Vergelegen Main Homestead.

Vergelegen, meaning "situated far away", was granted to the Governor of the Cape in 1700 and the property has had a long fascinating history since that time. William Adriaan Van Der Stel, was a man of divergent interests who transformed the uncultivated land into a variable paradise. He planted vines, camphor trees and oaks, laid out fruit orchards and orange groves and introduced cattle and sheep.

Blaauwklippen Manor House.

Blaauwklippen is one of South Africa's most time-honoured wine estates, created in 1682. From its early beginnings up until the present day, it has been a reflection of family tradition - a tradition which has allowed it to grow. This is also most likely why, over the course of time, all the buildings have been preserved and carefully restored. Our carriage museum is a perfect example, with its sizeable collection of antique vehicles. Still, in perfect condition, these romantic carriages will take you on a ride through our magnificent vineyards.

Old Farm House.

Old Cape houses, with thatched roofs, are very simple in design, they always stop me dead in my tracks whenever I see one, and they have a unique charm about them. The mist seems to add to the atmosphere and I find it very difficult to resist painting them.

Main House.

I came across this property while driving through Sir Lowry's Village. It was abandoned but protected by gates and an electric fence. A local stopped and spoke to me while I was painting, he told me what I was painting was once used as a coach house. According to him, this was the last stop for wagons, about to embark on the very tough journey up Sir Lowry's Pass. True or not I am uncertain, I do know that many wagons did pass this way, the ruts they left are still to be seen and they were declared a national monument in 1958

Barclays Bank JHB.

Sadly it no longer exists; a number of wonderful buildings were destroyed in central Johannesburg around 1984. If I remember correctly, the reason given for the destruction was PROGRESS. Makes you wonder?

Stellenbosch Café.

Stellenbosch is a great place and I always enjoy walking around the busy streets and looking at the many shops and art galleries. Brightly coloured umbrellas attract you to stop and enjoy a cup of coffee. I found this place difficult to resist
