This weekend I escaped with my Sister, Mum and brother-in-law-to-be to a guest farm near Stanford for some R& R... & E... & D (w+b)... and F... and L (both kinds)* - and to celebrate my sister's birthday. We discovered the Salmonsdam Nature Reserve - a place that deserves a return visit or two to explore the kloofs and waterfalls. On our way back to our farm cottage we passed some horses in a field, and what with the spectacular pre-sunset light sneaking through the thick, dark clouds of a rapidly approaching cold front, as well as this beautiful model, well, I couldn't resist...

*Rest and Relaxation... and Eating (damn fine food too!)... and Drinking (REALLY good wine as well as Birkenhead beer)... and Fun (in Africa's southern-most forest, Salmonsdam Nature Reserve and Belofdebos Farm)... and Laughter/Love
