Will I ever get caught up with everything?! I’ve just drawn April\u2019s Review and Win<\/a> contest winner<\/strong>\u2026 Taking the bonus entries for ‘first’ reviews into account, this month\u2019s lucky winner is Rebecca P, with her review of my ever-popular AquaAmi Sea Turtle pattern<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\"sea<\/p>\n

I love this pattern, it is easy to follow and allows the crocheter to create a beautiful turtle. It is also the cutest and most realistic turtle I have been able to find.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Congratulations, Rebecca, I\u2019ll email you to find out which pattern you\u2019d like as your prize! <\/p>\n

While I’m here, I thought I’d share a couple more Cape Town photos with you. Remember the ugly round tower block<\/a> I’m living in at the moment? It was only when we visited Signal Hill and looked across the city towards Table Mountain that we fully appreciated what an eyesore the 3 towers really are: here’s a pic of them rising above the city and spoiling the view of the mountain:<\/p>\n

\"cape<\/p>\n

We’re staying in the middle one. At least it won’t be for too long, and we have the spectacular views to enjoy while we’re up here \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

And one more point of interest: the currency (South African Rands, ZAR) has pictures of the Big 5 animals on it – isn’t that cool?! (Apart from the hunting connotations, but I’ll choose to ignore that.) It’s much easier to remember that R10 is a rhino instead of some random historical figure I’ve never heard of, like on most banknotes \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"south<\/p>\n

FYI, the banknote animals are:
\nR10 Rhinoceros
\nR20 Elephant
\nR50 Lion
\nR100 Cape Buffalo
\nR200 Leopard<\/p>\n

Just don’t ask me why they are in that order – I have no idea!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
