Nice lunch with the Danes

Two Danish soccer followers came to visit Withoek on Wednesday. What a nice surprise. If we knew they would stay this long we would have organized something for their team as well. Maybe a semi final.
It was great having the first guests of Wim Dreyer, a South African tourist guide, working in the Southern Cape region for lunch. We couldn't never compete with the restaurants in town like Dorpshuis, Rooi Ketel and The Handelshuis, but with a good 'roosterkoek' en boerewors with a glas of Withoeks wines it was a real great event.
The dam's enlargment come on nicely. It is really something seeing those big machines working and moving 8 to 10 cubes of soil with ease. If I didn't pay for it I would want them to continue a bit longer. We also decided to add another piece of land to our one block which will then become 2,8ha. This block next to the river on the Indraai road will be planted with Colombard and is aimed at the Brandy market. They call it in the wine circles ' rabat' which is the wine they distill to make brandy and or spirits.
The biggest job this week was removing the bigger stones from the vineyard next to the Calitzdorp Country lodge - Allan Fabigs' place. The stones might make mechanical work on the soil difficult and be a bit hard on the ploughs. There is though a few stones which is very big and we will have to bury. I thought of loading a few and put them at the entrance of Herminashof. Might be nice for directions. Go to the stones and turn left.
