We had an expanded presence at Rocking the Daisies this year. Instead of selling only wine we decided to run a restaurant stall as well. Making full use of our marketing department’s newest member, Jonno Proudfoot (pictured alongside), who trained and worked as a chef (most notably at Cape Town’s highly rated Ginja), we kept revellers well-fuelled over the weekend.

Several of the dishes required wokking – scrambled eggs for breakfast, as well as two different pasta dishes. Jonno got an unexpected break from wokking late on Saturday night, when he noticed someone sneaking into the tent through the back entrance and grabbing a bottle of Daisy Darling. Without regard for his own safety he dashed after the person, and, launching himself into a huge dive, brought down the perpetrator with a scything tackle that would have done Schalk Burger proud.

It was at this point that he discovered that he’d taken down a woman, which immediately had him apologising, and feeling somewhat less proud of his dive tackle.
