Last weekend we went for another outing which had been long on my to-do list. We finally made it to Mo and Rose at Soekershof, just 7 km from Robertson, to enjoy a lazy Sunday lunch.

The Cape Town winter weather was absolutely gorgeous. We were ''balming'' in the sunshine while tucking into hot and cold antipasti, Beef Fillet, Salmon Trout and of course I ALWAYS have to have desert. It simply is a magical place.

A mere 2 hour drive from Cape Town and you will find yourself walking slower, talking slower and just being slower in general. The gardens are a delight and Rosie could crawl around and stretch her little legs in the thick grass. Pure bliss!

About the blogger
Jessy Lipperts moved from her home in the Netherlands to Cape Town in 2003.
She says: I built my life in South Africa around my passions which include: travel, connecting & empowering people & writing. My current projects include a boutique travel company (www.extraordinary-travel.com) where I create travel itineraries and am an associate with a global venue finding service (www.helmsbriscoe.com) for conferences & meetings. I regularly freelance as a trainer for emerging entrepreneurs in Tourism. As an InterNations Ambassador, I’m playing an active role in growing the Cape Town community (www.internations.org). Together with 2 other ambassadors we organize monthly events connecting guests from over 25 countries. On a personal level, I’m extremely excited to say that I’ve recently adopted a little girl. I welcomed little Rosie into my life on the 5th of December 2012.
