On Saturday the 24th of August 30 lucky peeps can feast on Neil Jewell’s superb food, our orgasmic bubblies and wines (let those knees go weak), Fromages de France’s sensational and sometimes stinky (in a good way) French cheeses ; and coffee by the easy-on-the-eyes Trebodore Coffee Roasters.

I managed to pull a few strings and get my hands on a preview of the Facking Fubulous Feast’s menu (pretty sure I’m going to get a big smack for that one … Ooo). I don’t want to ruin all the surprises but Neil is going to be putting a classic spin on: ham, egg and chips – AMAzing; groaning platters to share – be still my beating heart; and some kind of sweet treat – swoon.

Lodine – our cheese mavin – is whipping out all the big boys. What’s more is that they’ve all been perfectly paired with wine. OMG, get-out-of-here!

Then Michael – yet another good looking coffee roaster (what is it with coffee and hot men with stubble?) – is set to delight with some suitably impressive coffee method and fab coffee.

Boom. /drops mike/ /walks off stage/.

Violets are blue

If you get a bottle of our Pink

That’s a Valentine’s day promise you can take to the Lurve Bank … Ooo!

Our Miss Molly received the following fan mail:

Dear Miss Molly,

I am Faraud and my family enjoy your wines very much.

They even have a group of friends who would want to buy it regularly but it is so hard to get here in Québec Canada…
They have to use all kind of resources and friendly channel to get it here from Vancouver BC.  yes, across the country  ! That shows you how much they are willing to do to enjoy it.

Please miss Molly, can you help in trying to suggest an agent who would be willing to work with us in Québec, Canada or even maybe in Ontario, Canada ? Ontario is much closer than British Colombia to have it transported over here  .
Any help from you human family / business partners would be much appreciated.

Best wishes to you and your family for the upcoming New Year!

Faraud

Our Molly still personally responds to all her fanmail and sent the following back to Faraud:

Dear Faraud,

Thank you for getting hold of me.

Firstly I must apologise for my human’s late response. She is finding Facebook’s new page layout somewhat perplexing but that still does not excuse her neglecting my fanmail. She knows how important my fans are to me and I have reprimanded her for her poor behaviour. Hopefully it will not happen again. But you and I both know how humans can be … I think it has to do with the fact that they stubbornly refuse to walk on all-fours.

I have also requested that my humans’ get in contact with some possible agents in Québec Canada or Ontario. They will keep you in the loop regarding their progress.

A friendly and heartfelt lick,

Miss Molly.

P.S. You look very dapper in your photo. I love the bow-tie.

P.P.S. How did you train your humans to behave so well? My human’s are lovely but I am starting to believe that they are untrainable!

Don’t you just love Tina and Neil? Magic.

Maude – who is presently the size of a large rat – spends her days adventuring. Given half a chance she’s out patrolling the farm with Lucy and the King of Môreson, our other Miniature Dachshund, Snoop-la-Poop. Lucy has already taught her how to:

• dig holes in the garden
• chase Hadedas off the lawn
• tackle tennis balls at full pace.

We’re having to keep a close eye on this one, she’s got trouble written all over that cute face. Yeah,

she is naughty with a capital N.

Every year Bread & Wine’s Christmas Lunch books up well in advance. If you’d like to ensure that you don’t miss out on any of the tastiness please get hold of Tina ASAP. You can pop her a mail at breadandwine@moreson.co.za or give her a call on (021)876 3692.

P.S. You can download a copy of this year’s menu here.

They’ll be the fourth generation of Friedman to call Môreson their home. And – might I add - what a fabulous place to call home.

When they’re a little older, a little more settled and possibly a little better looking (although I’m sure they’ll be born with model-like good-looks) we’ll post a few pictures introducing them to the world.

I am planning on having a superb day … I hope you do too!
