B&L Direct team

This is the B&L Direct Marketing, immediate team. Loriane (middle) owns and manages the company and Lezil is the Office Manager. We had a Christmas lunch at Mamma Roma with all our graphics designers and copywriters this week. We each had to make a gift for one other person- the gift had to be totally recyclable and cost us nothing. Being a very creative team of people, it was a lot of fun.

Ernst's Birthday!!

We had some friends and family over on Sunday for a braai, to celebrate Ernst's 26th Birthday.

Clifton Beach for supper

These are some very special friends i met in the UK. We are now all back in SA and it was wonderful to get together for a picnic supper on Friday eve at Clifton beach, to celebrate Heather's birthday. As the sun set, ppl took candles out all over the beach- they looked so beautiful flickering in the sand.

Moyo

Loriane and I were invited to Moyo for lunch on Friday, by Merpak- one of our envelope suppliers- we buy millions of envelopes from them every year. We all had to dress up with something African- so Evelyn (our domestic worker at B&L) tied a scarf on my head in the traditional Xhosa way.

K DAY!!

Ernst and i and some friends went to K-Day- 12 SA bands played from 11am to 7:30pm, while we picniced on the grass at Lourensford Wine Estate in Somerset West. Watershed was definitely my favourite. Johnny Kleg, Parletones, Karen Zoid, Jody Williams, Flat Stanley and Freshly Ground were amongst others who played. We all got way too much sun, but it was alot of fun.

Family

This is my precious family- together at last when Lara visited us from Angola for a few days, before heading to Scotland and Canada. We get the chance to be together a few times a year-and it's always so special. This photo was taken at Java in Stellenbosch, where we went for supper.

Mt Nelson for High Tea

We took some of our clients from DA to the Mt Nelson for High Tea- to celebrate to start of summer. The weather was perfect (we sat outside on the verandah) and the food delicious. This is Cape Town's equivalent of going to the Ritz for high tea- and it defenately measures up.
