The biker and the baker

The dunes at Atlantis provide an expansive and varied playground for sand riders. Of particular value, the area provides sections that are sufficiently mild for those relatively new to sand riding and sections that are adequately challenging for the experienced sand rider. Doug organised a ride with the hope that there would be enough interest in an outing to the Atlantis dunes to bring together both skilled and not-so-skilled sand riders, with the former providing example, insight and support and the latter being given the opportunity to enjoy a new experience. Permits are required to access the dunes and if you make use of the area, I would encourage you to only enter with valid permits as this access is a real privaledge - and risking it is shortsighted.  I have heard via the grapevine that for a long time now, there may be pressure from nature conservation to close off this facility for motorised use.  I hope that if we all continue to supprt the current permit system, hopefull

More than a month had passed since our baby turned 2.  I've been meaning to write and share the experience since then but time just ran away with me, like always...

Cupcakes with White Chocolate Ganache decorated in brights and pretties :) Happy birthday to you, dear Micah Yum Yum Yum It's my party! Pressies! Thank you Jedo :) Getting it out the box!?!?!
