may be a link to generate a message in your default e-mail program. The
e-mail by default also contains a cc to us. You can delete the
contents of the cc box, but many people don't: We appreciate that because it
gives us feedback on how the site is working. You might be getting this

In April to date we have been cc'd on 30 emails from the web site:
Enquires went to Abinas Ethnic Hair Salon, Avinia's Beauty Spa, Bub Hub,
Buccleuch KwikSpar, Clear Solutions Optometrists, Colony Pharmacy, Drs Sam
Lewis, Sumien Moore, and Lindie Gouws, Europa Art Shoes, Luxury Curtain and
Décor, Paws Pantry, Rivonia Tailors, Virgin Active Sandton, and Woolworths

Some of the centres that probably got business as a result: Grayston

Rivonia Oriental City, The Bridge Shopping Centre, The Colony (Craighall),
The Wedge, Woodmead Retail Park, and Woodmead Value Mart.
Thank you for copying us in! It is fascinating to see
what questions people ask; we've made additions to the site in
some cases to save you having to ask in the future: Opening
times and menus are a favourite.

Restaurant Review by Judith Back to top
***** Morningside 011, Ground Floor, The Wedge Shopping Centre
This is a new take on the Baron franchise. Situated at the far right hand
side, entrance is easy for abled and disabled, That said, not for a drug-fuzzy
person just out of hospital. Two strong guys ported me in with ease! I
reached the table on crutches.
Talk really spacious and a great environment - good linen and beautiful
glasses, plus great staff and management. They have an extensive menu and also a
lunchtime special one. We ordered from the latter - liver and onions for two! I
chose Brampton Wines Sauvignon Blanc, which arrived in a very generous
carafe, and my partner strawberry juice.
The food was bliss, especially after a week of hospital food, which should be
banned! In all honesty, though it was simply beautiful. I managed to finish
everything with real enjoyment. Service was excellent and another big accolade -
I was helped out to the car once more, as I was still too unsteady on the
crutches to manage the slope.
All in all, well worth another visit!
PS Don't break your foot! It's the second worst break I've managed.

Green Space Walk in Sandown, Sunday 6 May, 8:00 to 11:45
Beryl Porter will be leading this lovely walk in an area where only the
locals are aware of the large interconnecting greenspaces. We will visit
Innesfree Park, walk along the Sandspruit to Ernest Ullmann Centre and go to a
viewpoint with wide views of the city and Sandton. COST: Free
Parking: Beryl has arranged for VML South Africa to allow us to park on their
property which is boomed and fenced. Address: 2-4 Harris Street, Strathavon
(opposite Innesfree Park)
After our walk we will go for brunch/lunch to nearby Katy's Palace, an amazing
eclectic restaurant at 6 Desmond Street in Kramerville. Adjoining the restaurant
is a large wonderful store with the most attractive items - just to browse and
enjoy, if you wish.
Details on Meetup or
email Beryl Porter.
