Christmas dinner: Rillette and Boeuf Wellington with Macushla & Marlbrook '95
The table set for Christmas dinner
Presents under the tree
Shannon Macushla Pinot Noir
was an excellent partner for some duck rillette
The main course - no turkey!
Filet de Boeuf Wellington, ready for the oven
and ready to serve
with a 1995 Klein Constantia Marlbrook
which was simply beautiful
- who says SA wines don't age well? -
and a tribute to the skill of Ross Gower
The beef carved
One of Lynne's wonderful Christmas puds to finish
with a splash of a 12 year old

A farewell look at the Neighbourgoods Market
A photo from the early days
Mark Bayly and son came to visit his father, Peter, who sold his port next to us
Peter Kampmeinert, visiting from Holland, enjoyed tasting it
Two of our more popular products
Yvonne Kampmeinert
Marina and Georgie selling The Creamery's ice cream near us
Georgie Berens is an art student
She drew this caricature of us
Cameron Munro, one of the market's owners
Jessie, vamping it up
Fritz, who sells Pesto Princess pestos
It was even a good place to be on a rainy winter day
with the tented area getting wet
and cold, but still smiling
Arnold & Denise Couzyn with a table of Wayne Rademeyer's buffalo mozzarella
Julie Carter sells fish at Ocean Jewels
and Richard sold French cheeses and patés
Naughty boys selling ice cream to Eskimos
Good fresh veg
and a young admirer
Pesto Princess has generous free samples,
Emily Gammon helping the fans
The focus is now more on selling things to eat and drink in situ than on selling produce
A popular venue for social activity, "market fare" and craft beer
and a smile on our last day
No regrets, we had a good time while it lasted
We wish continued success to all the friends we have made there in the last 3½ years
