Bo La Motte Farm in Franschhoek


At the end of May, we enjoyed a family reunion weekend in Franschhoek, one of the oldest towns in South Africa. Some of us stayed in the four-star historical cottages at Bo La Motte Farm. The main dinner was held at the Owl Cottage, where our family of six slept for the two nights. All of the photos that I'm sharing today were taken on the gorgeous grounds of this wine farm, which is one of the original farms established by the Huguenots in the late 1600's.

also celebrating big birthdays. On the

and family friend. Check out this fun
project that he helped create for a hotel
in Cape Town: The Washing Line.

a book on his partner's work titled,
Nelius Britz - works in glass.
