My wonderful friend Sharon and I decided we needed a girls lunch, and that carbs and cocktails were the way forward! I really, really wish she lived closer so that this was a regular occurance, but at least we get to catch up annually! We ended up in a place called Papachinos which is a…

Harbour Rock, Hermanus
We had a bit of a lazy morning after Catharina De Bliquy’s private exhibition the night before. It had been a wonderful night (as you may have read here) but it was a late one and quite a drive home! We did decide a drive was in order though, and also somewhere new to explore….
Vergelegen, Somerset West
Tannie and I had a lovely girls’ afternoon today at the stunning vineyard, Vergelegen. Well, it’s not just a vineyard. It’s so much more! The estate is over 300yrs old and boasts the most beautiful grounds I think I have seen so far. (Grounds, not lake! That’s still the Stark Conde one!) It was always going…
Catharina de Bliquy – Artist, Cape Town
I don’t even know where to start this one, but I know it’s going to be long. Why? Because I am in complete awe of this exceptionally talented artist. Her work is just beyond beautiful, as is her heart. She is simply divine. Let me explain… About 13 years ago, I was introduced to Ms….
Spice Route, Paarl
New day and a new set of eating and drinking to be done! Today’s first stop was the Spice Route. Set in the Paarl mountains. It was a bit of a mission to get to as they are digging up the one road that takes you there, but it was entirely worth it! Again, the…
La Motte, Franschhoek
We backtracked a little in order to have a look around a beautiful vineyard called La Motte. We had originally been heading there for breakfast, but apparently that’s only a weekend thing.
Sark-Condé, Stellenbosch
Next on our little wine tour was Sark-Condé, and was it ever worth the drive off the beaten path! We arrived sadly too late to do an actual wine tasting, but the lovely lady who was running the place invited us in for a glass of wine on the house, so we hadn’t driven all…
Roca, Dieu Donné Wine Estate, Franschhoek
After a lovely breakfast at Cafe Franschhoek and a slow amble around the town to take a multitude of photos of the pretty scenery, we headed off for a little drive along the residential streets behind the main road. It is much quieter and the houses are gorgeous! I was too busy looking everywhere to…
Cafe Franschhoek (Name gives away the location!)
We arrived in Cape Town a lot more awake and alert than we had expected, which is a very good thing as Tannie bought us home to drop our cases and then straight out the front door again! We headed along the beautiful drive to Franschhooek. Just for a little background, it’s one of the…
Cape Town Trip!!
As you may know, or have worked out already, my best friend and I decided to nip down to Cape Town for a few days. It was so much fun. I just wanted to share a couple of photos taken from the plane on the way there. I managed to sleep for the first hour…
