This morning we visited the amazingly stunning –
Guarded by this statue –
The front door was flanked on one side by a stone wall and on the other by a living green wall –
Part of the corridor ceiling was a paper collage –
Leading to a very impressive art gallery –
With examples of some of the work on display –
Not quite sure what they all mean but they were impressive. This was one of the pictures outside the gallery –
A little more self explanatory!!!
There were 2 magnificent trophy rooms housing all the South African history of cricket, rugby and golf –
This cricket cap from 1906 –
All sorts of memorabilia –
And the Springbok on every SA rugby blazer was slightly different each year –
This was some of the wine racks in the tasting room –
Views outside from the balcony –
And onto the balcony –
This is the stable block – UNREAL –
Then off to the Spier Estate –
Which was very different. Here you could rub the stones and they emitted musical sounds –
African beaded art to buy –
And a wall covered with plastic bottles housing sedums –
A very good day out.
