Hiya!

So I suppose an introduction is in order! Hi, my name is Inarie and I love all kinds of creative things, so I'm going to be blogging about all of them! Cooking, photography, reading - you'll find bits and bops of all kinds of things here!

Sharing my life with me is Daryll, my live-in-boyfriend and our 3 furry (Lulu, Ninja and Velcro and =/- 250 slimy kids (There's too many of them so they're not going to get names).

Here's Lulu being all Curious George - she's a mix between a Australian Cattle dog and a long-legged Jack Russell, quite an awesome mix!
She is one part love and 3 parts excitement mixed together in a body far too small to house such a lot of energy.





Here's a pic of Ninja and Velcro when they were still babies - they've grown quite a lot since then. Ninja (on the right) is a big bully of a cat, playing quite rough with Lulu. Velcro (on the left) is our little lady that likes quiet corners to lounge in. She's definitely still of the "Cats are Royalty" school of thinking as you do not approach her for petting, she comes to you when she wants it!




A bit more about myself ? Well, I'm a Java Programmer that moved into the field of Business Analysis. I also keep myself busy with freelance web design and development otherwise my brain might rot from pure boredom! When I have the time, I love taking photos - I recently became the proud owner of a Nikon D300 dSLR and I'm in the process of upskilling myself from a mediocre photographer into an awesome one. My long term goal is to move into Freelance Photography focussing on Wedding Photography as I live in the perfect place to exercise such a skill - smack bang in the middle of South Africa's winelands!
Nice to meet you!
