How about this for the view from your kitchen window?

Last evening, I was able to break out from the small group that we have formed this week and was invited over to Stellenbosch for a meal with Grahame Tomes and his wife. Their house is full of modern comforts but the ambiance of the surroundings is wonderfully evocative of Africa with the flora and views across to Table Mountain being wonderful (as per the photograph). Of course, the weather helped! Earlier in the day we had been to Pringle Bay on the eastern side of the Cape Bay. The sea was a stunning colour and we were able to eat some of the best fish and chips that you could imagine. All good for the playing stamina, of course.
