apple and pear

and vineyards. Full

A warm hallo from a sunny seriously cool South Africa!
Every sunray bravely tries to announce the approaching Spring but the wintercoat mothballs might have to wait for a while. At
least all the Wine, food and Arts festivals are hot enough to keep up the Spirits.
Some of the comments to the proposed R2-billion development in "Zumaville" might also lift your spirits. There is a lot of Mirth
out there! Sowetan Live comments
Southern Sun spoilt Nosy Rosy rotten for the rugby semi-final. It
was like the real chevy ads of yonder times: Braaivleis, rugby, sunny skies and ...only the food was world class, the suite
fabulous and the pub filled with interesting people in party mood - even the Stormers' supporters :/

Hello from Charles.
This month’s newsletter is quite
a mixed bag and I kick off not from
the West Coast, but from Tulbagh
where we slipped
off for a quick two day mid-winter
break. Archbishop Tutu once said
“we South Africans
continue to amaze, and most amazing
of all we amaze ourselves”, so in
spite of all sorts of economic
pressures,
dysfunctional local governments etc
etc, we manage still to come up
with so many
instances of service and
product excellence. Read
the full story..
My Easy Curry in a
Hurry.
Brrrrrr, it is cold
here in Cape Town and all day long I
was dreaming of holding a bowl of
warm spicy food in
my hands. Well, in between
homework and driving and admin,
I managed to cook this scrumptious
Citrussy Chicken
Curry and it was just what the
doctor ordered. See this recipe and
three more..

Jolly good show for local talent in
My Casa
The production of My Casa at this year’s Kalfiefees is a
celebration of local talent in action. Not only is it the only
original show at the arts festival – its opening night will be
at 18:00 on August 10 at the De Wet Hall in Onrus – it
combines an abundance of talent into an exclusively local
production.
While much of the material has been written by the three
performers, they also incorporate the words of other Overberg
writers. Old masters such as Jan Rabie and Uys Krige feature, as
do contemporary poets like Michael Cope, Jean-Jacques de
Chaval and Jasper van Zyl. ..More
