Welcome to "Nat's Nook" . . .
my little hole in the wall.

Hi, my name is Natalie (Nat, Half-Pint or Nat-urally to my friends).

I'm 29 years old, divorced and living in Cape Town, South Africa
with the light of my life, my four year old daughter, Aemy.

When I'm not working or spending time with Aemy, I enjoy
riding my bike which I finally bought on 15 July 1999 (Suzuki GSF400 "Bandit" -
there is a picture further down on the page), or being taken for rides on other people's bikes.
I've been beyond 260km's per hour on the back of a friend's CBR750 Hurrican at the
beginning of this year, and another friend took me all the way through the gearbox from 1st
into 6th gear during a wheelie on his CBR900RR Fireblade, which topped out at over 200km's
per hour - on one wheel - what a rush!!  I also enjoy horse-riding, going for walks
on the mountain or the beach (general outdoorsy-type stuff), dancing 
(I'm not that good at it, but I'm learning and  having loads of fun).
I recently started painting ceramic dragons in 1998 and discovered that I'm not too bad at it -
now I'm hooked and have started a "breeding program".  Aemy likes her friends the Faeries,
so I've painted a whole herd of ceramic Faeries for her too.  I really enjoy listening to music,
and I've started collecting MP3 files, which I play on my PC at home.

I've put some photo's of Aemy and myself lower down on this page, so feel free
to have a peek (if you have a strong constitution *grin*).

If you'd like to e-mail me, my addy is nat-urally@yahoo.com - drop me a line some time.


I've put some of my favourite URL links in here -
some are pages that you can send to friends (hugs and kisses or messages of encouragement),
and some are funny or I just happened to take a fancy to them - ENJOY!!!

If there are any URL's that you think I'd like, please feel free to send me the details.

This pic and the next were taken in November '99

Here's a pic of me on my bike "Babe" - she's a 1991 Suzuki GSF400 "Bandit"
Aemy loves going for rides with me, but I usually limit it to taking her to crèche.

I owe my buddy Angie (Angelo the Italian Stallion) big-time for all the scanning!!!

Very special thanks to my buddy Kev, in the land of Auz,
for making me the great banner at the top of this page.  I dig ya stacks Fugly!!!
Kev and his wife Mandy are due to become parents for the second
time soon - I'm holding thumbs for you all.

Here's wishing you loads of the good stuff - whatever that happens to be for you!!!
1999 was a good year - let's hope the New Millenium lives up to or betters it.
Make every moment of 2000 count for something!

To all my fellow "Good Men" and biker friends out there - happy and safe riding!!!
Thanks for all the great times and the laughs  - see you at the next Rally!!!

Work like you don't need the money,
Love like you've never been hurt,
Dance like nobody's watching!
