Picnic time.

This afternoon we popped in at Kirstenbosch for a picnic with friends Kelsey and Bryce.
It was another berg-windy day and very gusty but in between the gusts it was lovely!
Instead of heading downhill straight to the river, we went up - to avoid the water at all costs! Actually it's great at the top part of the garden and a bit quieter too as it's quite a task carrying all your picnic paraphernalia up the steep paths, but I had 4 happy helpers so we managed.
We decided to sit in the part of the gardens called the Erica Garden.

There was a wonderful, steep rolling hill above us that was begging for some little feet to charge down it and almost collapse on top of the photographer perched on the picnic mat at the bottom!
After our lunch we went for a walk and discovered the much needed water fountain. Those hills are deceptively steep!!


Niave was very upset by the wind and went through many "moods"!

But, despite the wind (and the shrieking toddler) we had a good time.
