We've had a busy week, so decided to have a long lie this morning. After a leisurely start, we stopped at the farmers market in town to stock up on goodies for the next week, and had a very good brunch at a cafe called Graze.
Next stop was the Klein River Cheese Co for a bit more deli shopping, then on the way back to town we stopped at the Birkenhead Brewery to taste a few beers and buy some essential supplies and finished up with a visit to the Fynbos Distillery for a bottle of their 'Purple Haze' Gin.
By the time we got home, we had taken care of most of the shopping for our week of self catering at De Hoop, although we still need some essentials such as meat, vegetables and firewood - which we can pick up at the supermarket on our way south tomorrow.
Finished the afternoon with a 2 1/2 hour stroll around the Stanford Wandelpad - a footpath around the outside of town which follows the River and the Vlei and was great for bird-watching - saw a few of our old favourites but also managed to spot a couple of new species and Linda got a great shot of a Damselfly along the way.
Home for a quiet glass of Lomond Sauvignon Blanc while I caught up on the day's sports results. Tremendous wins for the Springboks over the All Blacks and for Argentina over Australia and even better to see that Simon Yates is almost certain to win the Vuelta a Espana - and Arsenal won away from home as well!
Dinner was a Bobotie Pie which we picked up in the market washed down by a bottle of Veldfire Pinotage - a great way to finish a very relaxing day.

How was the gin. Not as good as Edinburgh Gin I bet.
