The Cradle

So close to home and yet so rarely visited.

I went to a wedding in The Cradle of Humankind a few weekends ago (at The Cradle Restaurant and Game Reserve).  So lovely! It’s beautiful out there, and (if you avoid the disaster that is Fourways) an easy 40 minute drive from Sandton.

I’m also in love with the Nirox Sculpture Park.  I’d like a little house on one of the patches of lawn there.  The pictures below were taken at the Jazz in the Cradle event last year – a lovely day.

In the same area, there’s Happy Horse Farm (I mean really, who wouldn’t want to visit happy horses?).  That’ll be my next spot to visit in the coming weeks.
