the old biscuit mill adventure

a family weekend was what we all needed . . . and most of my family hadn't been to the mill before :) I have heard such amazing reviews on it, I thought great. was really excited, so up and early, ready to go . . . pity we have a teenager to get ready too . . . so, averagely early start.

bit of a dodge area though, middle of Woodstock, and the cream of the crop roaming the streets of Cape Town. But due to Dads' superior parking skills, we found a parking close enough to the gate.

 entering, my breath was taken away. so exciting, a new place, nobody I recognised and with the family all together, Saturday outing . . .

I do love my dear family so . . . thank you all for the lovely weekend together <3

Country Fair

Just a Sunday stroll with my love, we went to the Noordhoek Fair. Courtney and I have been before, but this year seemed a lot smaller to me. We were a little apprehensive, but I really wanted to have a look. Sooo . . . we paid our R20 EACH! I thought that was a little pricey to walk around a smelly field, and look to spend more. Though the money was going to Conservation of the endangered Leopard Toads. It was run by volunteers and Noordhoek Environmental Action Group & the Noordhoek Conservancy.

Pick n Pay protests

Sooo . . . something a little different . . .

The Pick n Pay workers were striking.

" Pick n Pay and the union said they would meet at the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration today over picketing rules. Mr Mbongwe said customers could expect picketing near every store.

Among other things, Saccawu is demanding a R550-a-month, or 12%, wage increase - “whichever was greater per worker” — and a 10% staff discount on basic foodstuffs "

a quote from http://www.businessday.co.za/Articles/Content.aspx?id=124821 

well, that didn't surprise me much . . . what I found odd was that they were protesting at train stations around Cape Town. And, funny enough, all the way from Cape Town to Fish Hoek, and then split up and went home :)

The billboard behind them says something very interesting. Freedom of expression.

was nice to see people staring at the protesters all over Cape Town . . . some were standing around, taking pictures (like I was) and asking questions.

peace and love
