We spent another day gallivanting, yes time visiting Spice Route and tasting the amazing chocolates at De Villiers Chocolate. Highly recommended!

A new year starts!

We offered to make dinner for the family, a lovely Spaghetti Bolognaise as Marinus learnt to do in Italy. The only problem is, we couldn’t find a pot big enough…

Not to be put down, we decided to make it in the swart pot on the fire. I think it even added a smokey taste! The salad was also a big hit.

For dessert we had donuts, with Dutch sprinkles! The kids(young and old) loved it!

We visited the San heritage village and learnt some interesting things. I even saw a guy making fire with a couple of sticks!

Be kind. Stay safe.

We got the table cloth on the mountain, but at least we could sample some local breakfast at Arnold’s and an excellent coffee at Truth Coffee

Enjoying the Franschhoek Wine Tram with the family

Christmas in Africa – After church, we had a lovely family lunch (Braai) with my aunt, uncle and cousin. It was lovely to see some family and for Marinus to meet them.

We also received some Merry Christmas messages from the keepers of our pets back in the Netherlands.

Be kind. Stay Safe.

Merry Christmas

We wanted to take a picture in the beautiful tree to make a summer Christmas card. We asked a friendly stranger in the park to take a picture for us and only afterwards we noticed her grandchild peeking out through the tree!

We did take a few fun Christmas pictures though!
