Maybe it’s just me, but the years seem to be going by faster and faster….here we are at March already when it seems that we just arrived in 2010! Let me start by suggesting a new direction… as posted on our blog this morning, I have twice traveled the road to Joburg and back in […]

Have twice travelled the road to Joburg and back in the last week via Reitz, Frankfort and Villiers it is our suggestion that the road via Warden is a better option at present. The potholes on the section from Villiers to Frankfort have claimed many tyres and we would only recommend should you wish to […]

If you thought you were weary at the end of last year you were not alone…. We were beginning to think Father Christmas had forgotten us, but after a long search we discovered him asleep on the couch in the lounge! Fortunately all his gifts were safe and duly distributed to very happy children and […]

Well, here we are nearly to Christmas and the end of 2009. Our November newsletter got sidelined with the general rush, Cherry festival and jam making.

Guests driving up to us from Natal encountered thick snow on van […]

Greetings once again from a chilly Wyndford! The most wonderful scenes here yesterday with dark rain clouds and a beautiful full double rainbow over Wyndford. Unfortunately the pot of gold did not land on us – we were once again bridesmaids and not the bride at the AA Awards ceremony in Durban yesterday! We have […]

Greetings from a chilly Wyndford! Yes, our temperatures have taken a dive and the last two weeks we have had 5 degree mornings and cooler evenings. Beautiful sunny days are the norm and the countryside is in full Autumn uniform. Tall Poplar trees are all stunningly yellow and our Liquid Amber trees are in all […]
