Nestled in the Knorhoek Valley, surrounded by the Simosberg mountains lies Quion Rock. The estate lies on 200 hectares of fertile land overflowing with vineyards. The Gaiduk family began restoring the estate in 2012 opting to build in a modern architectural style which works beautifully.
Their reds, merlot, shiraz and cabernet sauvignon are sourced from vines on the estate whilst their whites are from their farm in Aughulus where the sea breeze keeps the climate cooler.

Quoin Rock and their fantastic sommelier SK really impressed. They also offer a fine dining restaurant and cellar tour during the week.

We stopped by at Muizenberg beach where my guests checked-in on a charity they fund that encourages surfing to childre to overcome their mental health challenges. After a warmup they tried their hand at surfing..
Beautiful Muizenberg has so much more of a South African energy to it, more diverse full of locals with great surf stores, coffee shops and restaurants along the beachfront..

I thought that after 26 years of stunt roles making movies, my life would now be full of fun-filled days touring Cape town or keeping executives safe when in town on business. My old passion of making movies does occasionally present itself with 'open arms' and Im never one to say no.. Great time spent shooting a cash van robbery for the series "Spinners" ..

That Springbok win..

When the stars align and its destiny

The following is something that cant be scripted - it was destined to be...

SA beat FRA by 1
SA beat ENG by 1
SA beat NZ by 1
This gives you 111.

If you add the numbers 29-28, 16-15, and 12-11 together, then it gives you 111.

It was also Ref Wayne Barnes last test match he refereed and it was testmatch # 111

In cricket 111 is referred to as a Nelson also a name that reminds us of our past president that inspired the 95 Boks - Nelson Mandela

Let’s break down the word “springbok” letter by letter and assign each letter a number based on its position in the alphabet:

s = 19
p = 16
r = 18
i = 9
n = 14
g = 7
b = 2
o = 15
k = 11

Now, let’s add the numbers together:

19 + 16 + 18 + 9 + 14 + 7 + 2 + 15 + 11 = 111

The total sum of the numbers representing the word “springbok” is 111.

What a wonderful coincidence or destiny that was meant for the springboks an incredible event in History...
