Surviving Winter 101

As we press “publish” on this post, Jo’burg is gripped in a freeeeeeezing cold day – the first cold front in a few weeks.

Secret Sunrise Jozi | Volume 8

So I really wanted to get this post out last week, but it just didn’t seem to happen 🙁 I hope though, that it will still inspire all you Jozi inhabitants to think outside the box and try something different this Thursday morning.
