Tasting some
MCC on the Weltevrede stand and talking to Elzette
A great warm
welcome from Paul de Wet of Zandvliet
Not that you
would have wanted to with the river rising after the heavy rains
We could not
resist the food sold on the Zandvliet stand. John had the crisp battered
yellowtail with onion rings and chips and Lynne the tenderest lamb chops cooked
to perfection with a very good marinade, also with crisp onion rings and chips.
Only R45 a serving.
The muddy
entrance to the festival: Lots of us wore wellies
Heading for

A bit wet for
a boat trip. Next year!
