Welcome

🎪 A Summer Feast for the Senses

This week is overflowing with the kind of stories that make you want to grab a coffee, put your feet up, and dive in.

We’re talking about Athol Williams — the Mitchells Plain local who went from growing up under Cape Town’s bright skies to teaching in Oxford’s historic halls.

Then we’ll whisk you off to a UK safari park where giraffes might just be your breakfast companions, and reveal a life hack that could quietly add thousands to your bank balance every year.

Top it off with a handpicked lineup of August festivals, plus a magical photo from a reader who caught the Bristol Balloon Fiesta in full colour — and you’ve got a week worth remembering.
