“Big sky.” Athena, my wife, would say sometimes looking up at the vastness above.
“Wow, where did you get that from?” I’d asked the first time she said it.
“I felt it the first time I came to Africa. There’s just so much space and when you look out at the landscape it just seems to go on and on and on to the horizon and up into an endless sky.”
Big sky.
What a profound thing to say. This captures the feelings which we set out to achieve in Horizon's Gourmet Picnics.
It's a true story about Athena's (my wife) and my business just outside Rosetta in the Midlands of KZN, South Africa. Follows the finding of the property (it wasn't what we had in mind...), setting up the concept for the Gourmet Picnic business, naming the place 'Horizons' (which says 'as far as you can see' and sends a message 'to stretch our guests expectations'). We sold as a going concern.
Every dish had a 'WOW' factor. Starting with glasses of free sherry on arrival. We walked them out to the expansive views, sat them on specially made bean bags or stylish chairs at a selection of tables. Next, we offered towellettes (heated in winter and chilled in summer) to rinse their hands with. After that, our waitrons offered guests some snacky eats. We would have kept their drinks flowing. Then, the sumptuous picnic will arrive packed in refined picnic basket containing half a dozen or so imaginative dishes. After eating, the guests were welcome to sleep off their full bellies until they had a refreshed appetite for dessert. We found that Horizons was very attractive to couples that were getting engaged.
