A Very Helpful Gentleman

Leonard was a star today, 21 January 2022. I wanted to surprise my friend with a visit to a farm in the Franschhoek region and decided to turn in at Babylonstoren. Never been there before, so I felt a little lost. But we found our way to Babel Restaurant where we were told they are fully booked. As we left the building, we saw 3 men talking and we saw a "Golf cart" or 2. So Nella approached the gentlemen and asked if we can get a lift to our vehicle (due to the heat we were struggling on our feet). Leonard told us that the golf carts are usually only for stay-in clients, however he will help us. So as we left, I told him that we had hoped to get a little snack for lunch. He immediately turned the cart around and told us he is taking us to the Greenhouse Restaurant, no need for booking. We obtained a lovely takeaway lunch there. I informed Leonard that we had limited time and he assured us he will see that we are back at our vehicle by 13h45. And believe me, Leonard kept his promise. On our way to the vehicle, I informed him that Nella has undergone repeated heart surgery, and she told him she has a pacemaker, a heart monitor and something else to her heart. No ways, could she walk so far, especially in today's heat. So in a nutshell, had Leonard not assisted us, we would have made our way back to our vehicle and gone home with long faces. Instead, we left the farm with big smiles on our faces and I look forward to visiting Babylonstoren again one day. Thank you Leonard!
