Every time I or any of my sisters go to Golden Gate we make a pilgrimage to the van Reenen family graveyard. In our youth we spent many an Easter weekend at Lusthof, farm of Oom Percy and Aunt Lily de la Harpe. Aunt Lily and Aunt Rosie, who were both van Reenens, are buried here.

A red-wing starling came looking for handouts.
