There has been perhaps too much beaching following my stay at the Cape Grace Hotel and the kind people at Le Quartier Français in Franschhoek quite rightly assumed that I might need a good rest, special pampering and fabulous cuisine.

A long weekend in their finest suite was proposed and, I’m the first to admit admit, I caved in – I couldn’t say no. I’ve always plutzed for Franschhoek and my Mother talks about Le Quartier Français like it’s her very own residence. Seriously, she pushes it a bit.

In fact, if I recall, she throws around SUCH a familiar vibe, that she doesn’t even mention the “Français” part of the the name. Like a nickname of sorts.

“So we popped into Le Quartier yesterday,” she’ll muse to her friends as they climb into another bottle of Veuve and rattle their tennis bracelets with delight.

Hysterical!

I must say, I’ve been dying to go, ever since I read about this year being their 20th birthday and the ridiculous Just For You offers they’re giving at the moment. You might want to check that out. Seriously, one doesn’t need to travel overseas to experience luxurious pampering and spectacular food. Click here to find out more.

Now, I know what you’re thinking..

How the hell do I get the “c” to look like a “ç” when I type? I’m glad you asked, because I asked the Le Quartier Français angels the same thing and apparently anyone can do it, as long as you are mentally strong.

Here it is:

Hi Seth

Ç or ç shortcut instructions (incredibly nifty to have around):

Windows = CTRL + , (COMMA) + C or c and Mac = ALT + C or c.

See you on Thursday evening,

Nikki.

Excellent work Nikki Noo!

Now you too can type out funny letters, in the comfort of your own home!

I need to prepare myself mentally and physically for the weekend and I’m sure we’ll chat more about it later when I get there.

Kisses.
