Its all happening @ Rock Bottom in umzumbe this Easter weekend.

Every now and again you find a restaurant filled with passion for good food, a menu of fusion-licious dishes and a sense of humor wrapped around everything. The Burlesque Café in Ramsgate has an approach to food that is possibly (and often deliberately) circumnavigated by mainstream eateries. I’m talking about the kind of décor and menu that brings a smile to your face while simultaneously making you wonder if it’s supposed to be serious d’arte and you’re perhaps just not “getting it”.

The new owners of Pumphouse Bar and Restaurant invite all the South Coast locals to come and enjoy the newly renovated venue. Nelius and Fibi strive to create a casual relaxed ambiance where people can enjoy good food or just pop in for a drink – be it a coffee or a cold one.

Barbie will be running an Improvisation workshop on Saturday the 25th February at Riverbend Conference Center at the Croc Farm. The workshop will run from 9am – 1.00 p.m.

Click here for more information about the event listed on our diary. The workshop is not just for actors or performers – it doesn’t matter if you don't have any drama experience (in fact if you're not a performer you'll probably have the edge!) This course is simply for those from any field or career who are interested in body language, laughter, communication and losing the fear of being wrong.

Barbie recently attended a week-long Improvisation workshop in London with world renowned Keith Johnstone.

Scottburgh’s Main Beach served up some extremely tricky conditions on the final day (27 November) of this year’s ninth annual Jeep Apparel South Coast Surf Carnival, in stark contrast to the near perfect surf enjoyed by the longboarding, stand up paddlesurfing (SUP), waveski surfing and kitesurfing competitors yesterday. Nevertheless, Josh Schmeltzer (Durban) Brandon Ribbink (Durban) and Nikki Trickett (Durban) deservedly claimed titles in the Men’s Open Longboard, Men’s SUP and Ladies Longboard divisions.

The Bistro in Ramsgate has recently been up to some culinary creativity with Rhubarb. So together, we decided that it would be a great idea to chat a bit about this odd, yet fondly rememberd plant.

The Addison family, who live in Widenham on the KZN South Coast and operate the Blue Wilderness Dive Expedition company out of Rocky Bay, have just returned from a trip to the USA where they were privileged enough to appear on NBC's the "Today Show". Their appearance on America's fourth-longest running television programme was thanks to the fact that the everyday lives of the Addison's, parents Mark and Gail and daughter Ella, are closely connected to one of nature's most controversial animals, the shark.
