Mary, Little Lamb and Rambo are
taking strain. Woolie winter coats are
fantastic at minus 11 but our weather seems to have decided to skip Spring and
go straight to Summer, and as much as we are all desperate for some rain, I
fear the sheep will have a huge problem should they get wet. They will become so heavy their legs might
disappear… maybe I should turn them into jerseys…
We have a group of ladies here
who have never ridden horses before and there is much laughter and chatter
along the road. After 25 led rides Zazu and the boys are looking a little weary
– in fact Maluti was starting to look mulish and Starlight definitely seemed a
little dimmer!
We are getting additional weight
lifting exercise removing Charlotte, our tortoise, from getting embedded in the
few spring flowers that are out and walking all over the newly shooting
Peonies. She and I are going to come to blows – don’t you just hate it when
someone withdraws when you are having a serious discussion with them!
There is great debate among us as
to whether M is the Dad or the Mom looking after the baby Emu’s – but whoever,
they are fiercely protective. E has been
banished so many times she is now sharing accommodation with Peter – our
vulturine guinea fowl and the ducks in the farmyard. U unfortunately had a
heart attack from the banishment and is no more.
It seems hard to believe that it
is only three months to the New Year and we have a few specials up our sleeves
to ensure that you are able to take a well earned breather, before the run up
to end of year madness. Don’t forget our Spiderman cometh in October from the
10 – 12th to enlighten us about Spiders, bugs, creepy crawlies and
macro photography. There is still place available on the tours in November,
give the girls in the office a call to check dates or email us and we can send
you all the information. Also a reminder that the Cherry Festival takes place
in November.
Our October special is 10 for 10 for 10! The first ten days of
the tenth month, during the school holidays, all kids get a 10% discount !J If you stay for
longer than four nights the whole family gets a 10% discount!
Our monthly draw winner this
month is Jessica Gounden! (Some asked… so what do they win? A two night stay
out of season for two people!) So head
off to the website to enter on www.wyndford.co.za
Team news is that the Smith’s had
a wonderful adventure in the Okavango Delta, Moremi, Victoria Falls and Hwange
(once again… thank goodness for George’s well known driving skills!) Always
wonderful though, to arrive at the Wyndford entrance and realize what a
wonderful place we live in. On our return we have been joined by Keith (seen
here, becoming acquainted with the Rock Rabbit Ramble…) and Michelle Roth. They
certainly had a baptism of fire… fighting fires the first week on staff – we
did warn them that the job description is flexible, unusual and never boring!
We leave you with this delightful
picture of the Jordaan family who celebrated a 10th birthday with seven boys for the weekend….well done
Mom and Dad!!
Greetings from us all, the
Wyndford Family.
