Absolutely, why not !!

I would think that it has been many many years since Zebra were last seen in Cape Town.

Rondebosch.......I can but dream...if only my dad's grandmother had not squandered her 17 Cape Town properties she had purchased with her inheritance, I might have been in with a sniff :ohmy: It was Adrians research at the Cape Archives that uncovered this tale of woe :blush: My dad needless to say was in a state of shock when he saw that, sadly he never knew her.

Well back to reality and the coal mine!

Well, he was at Oxford when he had that idea, as he said "what a dream" but, dreamers are important, they make things happen that others just dismiss! :(
I always liked his maxim diplomacy!
So you have not thought about buying Groote Schuur then?
Kind regards Frank

Rondebosch would be very you I think, you could hold meetings there, I'd certainly be very tempted to visit, drinks on the terrace with Mr H and Adrian, now that would be nice!

Brian,

Don't stress.

We still have a good life here in the Colony of Natal. Besides, we play far better rugby than those lads in the Cape, which reminds me, I need to drop David Grant a line!! :) :)

Speak Soon

Why not indeed?
Gentlemen, there is just one tiny flaw in my grandiose plan, money, in particular, the lack of having enough of it to purchase Groote Schuur, I am sure they would sell to us if the price was right, CJ himself once said he could square the pope if he used the right currency!

Talking rugby I believe the Boks are now in the UK, Stuart saw them leaving from OR Tambo last night.

Yes, there are pro's and cons about both places.

Frank,

Not to worry, we can always make do with one of other many splendid properties dotted around the Cape Peninsula.

We don't want to attract to much attention upon ourselves !!

Brian, quite correct, they are already in Wales, a good test to look forward to on Saturday.
