Dear Hearts and Gentle People
Sjoe, daar’s soveel opwindende goeters wat gebeur het en wat nog wag om te gebeur. Die belangrikste van alles is natuurlik dat ek laas Woensdag, na twee jaar se gesukkel, uiteindelik gehersoneer is vir besigheid na derduisende en derduisende rande en nog derduisendes wat betaal moet word, maar Zietsies is ten einde laaste legal en wettig en alles wat moet wees. Ek het sommer die polisie ook gaan sien en met die bevelvoerder van Brixton gesels – hulle is net so gatvol vir my bure wat hulle ter alle tye bel omdat ek kwansuis raas! Ek het ook al die by-laws oor klank bekom en ek wag vir hulle om weer te kla oor mense wat gesels op my stoep.....
For those of you that do not understand Afrikaans very well – Zietsies has finally been resoned and we are legal!!! At long last.
Die laaste twee wyn-proe aande, met Constantia Glen en Bosman Wyne onderskeidelik, was ‘n reuse sukses en op 26 en 29 Oktober bring Catherine Marshall www.cmwines.co.za haar boetiek-wyne vir ons om te proe. Hannetjie de Clercq www.hdeclercq.co.za het haar etikette vir die bottels ontwerp en Cathy gaan sommer ‘n paar van Hannetjie se skilderye ook bring vir ‘n mini-uitstalling saam met die kos en wyn. Onthou daar is net 14 plekke per aand beskikbaar en bespreek so gou moontlik. R 200 pp.
Sondag 1 November is die gewone Kos en Konsert met my en Janine wat alreeds amper uitverkoop is. Spring om te bespreek. Die gewone R 350 pp.
Maandagaand 2 November het ons ‘n Margarita en Kuns aand. Alex Hamilton www.alexhamilton.co.za kom ook al die pad van die Kaap af om sy werk vir ons te kom wys. Margaritas and snacks are on the house and there will be a cash bar if tequilla is not your thing. Please let me know if you will be attending so that I can prepare enough food!
Sunday 15 November Janine and I will be doing our last Kos en Konsert for the year.
Anna Davel www.annadavel.co.za will be doing the Kos en Konsert on Sunday 22 November and on 29 November Lize Beekman www.lizebeekman.co.za is back with her guitar!

Lekker dag!

P.S. As promised in my previous letter, herewith some pictures of Clinton with his new cello.
Clinton and his new cello are doing incredibly well, in fact so well that Ann had to buy him new black clothes to play in the school concert as all student who achieved more than 90% had to play!! Clinton says it is the new cello that allowed him to do so well.
Remember to become a member of the Culture Club. All membership fees go into a seperate account and is used for charity. Clinton’s cello was bought from the Culture Club Fund with the generous assistance of Monica Solomons and the South African Union of Temple Sisterhoods.
