New Year’s Eve 2013/2014
New Year’s Eve Concert at Nederburg Wine Estate
Last night, we ushered in 2014 on a spectacular note with beautiful music beneath the starry sky at Nederburg Wine Estate in Paarl. The South-African singer Lira and the Cape Philharmonic Orchestra entertained hundreds of people gathered together on the lawn in front of the manor house with picnic baskets for this festive event. Tenor Makudupanyane Senaoana and soprano Janelle Visagie also performed. The concert started at 21:30 and ended just after the countdown to the New Year, during which the crowd was cheering and burning starlights. Indeed a festive event. My good friend, Woolworths, helped us to pack our picnic basket and with a good glass of Nederburg wine, we enjoyed a wonderful evening.
In the first few minutes of 2014 Deon and I decided that we would strive to make this year the best ever. We recently watched the movie The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel in which we loved the following quotes by Evelyn Greenslade: The only real failure is the failure to try, and the measure of success is how we cope with the disappointment, as we all must; as well as The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing. So, this year, whatever happens, it is important to take risks, to try, to live.
