weekend recap

We had one seriously great weekend. Friday evening we met at Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens for a evening picnic supper. I packed wine, peartiser (a fizzy pear juice drink), fresh bread, cheese studded with almonds and apricots, homemade peanut noodles, and guavas. It was lovely to be there so late in the day because hardly anyone was around- it really felt like we had the place to ourselves. Well, not quite to ourselves as there were a few avian friends hanging about.



We went for a hike on Saturday morning to the Tartarus Cave off Boyes Drive above St. James beach. It was incredibly foggy and pretty stinkin chilly, but there were lovely flowers out in abundance which can make even the drabbest of days feel special.



And to cap it off, yesterday we got to watch our wonderful friends Ariane and Mdu get married. The day was perfect, the venue (Groot Constantia wine farm) was stunning, the bride and groom looked smashing, and the party was incredibly fun. I might have even played the tambourine with the band at some point :)


Here's hoping this coming weekend is just as delightful!
