Yesterday I got a call from a lady at the farm, letting me know that we forgot a pillow in the cottage and that she would make a plan to send it down to Cape Town. Isn’t that sweet? Of course I couldn’t let her go through all that trouble, but I appreciated the gesture. … Continue reading
After weeks of hunting around for the perfect Winter getaway I finally found it: Elandskloof Guest Farm in Greyton. Couldn’t have asked for better. It was perfect. Our cottage turned out to be a large four bedroom abode with double volume ceilings and all the creature comforts of the olden days: shelves filled with books, … Continue reading
