What a month August was. Driving Audi R8 spyders around the South Tyrol region. An Audi experience tour that included German autobahn, the Italian Dolomites and some of the most beautiful Austrian Alps mountain passes. A trip I shall never forget, and roads I hope to return to… in a more family friendly wagon.
On July 9th 2008 we launched @WooThemes. With the benefit of youthful business naivety, the serendipity of meeting co-founders online, the scale of open source and through the power of sequence & hard graft we found our 10 year “overnight” success! Happy Birthday @WooCommerce 💌via Twitter
I 😍 that he shares my passion for photography. I 😨 that he is holding my @leica_camera. I 🤯 that this is an auto-edit film, created by the @djiglobal app! Taken with my iPhone X using the DJI Osmo Mobile 2. Video made auto-magically with the DJI Go app auto-edit feature. Taken by my talented […]
With Gutenberg being touted as the future of WordPress it’s time to give it a thorough test drive on my personal blog.

The Selati Game Reserve is a 27 000 ha private reserve we’re fortunate to regularly visit. This lush green trip was with some good friends in late March. P.S. Loved discovering a serendipitous moment shared between an elephant and a butterfly in my footage!
Last week we celebrated the life of my grandpa on the farm where he was born and died 93 years later. Seeing the farm from high above highlights the changing landscape of Nelspruit. It’s amazing to see how the farm has shaped the city’s growth. Being on the farm brought back wonderful childhood memories of […]
Today you breathed your last breath and said farewell to a world so very different to the one you entered 93 years ago. Yet you died on the farm, only meters away from the very same house you were born. You were our heroic grandfather, and great grandfather – the finest and most dignified of […]
Last weekend was spent on the river with friends, and a growing number of our offspring. I always find it hard to believe that this beautiful wild landscape is only a four hour drive from Cape Town.
I don’t know who was more keen to get a “safari car”. Max, my nearly 5 year old, or me. Max developed a very rare talent, at a very early age. He has the remarkable ability to identify a “safari car”, otherwise known as a Land Rover Defender, if it even enters his distant periphery. For Max a safari […]
