Our Love Story

Our love story started with one opening sentence from Justin in April 2024 “what was the most exciting thing you have done this year” to which Jane replied “snorkeling in Zanzibar”. Little did she know the most exciting times were yet to come. The adventure started in a little café in the V&A Waterfront, VoVo Telo, where the connection sparked. From Signal Hill to Lions Head, Bali and Table Mountain, the adventures continued, with the best still yet come. Not only did the pot and the lid bond over their joy of cooking and eating good food, but also their likeminded thinking and surprising rare link of both being Congregationalists. Our story has just started, so let the adventure continue, with the best and most exciting times still yet to come.
