• Waking up to pouring, violent rain — so hard that it seems impossible to get out of bed (but only if this happens on a weekend or other holiday day, so that getting out of bed isn’t immediately necessary!).
  • Summer afternoon thunderstorms in Durban, when the whole world turns dark.
  • Violent windstorms in Cape Town that whip up just as you’re about to curl up in bed with a book, with sleep in the not-too-distant future.
  • Balmy spring days: sunshine, blue skies, not too hot, slight breeze (scented with jasmine, if you want to get fussy!).
  • Early-morning stillness (usually before 6.30am), when the whole world feels as if it’s still sleeping and you could quite easily be one of the only people awake in such freshness …

    These are a few of my favourite things.
