Thanks to the KZNFFA Peter Hayes spent several weeks in South Africa offering fly casting courses, and in his free time fishing the local waters. As part of his trip he was kind enough to get involved in several upliftment projects involving some of South Africa’s local communities. One such project revolved around the Thendela …
My mom, in all of her awesomeness, sewed Emma this beautiful quilt. This is definitely the latest family heirloom.
Since the birth of my daughter fly fishing has taken a bit of a back seat but, being who I am, that was of course definitely not sustainable. So when I was told that Peter Hayes was offering a clinic to the Aids orphans in Underberg I immediately took Friday off, packed up the family, …
After years of carrying my camera equipment in the bags it came in my wife was kind enough to get me a Lowepro Flipside 400 AW for Christmas. I’d been swearing I’d buy a bag for many years but had never gotten around to it due to the obsessive compulsive person in me. Somehow I’d …
Being Sharon and Tarryn’s first ever Mother’s Day, Nick and I decided to take them (as well as our mothers) to Tala Game Reserve for a buffet breakfast and a day in the bush. With no set time to arrive Sharon, my mom and I left the house at 7am and, after a brief coffee …

This season however I really didn’t get my fix, and instead spent more time at home …
Over the 9 month of Sharon’s pregnancy I took of photo of her every second or third day. It was a time consuming process that took a lot of patience on both of our parts. Sharon had to change every night – into the same outfit – and I seemed to continuously be lining up …
After 9 months of pregnancy and news that baby would most probably come late, we were certainly not expecting what hit us over the Easter weekend. On Saturday we made our usual pilgrimage to the squash club where I played in a social doubles tournament while Sharon watched from the stands. Once I was done …
Having missed my first scan at 38 weeks I was adamant I would not miss the final (or so we hoped) scan. Clearly somebody thought otherwise and as I neared the hospital helicopters filled the air and traffic slowed – clearly there was a major accident. Thankfully it turned out to be on the other side of the freeway …
