April must be the best time of year to visit little towns that surround Cape Town - but, it's really important to first strike up a good bargain with those who decide the weather. It's an absolute pleasure driving around the countryside when the temperature is moderate, wind is at bay, and the skies are blue - it's not quite as much fun to do so on cold, wet and windy days (like it's been today, I might add)!
I took this photo from the steps of De Oude Drostdy, the old magistrate's building on the outskirts of Tulbagh. Imagine waking up to this every morning!
