Remembering Alida Johanna Van Blommestein | A Celebration of Life

Physical comedy: still on point after 80. Despair: rising with forgotten faces. Farewell: deep and sore. Alida Johanna van Blommestein was a woman of strength, quirks, excess mother-love, and a strange, long-lasting fling with Spice Girl platforms. Quad-bike accidents after sixty, ice cube dining, taxi extravagance, and an unyielding passion for berry farm cheesecakes. Pietersburg 1938-10-05 — Parys 2022-06-06. Over and out. Always remembered, always loved, miss you daily, Mom.

Travel | Thank You, Lucas

In an unexpected twist of events in Swakopmund, Breakdown-turned-brunch at a gem of a coffee shop brought out the cheesecake lover in my partner, while I found solace in a fancy French breakfast. Navigating a pay-to-pee nightmare led to an impromptu photoshoot with friendly staff. Moral of the story? Bathroom troubles can sprout creativity, and always carry coins for public restrooms!
