Day 14 - Franschhoek

Morag and I got up really early and went off for a yoga class taught by Danielle at the Artemis Art House which is owned by Andrea who also joined us for the class. A small select group but it was an excellent hour which we all enjoyed. Morag and I returned to the house (boys still in bed!) to shower and get ready for our breakfast visit at Cafe Bon Bon. Yet another fabulous place in wonderful grounds and beautifully fitted out for the guests to enjoy meals, entertainment and the company of a huge cockerel!! (Yes he visits at tables regularly!) We  have been so lucky to experience these places and are quite envious of our friends who have so many lovely places right where they live.
Franschhoek is very pretty and has a wealth of interesting shops, cafes, restaurants and art studios all along the high street and we spent a while investigating many of them before returning home to change for our 'high tea' experience at La Residence.
Their chauffeur service picked us up and took us to the hotel where we shown to our cosy sofas in front of the fire and we settled in with a few glasses of bubbly to begin. Soon the food began to arrive, followed by the chef who explained everything he had presented, which apparently took him two days to prepare and his custard tart was always highly praised!
Not quite like an English afternoon tea but we enjoyed it nonetheless and the surroundings are quite outstanding. A lovely afternoon with our great friends with whom we always have a good laugh, and we also got chauffeured home again too! Brilliant day and Clive soon had another roaring fire going for us to cosy up by and watch a film. Bliss!
