Lynne caught up with Johan Bongani Olivier at the John Collins tasting
and he asked her if we would like to join him and his partner at this recital
Diemersfontein hosts a market on Sunday mornings
so we enjoyed a pie and a glass of chenin blanc before
moving to the manor house for the recital
Daniel Conradie and Johann Bongani Olivier who were kind enough to drive us there and back
David Sonnenberg presented the performers to the audience
