Rainy Day in CT

It's raining today. Not much, just a bit damp. National BBQ day here and a public holiday!! Just had toast and coffee for breakfast.

Table Mountain

I'm enjoying the warm sun and ice cold sea with the classic view of Table Mountain from Bloubergstrand. Soaking it all in.

Boland is Best

Another fantastic bright sunny day in the Boland, Cape Province.

Bains Kloof

http://ping.fm/p/qSHCs - On the way to Tulbag, on the top of the mountain pass where the first toll house used to stand is now a little shop. Touristy but still nice.

Tulbag Cape Dutch

Bains Kloof Road

http://ping.fm/p/3Cnv8 - Drove to Tulbag yesterday. A lovely little town in the mountains. Spectacular views, warm friendly people, winding mountain passes.

Juno Wines Art

The artwork here at www.junowines.com is fantastic. Coffee is great too! Vibrant, fantastic, bright, lively...  if you live in the Cape or are visiting there, this is a MUST place to visit.

Try their platter of cheese with home made jams and fresh breads!  Absolutely fantastic.

I had their marmalade.  Nice and chunky square pieces.  Johan Du Toit, if you're reading this, you need to sell this chunky marmalade that your kitchen staff are making, and I would buy it all!!!

Jono Maidens

Sitting in the sun in Paarl at Cafe Juno. Fantastic artwort. Google it. Superb!

GO and visit!!!  Now!

Early Mornings

It's the small things that are amazing. The sound of the guinea fowl this morning and yellow lupins and white arum lillies growing wild.

Heathrow Terminal 5

Sitting at the very impressive Heathrow Terminal 5. The scale of it is absolutely amazing! Gates open in 1 hour.

Beautiful evening! Just finished listening to Peter Drucker audiobook called Managing Oneself. Good but not brill!
