Charming hostess, house and gorgeous gardens.
Ursula prepared our breakfast.
Wonderful home baked bread, pates, cheese, meat and jams.
We ate at Rossbach restaurant last night. Ursula used to run it and cooked the food for thirty years.
I posted photos of the garden yesterday. This monkey puzzle tree reminded me of those on the Picton foreshore. Joseph banks took samples of the Chilean Pine to England where it later became known as the
Monkey Puzzle tree.
