Hilda-Alet Malan – Cucumber farmer and accomplished artist

By

One of the accomplished women in Patensie - Hilda-Alet Malan who is a cucumber farmer and accomplished artist. We were privileged to visit Hilda and her sister on their cucumber farm and visit Hilda's incredible light filled studio. The number of talented women in the area is really heart warming. - Taken by the Editor whilst wandering aimlessly about pretending to be in the know. … [Read more...] about Hilda-Alet Malan – Cucumber farmer and accomplished artist

Snoek Samoosa – Have you ever tried one?

By

Snoek Samoosa. Have you ever tried one? If not then pop along to the Ripple Hill Hotel in Patensie to educate your palate somewhat. Two thumbs up from MyPE. Followed by mussels and a shared seafood platter - we were replete and charged for our journey back to Gonjah Chalet deep in the bush with no cellphone reception and no electricity. #patensie #ripplehill #snoek #samoosas #mype #alanstraton #baviaanskloof - Taken by the Editor whilst wandering aimlessly about pretending to be in the know. … [Read more...] about Snoek Samoosa – Have you ever tried one?

My favourite spot to and from the Baviaans Kloof

By

And we are stopping at my favourite spot to and from the Baviaans Kloof - Tolbos Bistro - for a quick bite. Tolbos is an institution that has stayed with the times for the last 30 years. Carin and Hetsie Scheepers are consummate hosts and most accommodating. #tolbos #hankey #patensie #kouga #gamtoos #lunch - Taken by the Editor whilst wandering aimlessly about pretending to be in the know. … [Read more...] about My favourite spot to and from the Baviaans Kloof

This is where your strawberries come from

By

This is where your strawberries come from. On a visit to the Hankey Patensie Valley we stopped in at Mooihoek Boerdery for a tour of their strawberry and spinach farm. Madele Ferreira is a ball of energy and has developed many other products including the dried fruit you see here along with their own frozen berry brand. The strawberries are in most supermarkets and a delight to taste fresh from the farm. Look out for another Pick Your Own event - the short drive out is well worth it. - Taken by … [Read more...] about This is where your strawberries come from

Flamboyance? More like Cuteness Personified

By

Flamboyance? More like Cuteness Personified.   On Thursday evening we popped along to the Opera House to catch the final dress rehearsals for Flamboyance by Candice Johnstone Dance Academy - thanks for the virgin, 'not so virgin' pink drinks and superb Turkish delight, Carol-Anne.   One can see that the dancers have put a lot of effort into their routines - especially the tiny tots who exuded exuberance, happiness, fun and high levels of CUTE as they go through their fun dance … [Read more...] about Flamboyance?

Trennerys Hotel – Transkei’s Finest

By

Trennerys Hotel - up the River Gorge with Trevor's Trails, on the beach, at the pool and across the tennis court. A relaxing stay so far - with the kitchen staff going out of their way to attend to my somewhat fussy needs - Thanks so much Auntie Colleen - and friendly management making us feel relaxed and at home. Two meals a day and great lunches are making for stress on the weight front. #trennerys, #transkei, #trevorstrails, #alanstraton #mype - Taken by the Editor whilst wandering aimlessly … [Read more...] about Trennerys Hotel – Transkei’s Finest

THIS is what I would cease being a vegetarian for …

By

THIS is what I would cease being a vegetarian for - Sweet and Sour Pork from the Canton Restaurant at 232 Main Road, Walmer. BUT, sanity prevailed and I settled for the vegetarian option - Vegetable Chow Mein. The Canton is a venerable institution that has been around for decades. Under the ownership of Peter and Verna Whitely the Canton moved from Govan Mbeki Avenue to Walmer and still offers wonderful, non-greasy, non-oily Chinese food that is great value for money. Try their Crispy Fried … [Read more...] about THIS is what I would cease being a vegetarian for …
