Hello friends, I just need to get this off my back. When it gets hot I go underground. I spoke to my mate today who is a plum farmer in the beautifull Franschhoek Valley. You won't belive what the temperature hit there yesterday - 49 degrees!!! For heavens sake we are a million miles south, this...
Life is a funny old thing. Too often we sit back and just get used to what we know and it takes a little bit of out the box thinking to change the things that need to change. Often we don’t see the need for change but when your finger is on the pulse you hopefully pick it up quite quickly. So,...
Well, what a quick year it has been and we are already back where the year starts – the Cape Town Tens! Next weekend, the 5 th - 7 th of Feb is the second Cape Town Tens tournament and it is all happening at Hamilton’s Rugby Club and the New World Cup Stadium – does it have a name?...
A quiz off! Unheard of. That's what happened on Tuesday night at my little country pub in The Noordhoek Farm Village. Bob, Ron, Boerie and another campaigner cleaned up in an epic dual for second place, which according to the lads was first place because first place was axed due to an oversubscrition...
Hello All Noordhoek Beach Wow, summer has hit Cape Town and Noordhoek with vengeance! Can't believe it was just the other day we were complaining about rain. Bring it back and I also want some swell please. My muddy little hole is getting a bit dry! Was going through some sites and found these great...

Check out the action on www.capetowhideaways.com , photo's up and they are pretty impressive crayfish, quite nice...
By: Ron Rutland On: 30 November 2009 - www.bobsforgood.com Well Saturday at the Toad here in Noordhoek was a helluva way to end MOvember - the Cape Town chapter of MOvember, aka MOBro Cape Town , turned out in full force to celebrate the end of MOvember and prove that an increasing age number doesn’t...
Hi All It has been a while. Got a new beer garden bar going at the Toad, I am expecting a new addition to my family and basically trying to take it easy before the year ends and things go manic in Cape Town and more importantly The Noordhoek Farm Village and the crayfish season started and I needed to...
Hello friends Ah the time has come. I have been in training for this event and I am proud to introduce my civilised look for this great month. It is going to be a load of fun. I am a refined gentleman, I hope you like the effort I have gone too - it's been hard staying out of the lime light for so...
I am not used to watching my boys go down. Two in a row, but what great fight backs both of them have been. Last Week they deserved a draw but a rooky error of not fielding a ref in such a close encounter definitely worked against them. But Vikings don't cry over spilt milk and they get up and go...
