An ode to my Valentine



This post is rather delayed, but since it’s Valentine’s Day I thought it the perfect time to share our anniversary celebrations and spread a little love…

The clebrations were secret and the only details hubby shared was that I needed to be comfortable, and to not wear the highest heels, and to be ready early morning. It was school holidays and the boys were rather bummed at being left behind, feeling a bit excluded from our plans.

To my great delight, he had planned a scenic helicopter trip, followed by a super relaxing massage at the Amani Spa at the Radisson, finished off with lunch at my favourite restaurant Tobago’s.

The helicopter trip was an item on my bucket list, one which we both just didn’t have the time to get to, so I was really impressed he chose this to celebrate our 18 years of marriage. It was spectacular, a bit windy of course, but nonetheless absolutely breathtaking. I know I always say this, but I love my city, the vibes, the sights and the culture.

It’s such a special thing to be able to celebrate 18 years of marriage, its become so common to hear of divorce that it makes me thankful everyday for what we share. It comes with challenges definitely, but that’s what its about, dealing with misunderstandings and knowing that your desire to be together outweighs all the other little things which can be classified as unimportant noise.



And now for some necessary corny sentiments (it is Valentine’s Day afterall!)

For you, my Valentine:

“Thank You Mr Right, for being my best friend & confidant,
My sounding board, companion and co-driver along this path of life,
For being a part of the tumultuous journey of raising three young men,
For keeping me sane in times of insanity,
For being my safety net when I fall down,
And my antidote for the poisons in my life,
It has been an adventure of note, and I pray that there will be many more adventures to come.
Forever forward and upward, together.”

Not forgetting the photos of this most enjoyable day!

Valentine's Day at the Galileo

I usually regard Valentines Day as a day to celebrate something special...

♥ LOVE♥

Whether its romantic love or any other version it's always special. Your loved ones can always cheer you up when you down, know when you're worried or scared and will always be there for you.

♥LOVE♥

I am blessed to have a special someone who makes me laugh, shares my joys and lows and above all, always makes me feel loved. I wish that everyone will someday find that same sharing of souls :-). Most years we do a low key Valentines, and this year we decided to spend the evening at the Galileo Cinema at Kirstenbosch. We watched a classic romantic movie "Love Actually" which I can watch a million times!



It was a lovely cool evening, thankfully the rain had stopped and the clouds disappeared, resulting in a pleasant evening. The movie was enjoyable, the ambience was relaxing and the vendors spot on! All in all, we had a great evening. I would recommend the outdoor cinema experience to anyone who hasn't tried it yet.


Since it was a cool chilly evening, I donned a long knit top and military leather jacket with my coloured
denims.








I was wearing:

Guess Knit Top
Country Road Denims
Next UK Leather Jacket
Scarf from Indian Trade Fair
Woolworths Wedges
Turquoise Earring by Lovisa

Ciao for now,
RuBe xoxo
