Sylvias Loc: North Yorkshire England

……at L’Auberge Chanteclair, Franschhoek in South Africa. When we travel overseas from the UK we prefer to rent houses and stay at the occasional hotel. We usually don’t return to the same accommodation twice, however we always return for three nights to this beautiful converted farm house where they have a few rooms and some cottage style accommodations. There is a small vineyard at the rear and they grow their own grapes and produce over 1,000 bottles per year. Bob took a phone shot of the wine glass and bottle of their wine. Oops it looks like the wall is tumbling down!

They serve the most beautiful breakfasts with a choice to start with continental and a cooked one if desired. There are also lovely platters with a mix of fresh fruits. A quick shot of the continental with my phone.

We stopped on the way through the village for a shot of the pretty Dutch Reformed Church that was built in 1847 and fully restored in 1968.

We love the peace and quiet but mostly the ever changing view of the clouds throughout the day.

Hope you enjoy our little piece of heaven.

Canon 650D, 18-55mm lens. 2 phone shots.

I find all of your work refreshing. I’d say you are fortunate to live in a country where all houses are NOT beige and stucco !!! Thanks as always Sylvia.🤓
