A lazy day

Yesterday was just that but in the late morning we decided to go and explore the world around us. Well first stop was Underberg Cheesery. They make a variety of great cheeses and only supply to local Delis and to the Real Cheese and Get Stuffed Enterprises in Cape Town. Lovely variety of cheeses and the Cheese lady herself was there to talk us through her cheeses. Needless to say we left with a few different cheeses just to add flavour to our journey.As we left it started raining and I mean RAINING. Bucketed down and by the time that we got to Underberg, a mere 5 km away it was thunder and lightning and Dick into the Info centre and me into the Lemon Tree Coffee Shop. The idea was to find out what there was to do and see in the immediate "omgewing" and then go and do it. Well with the rain and thunder and all that , the only thing logical left for us was to do was to visit the Himesville Arms Hotel and the local pub there and to have a bottle of Red wine. It is an OLD hotel with a very old pub and it is clear that it has seen many a happy night, especially from the Trout fishing fraternity. Not sure how it is positioned at the moment, but it was cold outside and there was a fire inside and the new manager joined us to warm up at the fire. She ensured us that she has only been there for about 2 weeks and already the locals are coming back and things are looking up. Takes some skill to turn a business around that rapidly. Sure many f would at some time or other had wanted such a "wunderkid"in our worlds. We can only wish her the best. I must say Himeville is a lovely little town only 5km away from Underberg. It is truelly a beautiful part of the world.
