What can I say. The sun was at it again. Up bright and early with the brilliant sunshine today. Mind, there was a cold touch in the air but one never minds because there is the wonderful sunshine to welcome you as you arise from your bed. You feel like hurrying up because you do not want to miss any part of this glorious place called Knysna in the Western Cape, South Africa. At Candlewood Lodge, we are always busy in the mornings as our Guests arrive for Breakfast. Of course, our standards are exceptionally high as we are a Five Star Lodge (not our prices though) and I want everything to be perfect. Our Guests love their breakfasts with the beautifully laid tables.

The culinary version of the musical chairs game continues in the Back Bay of Boston, as a French restaurant on Newbury Street has closed, and a small local chain of Italian eateries is moving its original restaurant into the space. According to the now-closed restaurant’s website, Bouchee has shut its doors on Newbury (between Dartmouth and Exeter Streets) after about four years in business, and Papa Razzi will soon be opening in the space. (Papa Razzi’s original location at the corner of Newbury and Dartmouth Streets will become home to a Mexican restaurant called Lolita Cocina & Tequila Bar.) The Grub Street Boston site mentions that Bouchee may be looking at reopening in a new space in the Back Bay, though nothing specific has been confirmed yet
