THE TORR HOTEL

Trish is accustomed to catering to large groups so insists we stay on a couple of days despite two more friends arriving from London. Suzy (whom we have met and hosted in Calgary) and her friend Sue are here for a couple of weeks. We all enjoy a merry time together for a couple of days, enjoying beach walks, surf not so strong so Trish swims with her friend Cathy, we merely paddle still. It is much busier.
  Before they arrived Ted and I went off on a winery tour trip. Finding the most popular one closed and too busy at lunch, we nevertheless have a lovely lunch in the vines at lesser known Newstead with good wines, especially rose for lunch. This is a nation of foodies and it seems impossible to go to a winery and by be impressed with what they chefs rustle up, sometimes miles from anywhere but with all locally sourced ingredients. Ted improves on his Braai skills BBQing supper for us. Being impressed with the huge prawns (cooked head on mostly) I find many of them are actually imported from Argentina, just across the ocean!
