Saturday 2 May 2009 - The damage caused in the 'bakkie incident', unfortunately was not just a little scrape, a full panel behind the drivers door was concaved with scratches so deep the paint was literally chipping off from the metal. Will no one coming forward with a confession, Bulelwa has no alternative to have her Inspector Clouseau hat on. Stood in reception Bulelwa starts to tell me the whole debacle, as I guiltily turn an unequivocal shade far deeper than that of the Pink Panther.
This is so difficult and to make matters worse I am spending the day with my friend Bulelwa, I can't tell her, this needs to come from Asanda. Much to my relief, the subject is changed and bizarrely turns all magical, since we are on our way to discover that fairies do exist, or at least they do in Swellendam.
Entering the mystical garden through a gated hole in shrubbery, we were welcomed into the Faerie Sanctuary and asked to turn cellphones off and not to take photographs, I assume so not to disturb the delicate inhabitants! I could see the magic of this place through the eyes of the children, but there was no lustre of fairy dust for me.
