Today we took a drive up to Graskop and Pilgrims Rest.
Had lunch at Harries famous Pancake Den,
Let me tell you, pancakes to die for, the best in the country.
visited some shops of interested amongst others, the silk shop.
Real woven silk garments from silk worms, done right there in front of you.
Percy bought me a silk scarf, as far as my memory serves me, I think it's
my very first ever, true piece, LOL, that is real or made from something meaningful,
eg. like silk...hehehe LOL, shame hahahaa...
there were other really nice items, but at a price.
I aim to re-visit this shop in December to purchase myself a real Silk Duvet.
hhmmmm lovely, Warm in winter and cool in Summer and apparently doesnt loose its shape
in five years you send it back to them to refluff.
then we took a drive to Pilgrims Rest and a stroll through there.

A memorial Stone in the Main Street, what was Eerie about this stone
is that it has my son's name on it. Co-incidence off course
An old telephone booth, and yes, I had to go into it..LOL
And off course, it just wouldnt be complete without a ride in
a Donkey drawn cart...LOL....with their flower power hats on
It was sooooo cute, not to mention the driver with he's real
felt hat, was just as looney and funny making the kids roar
with laughter
The drive back to Hazyview
I love this part of the world and I also LOVE Harries!
