Actually most of them were out in the garden, and only one donkey came into my dining area, and was easily steered out to the garden by one of the staff, and that was before we ate.
I got there early, at The Bush Farmhouse, which has gone through several changes over the years When I moved here in 2007, it was a little farmers market which was owned by folks who soon became friends of mine. It was a bit pricy but local produce was available all year round.
Later owners put a lot of effort into raising various veggies right on the property...and those beds are still active.
Well, the chickens thought this dirt had just the right bugs or worms for them to scratch up.I really enjoyed reading the menu, then asking for definitions of some of the words...this is South African cuisine.
OK, I've already shown you a lot, so let's do other photos tomorrow!
Today's quote:
The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas-covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal, is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be. -Douglas Adams, author (11 Mar 1952-2001)
...my choice is without.
ReplyDeleteA little too farm-like for those sitting outside. But I think the animals were all penned up by the time customers arrived.
DeleteI like those rustic sorts of tables,
ReplyDeleteAnd very comfortable chairs!
DeleteThat menu has my mouth watering. Also, I love the Douglas Adams quote.
ReplyDeleteIt had some lovely surprises. I had not remembered Adams said that!
DeleteThe little donkey is adorable.
ReplyDeleteI thought so too!
DeleteIt surprises me that a restaurant has a pet miniature donkey that sometimes strolls in.
ReplyDeleteLove the quote!
I think she was penned when customers started coming at lunch time.
DeleteNot sure I'd like the animals so close by. Quite a varied menu. Sardines? Picked fish? Duck? What did you have?
ReplyDeleteI had a long wait before my friends could get there, so enjoyed meeting and taking animals photos. They disappeared by the time customers (more than a few) came. I had the interesting beet salad, which was very good, and the anchovy dressing wasn't too salty either!
DeleteThat's nice that the animals can be close to the people, I like that! The miniature donkey is cute.
ReplyDeleteIt was like a petting farm to walk around the vegetable beds...though I didn't pay much attention to the vegetables!!
