About Ally

Before moving to Cape Town from Joberg, my childhood memories are of eating Kumquats from the tree just outside my bedroom window (and gettig many a sore tummy), and making duvet homes in the backyard.

Leaving behind all I loved at 8, including my grandparents, was hard but I soon grew to love seeing the mountain from our porch in Cape Town, and having the independence of having everything within walking distance. My favourite subject at high school was fibre art (weaving, batik etc.) but after investigating a career in that, I decided to keep it as a passion. I decided instead to combine peope and business, hence my current career in Human Resources. My next goal is to open up my own career guidance practice as it lifts my soul when I am able to help guide people. One of the happiest days of my life was when I married the love of my life, the G Man, in 2000. We enjoy so much together. Some of my favourite things to do are

• eating whether it is in a fine restaurant, trying out a new recipe, or an impromptu picnic.

• travelling and collecting memories for my printers tray

• wandering around craft markets and seeing how creative people can be

• making my own cards and cross stitches

• reading classic literature.

• And last, but not least, keeping up to date with all my family and loved ones
