It’s humorous, however after we did lastly handle a Covid-19 escape to Badensfontein in Montagu, I used to be so in want of a break that we didn’t really do a heck of lots whereas away on vacation – which as anybody who reads this weblog would know, is a slightly unusual factor for us certainly. So though we did drive across the city for a little bit of sightseeing, fulfilled an order for Monty at Drie Berge Vineyard, poked our noses in at Capedry dwelling of the Cape Dried Fruit Packers, petted the bunnies at Guano Cave Resort, and watched the nesting sacred ibises from the Leidam chook disguise, most of our vacation time was spent again within the cottage, sitting on the stoep and admiring the view.
That’s to not say although that we didn’t nip out for a deal with to eat now and again, and on the day that Chantelle left us to return dwelling and bake, we completed off her stick with a bit sightseeing jaunt across the city, adopted by some espresso and lemon meringue at Tripadvisor darling, the Rambling Rose. Located in an previous constructing alongside the principle street (technically a part of the R62 route) that runs via the small city of Montagu, the Rambling Rose describes itself as a rustic kitchen – a mixture of a espresso store, a farm store, a bakery, and given the quantity of curios and items on supply, a bit dose of treasure store as effectively.
We sat all the way down to tuck into our lemon meringue, chocolate brownies, espresso, and waffles with ice cream treats within the snug courtyard, the place the ladies instantly busied themselves enjoying with the assorted cats strolling between the tables. Whereas we had been suitably impressed with Rambling Rose’s Covid-19 protocols, we did sadly hit them on a day when the baked items had been sadly a bit on the previous/dry aspect of the size, which was a pity as a result of total the setting was cozy and really welcoming.
In any occasion, it did get us out of the home and permit us to bid a fond farewell to Chantelle as she hit the lengthy street again dwelling to Gordon’s Bay, leaving the ladies and I to select up provides and head again out into the hills to Badensfontein, in order that I might arrange one more night braai whereas the ladies entertained themselves with a refreshing splash within the splash pool.
Appeared like a great way to finish off the day to me.
