As autumn settles gently over the Cape Winelands, Stellenbosch transforms into a golden-hued escape—where vineyard rows glow amber, the air turns crisp, and long lunches stretch lazily into the afternoon. Easter in Stellenbosch is not just a weekend; it’s a feeling. A time for togetherness, indulgence, and creating those slow, meaningful moments that linger long […] The post Easter in Stellenbosch appeared first on Wine in the Cape .

Over Easter, Kay and Darcy came to stay with me a couple of nights. On Good Friday we went out to my favourite Italian restaurant where I always order the same thing - Razza or, as we English say, skate wing. You never see that fish in supermarkets and can only get it in fishmongers. Few restaurants ever have it on their menu either, so it is real treat for me to have it in that restaurant. On Easter Saturday, we took the train to Rochester in Kent. Although not far from where I live in South London (about 25 miles) I have never actually been there, so decided it was now or never.

I find it hard to chew on that side and sought out a local specialist dentist who does implants. He has glowing reviews on his website. He took a CT scan of my mouth and did measurements and declared that he didn't feel confident doing an implant, as there is not enough bone density to insert an implant that would otherwise come into contact with a nerve within millimetres of it. Even if he injected artificial bone to augment the bone density, he still feels the implant would fail and cause me 18-months of painful treatment that would fail. He is THE MAN to do implants and even lectures on the subject at University College London, so, if he says it is not possible, then I believe him. He could have just taken my money and done a bad job, but was at least honest. He suggested a bridge would solve the problem more than adequately, so I am starting that treatment on
