Cape Robin-Chats on the prowl

Andrea send me this lovely pic of a Cape Robin-chat being very cheeky.  It knows when the butter dish doesn't have its lid on and takes a chance to steal some butter.

Our club is 2 years old!

The BBB Club celebrated its 2nd anniversary today!  We were hosted at Pat and John Ruane's house in Franschhoek Estate, a huge gorgeous house with spectacular views on all sides.

Johann Burger, one of our own members, gave us a talk on cheetahs and his work on the Cheetah Conservation Foundation in Namibia.  This was followed by a lovely potjie lunch, cooked by our members. Everyone contributed and there was food for an army.  The weather could not have been better, had we ordered it ourselves!  A glorious day.

On the menu was Pork Curry potjie (Pat Ruane), Beef Lentil and Mushroom potjie (Johann Burger), Chicken Potjie (Robyn & Adel Kadis), white rice (Angela), brown wild rice (R & A Kadis), salad, corn bread (Cynthia Woodsong), Chocolate pudding (R & A Kadis) and delicious pavlova (Pat Ruane).  Lots of wine was donated and even 2 bottles of champagne found there way on to the table.

Here's to at least another 22 years together, and maybe even more.  Cheers!
