I know, I know! now before you go striking me off your subscriber lists, I went to a hen party last weekend. My daughter Gilly is one of the bridesmaids to the daughter of old family friends this Saturday. We went on a hilarious bus journey to the Natal Midlands, a very picturesque area in our province. One of the stops was to the only vineyard in Kwa Zula Natal called Abingdon, which is fast earning quite a reputation in the wine world. We thoroughly enjoyed a wine tasting and a very lovely lunch of mezze type platters.

Then we went candle dipping and the prize for the best candles went to moi and I won the wonderful willies!

Whilst I was very erm…. delighted to be the recipient of something destined to send me to cloud nine I was very envious of one of the other ladies because she won this……

I really coveted the penis pasta, I wanted to post a blog to make the Food24 Editor Caro fall off her chair! *drops lip*
