(
I posted this story last week, but gremlins got into the blog and I had to delete and start again!! So, I lost the lovely comments that had been sent to me............and that's the worst part!!)
A couple of weeks ago we had the wheel bearings on Gemsquash (our caravan) replaced, so, of course, we had to try them out! We have just returned from a wonderful few days at Klondyke Cherry Farm. Just north of Ceres, the fruit capital of W.C., the farm is tucked under the Matroosberg range and enjoys cooler summers and colder winters (often with snow up to the front door!) than much of the surrounding countryside. The actual Matroosberg peak is the highest in the Western Cape. It doesn't look it though, but when you add the height of the peak to the 1200 metres (3720 feet) above sea level of the area, well, it is so! Table Mountain is about 1100 metres all by itself and it has it's toes nearly in the sea!
