\"\"It was my first road trip outside Cape Town in many months, I realised, not having left Cape Town in a year, other than a short business trip to Stellenbosch earlier during Lockdown. The reason for the trip was an opportunity to see the wild flowers of the West Coast, particularly spectacular this year due to the heavy winter rains, on the Waylands Farm private nature reserve outside Darling, owned by John and Jeanette Duckitt. It became a mini Huguenot High School Matric English class reunion, this being our 50th anniversary of leaving school, and celebrating 62 years of five of us having started school together in Wellington 62 years ago. <\/p>\n

Jenny Stephens and I decided to make a little road trip out of our reunion, and combined a \"\"number of stops and experiences on our two day break. We were very grateful to stay at Waylands Guest House, so planned the trip to incorporate a stop at Prim Reddy\u2019s Indian Chapter in Bloubergstrand, to explore Darling again, and to see the wild flowers on Waylands.<\/p>\n

Bubbly Chef Prim is a Restaurateur of note, her Indian Chapter having been recognised as the Best Indian restaurant in the Cape by Eat Out for four years running. Having done a tribute to Women Restaurant owners for Women’s Month, Chef Prim was one of those recognised, so we stopped at her very new restaurant building in Bloubergstrand to present her with a bottle of ADHARA extra virgin olive oil. Chef Prim very kindly invited us to experience a taste of her Indian dishes, a spicy start to our Road Trip. Yesterday I posted a story about our visit to Indian Chapter, and the meal we enjoyed.<\/p>\n
