The guilty party

One of the joys of spring in Cape Town is the wonderful spring flowers. One of the perils of sprint in Cape Town is the wonderful spring flowers. We have over 9000 species of flowering plants in Cape Town, and the wonderful brightly coloured flowers are seen all over Cape Town in spring.

But these flowers cause an extremely high pollen count, which of course is not good for hay-fever suffers like myself. This spring, it was so bad that it put me into bed for two entire days (even missing a friend’s birthday party). I am finally over the worst of it, and I really hope that is it for this year!

    That’s why I came to Entebbe for the past two weeks… to escape the pollen. Will be dosing myself with muto before getting back to not get struck down immediately

      Good luck, it hammered me this time. It took tons of muto to eventually make me right :-(

    Beauty has its charms, but not for everyone. Too bad about your allergies! Sounds like it was serious. Have a happy week-end…enjoy life!

      It still looks very pretty though, and you can’t have everything. So despite allergies, I still love the season.
