My Christmas tree
View from my family’s house in Fish Hoek
Strawberry picking
Spier
Happy New Year! I hope you all had a great Christmas. I know I did – I got to see my entire family at Christmas time and spend NYE with special friends.
Recently I went strawberry picking in heels with Luke in Stellenbosch. It costs R25 per kilo. We filled our bowl and only paid R17 (a giveaway really). Afterwards, we went to Spier wine estate because I had never been before. I’m not really into commercial wine farms…it gets a bit too busy. We’re really spoilt for choice when it comes to wine farms in the Western Cape.
I wish you all a kick-ass 2012.
And thank you so much for reading my little blog in 2011.

P.S I didn’t plan to pick strawberries in heels – it was spontaneous

That sounds like so much fun! I would never be able to go strawberry picking in the weather we’re having, you make me envious!
And good for you for doing it in heels–you’re a trooper.
