Lighting the dark
(Notes from the Cape in Johannesburg)
In a recent post, I spoke about our guest house in Krugersdorp. This lovely lantern hung in the middle of the outside dining area.

On the 1 Jan 2011, Cape Town moved a little closer to being in a “nanny state”. The new drinking laws have put even tighter restrictions on when restaurants and pubs can serve alcohol.
If the local government really think that it is going to make any difference to alcohols consumption, they clearly have been consuming too much alcohol themselves. This is just 5 years after the UK have relaxed drinking laws.
I wonder how much binge drinking will happen just before 11pm?
Happy Christmas
The table has been set, the food is cooking, and the family will be arriving in just a couple of hours for a Christmas-Eve dinner. I hope that you all have a wonderful Christmas filled with friendship, love and happiness. When you pull your Christmas crackers, I hope they bring wonderful memories for the future.
Thank to for reading my blog, and a special thank you for the many comments, it is always nice to know that you are enjoying my views of Cape Town.
Happy Christmas!
Till death do us part
A chocolate skull found in a remarkable shop in the lanes in Brighton. They specialise in morbid and gothic chocolates and cakes.
It is rather bizarre, but the artwork is absolutely amazing. I forget the exact figues, but the cake costs something like 200 pounds, but it feeds about 100 people.
The shop is called choccywoccydoodah, and their website is www.choccywoccydoodah.com.
I think that their other shops do regular chocolates, but not this branch.
