Heatwave continues ;-)


It's all for a good cause. This was a photo shoot in our brandy cellar and in the vineyards for a breast cancer awareness campaign. Lunch and dinner is still served fully dressed despite the heat wave :-)

Today we pressed our last red grapes, which are cabernet sauvignon. "All done and dusted" Sydney said, which is his favourite expression.

I learned something today. When setting in the new wine store door I couldn't close the doors completely. After hours trying to set them right it suddenly occured to me they weren't the wrong way round but simply a mirror copy of the ones I had given to a local company to manufacture some years ago. Albi Bum the genius mechanic and Landrover whizz kid quickly cut and rewelded them and now the doors are closed. What a relief after hours in Wellington's sun!

Your restuarant would be jam packed if the woman in the picture served patrons dressed exactly as she is here. Hell, I'd even make the drive down from Johannesburg one weekend just for the seafood risotto, which I hear is quite superb and worth a trip all by itself.
