I have to attend Summer School at the beautiful University of Cape Town today and I am expecting five people for lunch. I have prepared a spinach tart and a mushroom and bacon quiche.

Every year, I look forward to the two weeks of Summer School. It’s a twenty-minute drive from Kalk Bay. Last night as part of the Charlie Chaplin course we’re doing at Summer School, we viewed a film called The Gold Rush. It was made in 1925. It was funny and gripping. The lecture afterwards was also entertaining.
