Being avid gardeners, they both helped me very skilfully to beautify my ‘garden’ with new plants and some trimming of bushes and existing plants which were in dire need of a green thumb, which eludes me entirely. So those two earned their keep in Green Point Palace for more than just one week. And as it so happens, we had long days and long evenings sitting around and chatting. Eventually, on Saturday the 18th October, the day had come to welcome many good friends from Sydney and from around Australia in Green Point for the second go at turning 60.
Around 20 people made it a very memorable day. I did all the catering myself and tried to somehow replicate the lunch menu which we had enjoyed in Kampala a few months earlier.
The guests from overseas and interstate had the first right on all the available accommodation and the house proved itself again by offering 8 people one or several nights a bed to put their head to rest. And no makeshift here. Everyone of them slept in a real bed. The practical thing in all this is the fact that I do have a bed in my office, as well as a little bathroom and shower. that means that all other amenities can be made available to my guests, which makes it comfortable and relaxing for the host as well as those hosted.
