My ♥ stopped at Lourensford Wine Estate.

We stopped at Lourensford Estate (near the Helderberg Mountains) for breakfast on Sunday with good friends of ours. And it was a series of delightful serendipities.




FIRST STOP THE COFFEE BREWING CO.




 THEN EGG SOLDIERS WITH THE LOVELY AMY 




AND THEN ON TO CHEESE TASTING (I'VE NEVER BEEN THIS HAPPY!)



It was a lazy, happy morning, and I was reminded what a trip out of the city will do, away from the rush and the rubble. You start to notice everything around you again. I love the 'home-made-ness' of it all. Homemade coffee, cheese, jam, happiness.

My ♥ stopped at Oishii Delicious.

And it was delightful in a way I hadn't expected.




I had the vegetable lasagna. 


 He had the chow mein. 
 And read the newspaper for a bit.



It is a magical place. It feels almost as if someone needed a place to put all their travel memorabilia. The chairs are multi-coloured, the rabbits slightly sad looking. You must visit, even if just to drink out of marshmallow-hued teacups.
