Now, with that one out of the way - that grinning blue one, on the right; he definitely wins the Creepy-Zombie Delux with Extra Chocolate Sauce badge. Yoh man, that is one eerie (I'm not going to sleep tonight) kinda grin!

The walk started at Thibault Square and hobbled along down St George's Mall to the Company's Gardens - causing somewhat confusion and consternation among the unsuspecting audience. It was, as I'm sure you can imagine, amusing to watch unfold. :)
I'll be sharing a few more photos in the next few posts, but click here if you'd like to see the complete album on our Facebook page.

If you visit Cape Town, and if the weather's right, you'll see a similar blanket of cloud covering the mountain. The weird and enchanting thing about the clouds is that they continuously descend from the mountain towards the earth but never seem to reach it. They billow over, almost like you'd imagine a witch's cauldron would. It's quite enchanting.

I don't normally walk up to strangers and ask to take their photo - which is silly I guess - but this time the friend I was with managed to convince me that they, in fact, wouldn't bite my head off.
And, well, much to my surprise, they were fairly happy to have me take the photo. :)

It's a nice place to be. I kinda envy those who work in town and are able to take a stroll though this area at lunch times.


I'm used to picnic food being packed into disposable plastic containers, and the food itself being nothing more special than what I could buy at the local Pick 'n Pay. Warwick's was quite different - the food in our picnic baskets was packed in these beautiful glass jars and was prepared and presented to be visually appealing, and was super-fresh and extra-tastey. :)
What I thought was a neat idea was that the beetroot salad on the right was layered in such a way that only when it was tipped out did the beetroot juice mix with the rest of the salad. The sliced beef was pretty much the most tender beef I'd had in a really long time, and the Parma ham with cheese and marmalade was the perfect compliment.
Even though I'm on a low-carb diet, and even though I don't normally enjoy the taste of olives, I couldn't resist the soft freshly-baked bread, and was somewhat surprised that I really enjoyed the olive tapenade!

Imagine sitting at a secluded shady table with friends, enjoying Warwick's award-winning wines while delving into a picnic basket that I can pretty much guarantee you won't regret having ordered.
