Per's Swellendam Diary

Hi Everybody!  It's me, Per, the best cat at The Hideaway in Swellendam.  The things I have been up to in Swellendam on the Garden Route are just too a-maz-ing - I am so excited I can scarcely tell you.  There has been so much going on around Swellendam that I have been rushed off my feet; exhausted; not getting my usual 20 hours sleep on the sofa!  And it is all because MY STAFF have had so many nice things said about my little 5 star B&B in the Overberg that we have won a PRIZE (and I got my photo in the newspaper!  Well! Fancy that!).  I'm not sure what a prize is, being a cat ..... (I'm not sure what a newspaper is either really .....)

It all started when my staff drove off very early one morning and Oum Adin came in to sit with me.  Tannie Sharon came in later and stayed the night.  Well, I wasn't going to sleep in my room when my staff were away, was I?  It was all cold and lonely so I dived into Tannie's bed and hid under the covers (I'm not allowed to do that when my staff are around, but I don't think Tannie knew because I stayed there all night!! Lovely and warm!!)

Then my staff came home and there was lots of excitement because they brought this funny blue thing back which you can see at the top of the page.  I don't know what it is all about, being a cat, but everyone was very happy and I had to sit still in my staff's arms while the lady from the newspapers pointed this thing at me.  And then I found out that my staff had been to a party .... without me!  Is there no justice? .....Look at them enjoying themselves ..  Honestly!  You just can't get the staff these days ... 

Well, I'm off for a catnap.....  Keep in touch....
