FINAL INSPECTION

Ofcourse there must be a large patch of soft green grass in the V&F (vegetable & fruitgarden) for the little monsters to do some sunbathing while the plants are growing. So obviously this was on top of the long 'to do list'. You can see Nando is inspecting thoroughly that the green carpet is well soaked. In most cases he is not particularly fond of water... but his wet feet do not seem to bother him this time!

VEGETABLE & FRUITGARDEN

Did i mention that a dream came true? nooooooo??? this blog has just recently purchased it's very own vegetable and fruitgarden to grow it's own ingredients for cooking! Just now, planting has started and little by little the world of modern farming is starting to open up to me! Those past few days the sun was smiling bright and i have too many ideas to put into practice....will tell you more about it soon! Must run off now to do some sowing!

NO HOUSE WINE

This beautiful bottle of 'vonkelwijn' was a present at a dinner party in my home! The bottle cover was designed by Studio Boot they designed a number of Fair trade 'no house wines'. The title is catching because part of the takings are used for charity in South Africa, helping homeless children who lost their parents because of HIV.

I am now held responsible :-) for the task of finding a suitable occasion to open this bottle....!
