Ferndale, Little Streams and the Spur.

It has been a windy week in Cape Town. And I don't like wind. So even though it has been sunny it hasn't been very pleasant outside.
But being Ouma's birthday we spent the afternoon outdoors and although it was a lovely afternoon, I suffered with terrible sinus/hayfever all night as a result.

Anyway, we started off at Ferndale or "the ducks" as it is known by my children.
We had a lot of stale bread in the cupboard for some reason! This is an outing that they always enjoy.We found this pair of ducks on the river, the girls thought it was very funny when one of them kept sticking his head under the water and his bottom in the air!!

At about 4 o'clock we decided it was time for tea so we took a drive further into Constantia in search of Little Streams - a place we had heard about but never been to. It wasn't difficult to find and it is a lovely place for tea. The garden is beautiful and although quite large, is relatively safe for the children to roam around in.

First we had some tea,



and then we went for a walk.

The grounds are really beautiful.



For supper, we went to the Spur and had yummy steaks and burgers (and also Niave's chicken and chips which she had "ordered" at lunchtime already!!).

(Of course there is the inevitable Spur sparkler when it's your birthday!)

All in all a busy day, but a good one.
