ABERDEEN NEWS — Members of the Aberdeen Garden Club enjoyed a wonderful end-of-year picnic last Thursday on the aptly-named farm Uitkyk.

On a previous visit to the farm, it was raining- a blessing for the farmers, but a disappointment for the visitors who were unable to see the view after which the farm was named. On Thursday, however, the skies were clear, and the view from Aberdeen to the mountains bordering the flats of an enormous escarpment could be fully appreciated.

The picnic area was set up on the beautifully manicured garden in the shade of the magnificent trees and hosts Jannie and Christelle Nel went out of their way to make the guests feel welcome.

There was a wonderful variety of food for this Michelin star Karoo picnic, including delicious home-made products such as pickles, jams, and bread, and as always when people “bring and share”, there was far too much to eat!
