Another day in paradise

Something funny doesn't happen everyday for me to write about. Observing the little details and events on the farm sitting on the stoep (traditional veranda) and watching the peculiar behavior of our peacock trying to charm the alpacas was the entertainment of a lazy Saturday morning. This is a wonderful time of the year, right after harvest the swimming pool is sparkling blue and inviting and one can enjoy a hearty breakfast on the stoep watching animals.

Life is bearable -- it is those moments I realize why so many guests come to see and feel South Africa. I felt like a tourist myself today having a sundowner with Vanessa's Vasecco. Cheers to all readers of my silly blog and friends. I wish you could all share this moment.

The harvest festival is on Saturday and Sunday this week. We did a whole day clean up work and finished plastering the new door to the winestore. A few barrels for decoration and generous amounts of whitewash and all looks much brighter again.
