Imagine!… Manicure your nails, trim your uni-brow (yes you too sir) while a Text to Speech website elegantly reads out all those never-ending & boring Terms & Conditions before you accept it – Absolutely Fabulous! Keep a drool-hanky handy and watch the new Forage video by Chris Botha. Do a Random Act of Kindness with Creation Wines … & then drink some ; ) Win a fantastical meal for 2 at Benguela Cove – transported by chauffeur – or a 2 night stay for 2 at O on Kloof Boutique Hotel & Spa in Cape Town …just click and read!

#Win a momentous dinner for two at #BenguelaCove Lagoon Wine Estate. Benguela Cove enjoys majestic views of the Bot River Lagoon and Palmiet Mountains.

Music Matters!
The 13th Greyton Genadendal Classics for All Festival is on from the 19th until the 21st of May 2017. It’s that time of the year again, when the charming villages of Greyton and Genadendal in the foothills of the Sonderend Mountains in the Overberg come alive with the magical sounds of classical music. Come see why this intimate and fun festival of classical music is one of the most popular festivals in the Western Cape.
Magical Musician! #Music In Cape Town on 11 February. In East London on 3 March. In Dover UK on 18 March. Our favourite Cellist ~ HA!Man Francois Le Roux
Invite him to do a private-function performance for your guests ~ Pure Energy ~ you will not need Tequila! (Or Cocaine if that is still a thing.) HA!man’s music puts everyone on a natural high!
UK readers, please look at the Spontaneous CreHA!tivity Day free expression workshop with South Africa’s HA!Man Sat 18 March 2017
The Studios 67 Astley Avenue, Dover, Kent CT16 2PL 10h-16h (10am to 4pm) £10 per participant, limited to 15 – book now!
ART Matters!
Art@alemenkerk is an experience based sculpture garden and gallery that finds its home at the award winning Almenkerk wine estate which overlooks the picturesque valleys of Elgin in the Western Cape, South Africa. The current exhibition (MUTE W!SDOM ~ Opening on 15 Feb.) will silently trigger feelings, emotions, render you speechless and makes you contemplate their underlying messages.
FOOD Matters!
Our Restaurant recommendations of the month:
In the absence of Michelin Stars in South Africa – We shall demonstratively feature this restaurant three *** times in a row! Forage restaurant at Wildekrans is still doing their genius indigenous dining thing. Watch the video by Chris Botha ! Keep a drool-hanky handy.
The Botrivier Hotel does a four course traditional “Boerekos” Sunday Lunch at R145!
