Family getaway to Landmeterskop Self Catering Farm 20kms from Stanford – As green as Ireland
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Twins had been promised two years ago (then 4 years of age) that they could go and see newly born lambs….they didn’t forget ! But due to the popularity of this venue we had to wait a while to get a five day stay and the bonus was that Camilla & Andrew came over from the UK and joined us.<\/p>\n

Early morning drive out of Cape Town over Sir Lowry’s Pass to avoid the traffic – magic dawn & unbelievable skies.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The drive down was an escape from the big city into wide rolling hills & vistas – by the time the kids had arrived and realised that they were set free it was smiles all round.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Even the birds were there to sing – I wonder what key this is in and what the tempo is –
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

New born lambs galore
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

With which goes responsibility of feeding the abandoned ones
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Clear Night sky – just the first night.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next morning heavy dew and deep mist –
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Quality time for all………….
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Oi where’s my girls eggs ?
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hands on education……….no thumbs required………(well in a way LOL)….
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What passes for wildlife down here
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Well off the road, so much free space to run around and explore – huge skies & views
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Well it’s a farm
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Dramatic Skies a plenty
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Lovely old trees
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Laughter, fun and games for all
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Confidence grows by the day Zsa Zsa now age 6 off to the hen house for egg collecting
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

More “Wildlife”
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cute hey >
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Well there has to be one !
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sisters & Mom catch up time
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

More skies and the cheeky chief gate opener
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Lunch out at Stanford Manor – well worth the trip – lovely surroundings and excellent food.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Trip out to Lomond Wine Farm and natch some purchases
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yes that’s the business end Camilla
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Not so still life
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yes Town boy Andrew this is what the country is like LOL
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sisterly bonding – such behaviour, all my fault I suppose……..\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So good time had by all – downcast faces when leaving but a promise to return soon. To be strongly recommended to anyone with small or not so small children<\/p>\n

Last View
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Final whispy Sky
