Early Thursday morning started
off overcast. We went along to Trossachs
Guest House - now called The
Lords Guest House. This charming guest
house has a wonderful position with views
over McGregor and Robertson;. A few of
us walked up to their chapel which has a
special feel about it.. The wedding
book in the bares testimony to the many
happy functions held there! |
 |
 |
|
This stone chapel is really on the top of the
world. Linda and Ann decided to sit in
comfort and catch up with some reading whilst
the rest of us walked around the property.
Tea and coffee was shared before we drove down
to Kings River
Estate and then finally ended up
in McGregor mid morning. |
|
|
|
Temenos
was our first port-of-call. The
wonderful gardens provided well needed shade and
Margot took the opportunity to sit and rest
and was soon joined by some ducks. (not old
ducks!) |
|
|
|
Bridget is always keen to play the fool and she
and Joy found an oleander and played
'hide-and-seek' - some people will go to any
length to avoid having their photograph taken.
We spent a wonderful day in McGregor with a good
lunch at Tebaldis.
By now the weather had cleared up and clear
skies with heat emerged. After a wine tasting at
Graham Beck
everyone was quite ready to return to their
respective guest house to have a
rest/swim/reflexology treatment, to while away
an hour or two. |
|
 |
 |
|
Dinner tonight was back in McGregor - even
though we had to drive back and forth from
Robertson to McGregor twice in one day, it was
made even more special by our charming hosts at
Karoux Restaurant
where nothing was too much trouble! The
meals that came out of their kitchen were
excellent as the plate of prawns with
garlic/lemon butter sauce and vegetables, shows! |
|
 |
 |
|
Christiaan our coach driver who made
everyone comfortable - his knowledge of
history, geography and even his music
choice on the way home from McGregor
after dinner made our time in Robertson
so much more special. Linda,
Denise and Trish again ready to smile
for that d#@$% photographer! |
|
 |
 |
|
All too soon we were back at the N1
garage shop where our trusty friends,
Hylton Ross were ready with their second
vehicle to transport the
Constantia/Camps Bay ladies home.
"Wow I couldn't have bought ALL this"
said Bridget in disbelief.
At the end of this tour everyone felt
that it was a very relaxed way to spend
4 days in the company of wonderful
friends. |
|
|
|
Everyone
knows of the power of friends,
The terrific result, when everything blends.
When people have friends, they don’t stand
alone;
Friends always help, when you face the unknown. |
