How quickly the weather has changed. From a pleasantly warm and calm day yesterday, overnight we have had 25mm of rain ---- and it's still raining. But despite the dreary day there is always something beautiful to see --- right now there is a beautiful scarlet robin sitting on the bare tree branches outside the window where I am sitting. Such a lovely splash of colour. 
One of the joys of this lovely garden at Greenslade is that since our arrival in the middle of June there has been a constant display of flowers -- roses, jonquil varieties, lavender, pink heath, violets, and many I don't know the name of - that seem to attract a lovely range of birds as well. But I digress from the line of thought for my post today.
In my last post I gave you a small look at some of the local walks we have enjoyed. Today I am going to share with you some of the 'cultural adventures' we have experienced since the beginning of July.
GRANDVEWE 'BLUE LOVERS' WEEKEND & HARTZVIEW WINERY - 7th July
A mere 15 minutes drive from here is the Grandvewe Cheesery. The 'Blues' weekend gave us an opportunity to sample some organic sheep's milk cheese - all blue of course.
