Pretty and Bizarre

Couldn't resist posting a couple of pics of this place.
We found it on the way home from Plett.
A restaurant in a nursery -
so the setting was the most stunning blaze of colour.
Another thing:
Bizarre happening!
During one of our (many) coffee drinking sessions in Plett,
DF (= dear friend) and I heard emergency sirens going off.
We wondered what all the fuss could be about.
Turns out an angler had hooked a ragged tooth shark and a teenager, thinking it was dead, had grabbed it by the tail.
Not a good idea.
Seriously.
He was badly bitten and needed many stitches but he will be ok.
Thank God.
Moral of the story?
Don't grab any shark by the tail.
EVER

Wow, your pictures of this beautiful place are fabulous! I would love to spend a few relaxing days there. You look great, by the way!

And, yes, grabbing a shark by the tail doesn't sound like a smart idea, ever. :-)

I didn't think that was a moral you needed to learn - I'd assume never grab a shark by the tail.
