Two of my favorite things:
crackers from and the luxurious 240g Shea Butter soap from in Underberg. I had to tell myself, "Walk away" – Debs has got some exquisite stock in! Underberg is less than 10kms from our self-catering cottage in Himeville. We're also close to Sani Pass, the perfect escape into nature. πŸŒΏπŸ›

We need rain [sob], and in the run-up to spring, we're focusing on Operation Dahlia. Replanting and making "blocks" in the beds, so hopefully, they flower in abundance in our Himeville garden. 🌸 We also added a bird bath, and Gift added this walkway. We decided this is the path Maggie runs so planting is futile, we'll give her a highway

We love recycling ♻️ here at Glen Islay Cottage in Himeville! Our new wall, nestled under the oak tree, is made from red bricks we purchased from a lady who was moving, and rocks from our old soak pit that we had to rebuild. Next week, we’ll be adding the remaining rocks to our garden as we prepare for spring growth 🌱. The wooden chairs and table will be varnished before the rains

With our Himeville self-catering cottage nestled in a serene acre garden, the importance of space and nature can't be overstated.

Our new seating area will soon be shaded by a canopy of lush green leaves. Can’t wait for you to experience it!πŸƒπŸ€πŸŒΏ

I love ♻️ recycling and this wheel rim, found 4 years ago in our then overgrown garden, has been behind the garage until just over a week ago when I decided I had a use and a home for it. Poor Gift gave me that "I hope this is the last time I'm having to move this" look 😱🀣 But here we have it - the extra wood pile storage for our Himeville cottage.

Looking out of our bathroom window, I spied Gift, the gardener, planting some frost-resistant plants and helping him is little Omphile, who, if you haven't met her, is Gladness's daughter. She's almost 2 and adds the song to our day🎢. Too precious! Our poor garden is desolate from the frost and no rain. After all our hard work😭
