Stopping for lunch

We were on our way to the movies this afternoon, when we decided to stop off at the Arderne Gardens in Claremont to eat our lunch (just sausage and bread - nothing elaborate!). This garden must be one of Cape Town's best-kept secrets. It's a really tranquil spot, with lovely lawns and huge old trees, as well as a few sections of pond, which are home to a variety of waterfowl. We sat on a bench just like this one (there are plenty of them all around the garden), under the shade of an enormous old pine tree, and enjoyed a bit of time out.
