H A R V E S T
A Collaboration curated by Nix Davies of 'Let there be Light' at her studio in Side Street Studio's in Woodstock. All I can say is get down there fast and go take a look and then go take a look at all the other wonderful stuff going on in this hub of fun. It's like the Woodstock Industrial Centre used to be but BETTER, much better.

Photo 1 - took this outside the Peregrine Farmstall on Sir Lowry's Pass this past weekend. Very important to note that they also have the most incredible Pecan Tart I have ever tasted.
Photo 2 and 3 - the orchard at Lourensford on Thursday last week. I was there for the Kamersvol Geskenke Information morning and to eat delicious cake

Plant books - made from old Encyclopedia's
The books are hollowed out and then I used a 2 litre milk bottle cut to size to put the plant in.
Simple but nice I think
Not a new idea - it was big in the 70's :-)
The books are all from CAFDA and yes, they know this is what I was doing with them
Phone books and magazines can work for this too

The Groenfontein Valley
I never tire of this back road between Oudshoorn and Carlitzdorp. It wanders along following the Groenfontein Valley and then up and over steeper hills with typical Klein Karoo vegetation. The turn-off to the Swartberg Pass is off this road too.
We overnighted at The Groenfontein Retreat which was lovely but a communal long table at breakfast is just plain weird to me. They were most accommodating though when I requested a private table on the lawn. Good food (homestyle cooking), an incredible location and slightly odd safari style decor in an old Victorian House all add to a rather charming place with extremely friendly and hands-on hosts. In a good way... except at breakfast but then I'm not a morning person.
The last little bit of road before entering Carlitzdorp

Oudshoorn
has very over-priced junk shops - they are all stuffed to the rafters with interesting things that cost way to much. But we had a lovely lunch and the teacups and flowers were amazing. And I took photos of a very cool tin and pots.
