Family Time :Franschhoek

A beautiful Saturday on Valentines day, yep I know I'm so late with this post, I was gonna leave it until a friend asked where our pictures where taken when she saw it ,so I thought let me share, because I'm sure a lot of us staying just an hour away haven't visited this hidden beauty. I myself haven't seen much of Franschhoek and planning many more visits.

So on this day my husband worked and I thought I'll just spend my Saturday at home chilling doing whatever ,until he surprised me and got home earlier then usual. He asked me so nicely to get done, he wanted to surprise me but being the draggy person I am (yes I take long to get done) I was still slow and I was getting looks from him already. So on our way I begged him to tell me where we going and he didn't,  so I decided to just sit back, relax and enjoyed the ride.

So we finally arrived in the small town of Franschhoek, a beautiful day, lovely atmosphere and love was definitely in the air,  the restaurants where all decorated, balloons, roses, you name it. The town is so beautiful and the people so friendly, I wouldn't mind staying here, away from the busy Cape Town,  I thought to myself. We walked around at the stalls, in the streets, sat on the grass, took pictures ,admired the monument and had an exquisite time at a small cosy restaurant. I had such a lovely time even though I must admit half a day is not enough you'll need more time to explore but definitely a day to remember. ♡

Family time:Strawberries galore...

Hey Shinies
hope everyone doing good, why not? Festive, holiday time is here!

So we had a few visits to Stellenbosch since October, we're exploring that side of the world, I feel that we always go to Cape Town side if we go out for the day. I must say I've been enjoying it so much, Stellenbosch has so much to offer, so it means we will still have to do a lot of visits before we see and discover all the beauty.

If you feel for some strawberries or just a outing with the kids/family there's Polkadraai Farm and then there's Mooiberg Farm both Stellenbosch side. We visited Mooiberg Farm located on the R44 between Stellenbosch and Somerset West,if you on that road it will be hard to miss the colourful scarecrows and animals on the sidewalk and don't even talk about the breathtaking landscapes.
There's a lot  to keep you and the kids entertained, strawberry picking with the family, a restaurant for the hungry tummies and a farm stall that sells lovely jams, pickles,dried fruit and many more to take  home.

So where ever you go shop you need to obviously pay for your goods then you can eat it, oh gosh how difficult was that with picking strawberries, while you pick you want to take it from there in your mouth, my mouth was watering to just take a bite. Well my daughter did the tasting, there were just no stopping her from that,lol. It was my first time picking,defnitely not my last, and it was so much fun.After paying I just couldn't stop eating that beautiful sweet delicious red strawberries. yum!

Look at that facey..hehe....this was the look in the begining and after that she couldn't stop eating and smiling.

She's soo busy..

They do the picking,,I will do the smiling :)

I will definitely go again, the strawberries are much cheaper than what they are in the stores and obviously much fresher too, we just picked them, they weren't in the fridge and well the truck and ten other places they normally go to before it reach our tummies..hehe.

love this pic,,,she has the strawbeery on her fingertip ...

We then looked for a place to have a picnic, we went to the Jan Marais Nature Reserve, so beautiful there.I took some pictures but were to tired to walk around, hubby and I just chilled on the blanket with our goodies and the girls had fun at the park.

.                                                                    Thee end...
                                                          Hope you enjoyed my pics :)
