January news…

A month into 2016 already, and we trust that it is treating you well! After a long and very dry summer, we have had some wonderful soaking rains, for which we are very grateful (one could almost hear the garden sigh…).  The countryside is now deliciously green and vibrant in growth although many roses and trees succumbed to sunburn.

February, traditionally the month for love, sees us welcome you with a free bottle of Sparkling Wine over the weekend of the 12th – 14th February 2016.  Book now and surprise your other half!
It has been a very mellow month on the farm, no new anyones…. Although the sheep are looking rather rounder than usual so maybe some lambs are imminent!  Ponty (our stallion) fancied a change of colour and after a roll in the red mud emerged as a redhead instead of a blonde.  A fair bit of brushing ensued to get him back to normal. Charlotte and Perry (our tortoises) continue their feisty relationship with the occasional shell banging and circuits around the house.

On the Wyndford family side, we enjoyed having Cameron help us over Christmas and enjoyed his youthful enthusiasm (our food bill has decreased since his return home!!) and we look forward to having a new young chef Jennifer, join us as Celvin moves to do more outside activities.
There is a trip planned up to Katse Dam in Lesotho, Clarens and more from the 6th to 11thMarch 2016. So, if this is on your bucket list, give the office a call now on 058-2230274 to find out more. Advance notice …. The Spiderman returns! 21st– 23rd October – a wonderful weekend of rock turning, scorpion hunting, spiders and butterflies with Peter Webb, a great one for the kids.
