OUR FLORAL KINGDOM PULLS THEM IN


Anna Pogglioni (remember him of the Fistful of Dollars fame?) and Maud Cross toured the hinterland and coastal zone in search of flowers - from Nieuwoudtville down to St Helena Bay - and find them they did: katsterte, reƫnblommetjies and a myriad other varieties as far as their eyes could feast.

Today they're headed for the annual Hopefield Fynbos Show - into its 19th year if I am not mistaken - but before they set out, a West Coast breakfast of fruity filled pancakes, haddock and poached eggs and all the preserves that this great area offers: korrelkonfyt, buchu marmalade and makataan. Don't know what these are? Well, you're just going to have to come and find out for yourself!
