Everyone loves a story....

And everyone has a story......

I read today you must blog... even if it feels like you don't know what to say...

So here goes.

I read an interesting blog the other day about a girl telling her story - that's all - and then asking for money at the end!  Interesting.

I promote artists and the clients want a story from me about the artists.  So I have heard many interesting stories.

Someone (that doesn't want to be mentioned) got inspiration from the Bill Clinton/ Monica saga.
Monica started a handbag business with her payout.  I hope her name is Monica.  It is late and I am tired.
I don't feel like google-ing to make sure.  But you all know what I mean.

My own story is so strange that you will have to wait for the book to appear in the fiction section of the library!

That is all for now.

Brenthurst Gardens

Hallo.  I visited Brenthurst Gardens yesterday.  I am going to share a few things with you that I found interesting.  Firstly they make a point of telling you that  Miss Joan Pim was the first female landscaper in South Africa.  I like. Another thing that struck me, was that the changes made to the rose garden and other areas was made for water wise reasons.  Makes you wonder about the past?  The one thing that I liked the most (appart from the malbury juice) was the fact that every section of the garden is set around a waterfeature or a statue.  And the story of the statue.  They all have names.  This is the way every garden should be.  We don't all need 5 meter bronze statues, but a  piece of wood or something of interest can do the trick too.  I must commend the family on supporting local artists.  Another highlight was the tea from a Lindsay Scott porcelin cup!  The Ardmore teapot was great too.
