One of the big wine estates here in the Western Cape Province of South Africa, has now established a Winter Market.
Very smart, and peaceful out in the open with views out of this world.
They had it all, tasteful food, music and even a bar. It is winter here now, and nice sunny days are scarce, so everyone was out to enjoy the sunshine. A wonderful experience after the tons of rain we had these past weeks. The staff at the place are very friendly and a great atmosphere made our visit a real pleasure. Out in the open on a sunny day was made for this.
But enough talk and come and see what I have in here.
This is a #MarketFriday post managed by 
This is a beautiful tree lined road up to the market. The trees are all naked, as it's winter, and in summer this turns into a lovely green road.
Some pedestrians crossing a side road. Guinea fowls.
My lady found us an empty spot on that wine barrel.
She got us two take away coffees, while I was walking around with my camera.
Let's have a look at the interior of the building.
A statue of some ladies having a friendly chat. Like the trees, they were also naked and in spring they will also start to dress themselves again :)
And finally, to show you my favorite view of the white wine cellar near the mountains.
So, like I said before, there is always something going on here and our way of life is not to slouch our time away on a couch. I mean that we don't even have a TV, as Mother nature is our TV.
Winter, summer and whatever, we are out there every chance that we get. Of course, the rest of the time our charity work takes precedence, and we are glad to report that we are making great headway with Papillon's support in the poor communities. I plan to do a bumper charity post in the #combination account soon, to show you some great achievements.
Getting back to the subject matter, we suffered two burnouts and the last one nearly cost me my life. Nature and our God are great healers, and I am slowly making way health wise. Waiting now for a blood test on the 18th of July to see if the treatment for my chronic iron level was successful. In the meantime, we just keep on going as best we can.
Such is life.

Note that there is also a much bigger summer market at the estate and many other activities.
I hope that you have enjoyed the pictures and the story.
And That's All Friends.
