So lovely, I really love the single red rose. I read an article in Vanity Fair last year about the Gupta brothers toppling your government. I don’t remember the timing of that fiasco, but it made me wonder if it affected your current power situation. Your country is so beautiful, it’s hard to imagine that everything isn’t okay. I do wonder how the wineries near you manage without power.
@louannwarren Not only the Guptas Lou Ann, Our government is totally corrupt and nothing is functioning here. Eskom our power supplier is bankrupt and so is our national airline and post office. Things are just falling apart and getting worse from year to year. The price increases of almost everything is just too awful, so many underprivileged and homeless here now. A real sorry state of affairs :-( @merrelyn All businesses and restaurants have generators Merrelyn, many homes by now too. They are very pricy though and we have been hoping to get away without buying one ;-) @swchappell@rickster549 Thanks, it did after 13 hours ;-) @koalagardens They all have generators so that is not a problem. Re the cold drinks, I was the designated driver so water had to do ;-) @golftragic Stellenbosch golf club Marnie, it is a stunning course with all those beautiful mountains and vineyards around :-)
Gorgeous light ... gorgeous view. So sorry about the economic and electrical problems. We have generators but ours are for the blizzards or thunderstorms that shut down power. Even then, we are on a feeder line and they do try to get power up as soon as possible in those situations so we've never had to rely on the generators. Our water depends on electricity so I get antsy after a few hours without.
