Having worked in manufacturing processes over the years (albeit accounting) I always found going through the processes interesting. Sugar process in the 80's where I worked, when they first started testing flavoured syrup, stripping cane down and extracting the sugar, a big plant close to home.
During the 90's and early this century (sounds strange) worked in paper making, the liquid to bind different papers together print, notes for banks etc. Also managed a trip through a couple of paper mills, so yes I found this super interesting.
Oh my God! I want to visit here so much. The house is awesome! We have a stove like this at our country house here in Russia. I love these. Showing these pics to my wife to convince her on a vacation in the Southern Hemisphere. ;)
My Gran and one of my Aunt's had a coal/wood fire in their homes, feels like yesterday. Going into a home with cherished old furniture to fit into the time frame of the farmstead was a treat, next edition still to come on this small area. By the time we are finished, you will have a well planned map to KwaZulu-Natal. :)
Unfortunately I did not get to swim, no time to lay around a pool. Explored their beautiful garden that was lush and full of birds, thanks for visiting @philnewton

This looks like a wonderfully relaxing place to stay. The details of the macadamia nut processing are fascinating. The photos are awesome!

Far From The Madding Crowd, one of my fave books :) I went to Oribi Gorge as a kid, def need to make a trip there again!
Well worth while to make a long weekend of it @sweetpea very close to all activities.
Living in this kind of environment eases the stress city life offers.It is very peaceful, away from pollution and no traffic. Upvoted!
Yes @rubelynmacion anywhere out of cities is the life for me, never been fond of feeling cooped up.

Your stories are either beautiful or fascinating!
