Feeling all equestrian in the heart of Joburg

Feeling all equestrian in the heart of Joburg

by Renate Engelbrecht | May 7, 2021 | DINING OUT, FEATURED POST 2, LOCAL TRAVELS

I’ve always had a love for horses. I never really had the opportunity to have my own, or to ride often enough for that matter, but it’s been a lifelong dream. Staying at the five-star Riboville Boutique Hotel & Restaurant currently owned by George...

WIN A DAD BOX It’s been a busy few months and w WIN A DAD BOX It’s been a busy few months and with my family feeling the impacts of COVID-19, I wanted an easy, yet memorable Father’s Day (seeing as Wikus was isolated for his birthday). With us being back at Level 3, I turned to the trusted safety, affordability and sheer variety of food available on @ubereats_za. All of our favourite meals are at our door in just 30 minutes via contactless delivery! I’ve also partnered with the app to give one of my followers the perfect Dad Box to the value of over R1000 which includes every Father’s must-have treats! To enter, simply: • Follow @suitcaseandchardonnay and @ubereats_za on Instagram. • Tag the person helping you to make this Father’s Day the best one ever and tell us how you are planning to spoil dad using #UberEatsGetsIt • For a bonus entry, go over to the Suitcase & Chardonnay blog and fill out the form on the competition page. (Link in bio). Good luck! Terms and conditions: Giveaway closes on 25 June at midnight. Competition is open to SA residents where the Uber Eats app is available only. Competition is not affiliated with Facebook or Instagram. T&C’s apply. Decision is final and we reserve the right to disqualify winners should entry mechanisms not be followed. Products are not redeemable for cash. #UberEatsGetsIt #Ad

When that scary thing you wish wouldn't happen to When that scary thing you wish wouldn't happen to you, happens, you need to decide: Fight or fade? Yup, COVID has come knocking. Well, actually, it didn't knock at all. It just barged in like a thief in the night. I've been in bed since Friday and today was the first day that I truly felt I had enough energy to get up. COVID makes you think, because you never know how hard it's going to hit you. The one minute you feel fine and the next minute it has you down on your knees. What I learned: - Rest. I have two toddlers and it was hard to expect my husband who had just recovered from COVID himself, to take the kids and let me rest. But I had to rest if I wanted to get better sooner. - Family is everything. My husband and kids carried me through these couple of days, and so did my parents and his parents through prayer. - It is pure grace that we got through it so easily. I know of too many people who are fighting for their lives, or who have lost their lives due to COVID. We can just thank God for keeping us safe. - On a lighter note, a birthday doesn't count as a birthday if you have COVID, so we'll have to redo @wikus.engelbrecht 's birthday once we're out of isolation. - We thought lockdown was bad. Self-isolation while being sick in bed with COVID with two toddlers who aren' t allowed to go to school is worse. - Don't be afraid to call your doctor. - Once the vaccination is available for us, I'm getting vaccinated. End of story. 👗 @milkandhoneysa 📷 @hanneritakesportraits 💄 @eve.image #covid19 #covid_19 #coronavirus #pretoria #selfisolation #staysafe
