called people cunts. Not tongue-in-cheek, not in fun or for the craic - just to be vile. Haven't got time for it tbh. There are plenty other places he can go and do that.

He can consider this as his pre-ban warning should he choose to consider posting in a similar fashion.

I really shouldn't bite but when was she ever a fat boiler?!

Prince Harry looking rather fit with the old beardy thing going on That's my contribution to the rugby.

No, mine is like Velma's from Scooby Doo, but not ginger

He's got your hair.

Rah, rah, rugger chums, lah-di-dah, whatevahhh.....

"Bits of it" he says, whilst sitting in his rugger jersey with the collar up

Don't get me wrong, once I got to Uni there were various things doing the rounds but don't remember anything being available/offered in school or 6th form.

I've clearly led a very sheltered life

I've never been a fan of Doctor Who but the bairn stumbled across an episode this week and now we have a series link for all of the old episodes and in anticipation of the new series starting on Saturday. Along with his Star Wars obsession, I have proof - were it ever needed, that I'm raising a geek.

Usually is for me too which is why this is so strange. Feel like the breakfast news should be on the telly.

Jealous tbh.

I'm off work this week and this was my first child-free morning. Woke up at 7am, got cross with myself I'd intended to have a lie-in, thought I'd have another hour and woke up at 1pm. Now completely disorientated

You bought him off Gumtree? Why not get a rescue kitten? And this isn't me being all worthy but there's so many animals that could go to a good home from the shelters and charities.
