Nacht Wacht- and the not so dreaded christmas party

The first thing we saw as soon as we parked the car was this tree. For some reason, a picture had to be taken.. My first Christmas party and im glad to say that is was not a disaster, quite dignified actually. Good wine (2004), great venue and good company. i was waiting for someone to misbehave but alas, I guess people in the bundus are more calmer and less prone to dancing on the tables like my fellow city-sleekers!
No prices for guessing..
No that wwas not my drink, the decoration on the table. Although it could have done with a fresher rose.
The oldest building on the farm, this now houses the Art gallery where Melanie Albertyn (our host) has some of her painting as well as other artists. i think it used to be a stable (since the history of the farm goes back to the 1800s) but Melanie told us the history of the farm as we were eating and gulping some 5 year old Shiraz, so details of her talk are bit schrachy.
The restaurant, which is in the middle of the farm, called Country Cuisine.
