I joined a Johannesburg Heritage Foundation tour of three quirky mansions on Linksfield Ridge designed by architect Gerald Gordon.

Thorsten and I (a.k.a. the Blogitects) just got back from an epic trip up and down the East Coast of America.

Lilian Road Studios is a collection of funky artists' studios in a historic building in Fordsburg. They have Open Studio days on Dec. 10-11.

Thorsten needed a black-tie suit for a gala event at the Rand Club. We decided to go super-Jozi on the design.

Thorsten and I -- aka the Blogitects -- are leading a fun arts and architecture walking tour through Brixton on 12 November.

In my most recent Sleeping in Jozi experience, Thorsten and I spent the night at the Rand Club's luxurious Room 7.

I visited the View, a historic Victorian mansion in Parktown, with the Joburg Heritage Foundation. One more Hidden Joburg spot off the list!

On Saturday Thorsten and I went to Soweto to check out a spinning event hosted by the Soweto Street Fighters. My mind was blown.

Arthur Bales, the oldest knitting and fabric shop in Joburg, is my favorite place to buy yarn. Arthur Bales is 120 years old in August 2022.

Gail and I took a gallery-hopping tour through Rosebank with Thabo the Tourist, Joburg's charming guide for the arts.

I recently became a member of the Rand Club, the historic (formerly mens- and whites-only) club in downtown Joburg.

I attended a service at St. Nicholas of Japan, an Orthodox church in Brixton. The service was beautiful and got my mind off current events.
