A weekend of perfect weather in Cape Town meant taking advantage of the last of summer and appreciating what we have on our doorstep.
Mountain from my doorstep on Saturday morning
On Saturday morning I met Gareth and Alfie for a walk. I had visions of a leisurely walk in the park, a visit to the Oranjezicht Farm Market, which I had not been to yet, and an easy Saturday morning. Gareth had other ideas. He took his mother up the steepest hill in Cape Town, to the Deer Park trail walk, we did stop once so that Alfie could have a swim. If I had had half a chance I could have jumped in too.
On the way down, we did stop in at the Oranjezicht City Farm. What an oasis in the middle of suburbia. I bought a box of the most divine black figs and a variety of the best samoosas ever. There was still a way to walk so shopping was curtailed. Definitely heading back there soon.

Mother left for dust
A lovely walk through Deer Park, dogs, runners, mountain bikers. A beautiful spot which I had never been to before. I thought Deer Park was the cafe and small park attached to the restaurant!
De Waal Park
Gareth and Hayley were off to yet another wedding - No. 11 for the year and I had Alfie in my charge for the rest of the weekend. What could be better than sushi (and wine) in Kathy's courtyard? A first of many for Alfie.
Bet you can almost taste it?
Did we really leave some behind?
Alfie is now the honorary male at our lunches, since Nic decided to bail on us
He got tired of girl talk and decided to flatten the groundcover
Two favourites
and another two favourites
A lovely one for the start of a new week
These photographs make me want to jump on a plane to Cape Town post haste! So beautiful...
