Sunset over Soeteweide. Blanco

Cecile and Heinrich treated us to a wonderful barbeque dinner while the view was spectacular.

Today, at our place,non the eastern side of George, but also at Soeteweide it was hotter than hot, I did not look at the thermometer, but sweat was making little rivulets down my hair and face.

Cecile and Heinrich are staying on the western perimeter of George with a view towards Cape Town (400kms away) and a closer view toward the farming community of Geelhoutboom. (Yellow wood).

As we sat on the stoep, begging for a bit of cool air, we had coctails and then feasted on leg of lamb, done to perfection over the coals, baby asparagus covered in a sauce by Jamie Oliver - which was beyond words ...tomato and green salad, and of course, garlick bread - all of which I can say: to die for!

I provided the Malva pudding and ice cream - and was happy to see Heinrich come back for more, a few times. Being slim like a reed, he no doubt has the built to accommodate a few helpings.

I want so say thank you to my children for treating me to a wonderful dinner on my birthday, it is so much appreciated. And the wine was good, too!
