Keep reading for May madness…
It seems that we’re waving goodbye to summer and are already feeling the freshness of Autumn blowing in. The cosmos is gloriously painting the countryside pink and the leaves are drizzling down from the trees. Also, starting to poke their noses out of the ground are the spring bulbs, the wood store is stocked and […]
Well, half way through February means that love is in the air…
Although, why only one day, in one month of the year? Love is something that we should show all the time, every day. Yes, there are different loves – and each person is different. Be a little creative this year, red roses and chocolates are so normal. Have breakfast in bed, yes I know it’s […]
Rainbows and Dreams…
While there are many unknowns going into 2023, we can be sure of some things! The sun continues to rise, if a horse can hurt itself it will – I interrupt this scintillating chat, do deal with a Spitter on the Stoep and clean out Callie’s eye… The tortoise will always be slow, the weather […]
✨It’s that magical time of the year✨!

Don’t you just love this time of year
… (well, unless you are facing exams, I guess) but there is a fresh brightness in all the colours around. The trees are bright green, the sky brighter blue and it might be because we are so used the browns and golds of winter, that the banksia’s look brighter yellow! The sweetpeas continue their […]
Glorious Spring…
What a busy few days it has been! We are in the middle of our week for homeschoolers, where children can explore the farm, learn on the job with lots of chatting among likeminded parents. Yesterday was the livestock’s moment. Catching and holding the lambs and sheep while they were inoculated and getting the cows […]
Mid-Winter Madness… from Wyndford
Mid-Winter madness… With winter in full swing, the trees stand nude with their beautiful forms raised up to the blue skies and you get to see the bones of the trees that are usually hidden by leaves. Magical sunsets and sunrises (yes I did see one!) are the order of the day, making the oranges […]

Junes Joys… from Wyndford
The mountains are calling… How does the sound of Hot chocolate or coffee arriving at your room in the morning, heralded by a gentle knock and a smiling face, while you pop back into bed and greet the morning snuggled up, hands wrapped round a warm mug, maybe with a good book or the kids […]
