Summer beckons and with it, the need to dust our feathers – or more appropriately in this case, beautify the town Square in Riebeek Kasteel, in the heart of the Riebeek Valley. Ashley Stone, owner of 1 Royal Street Guesthouse, led a group of volunteers to make this space a happy place. In the words of Luther Burbank: “Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food, and medicine for the soul.”

Rarely has one seen two people embrace life with such gusto. In their eighties, Liz and Rob, after a short holiday visit to the Riebeek Valley, sold up their farm in White River and settled in Riebeek Kasteel. A prolific painter, Liz immediately opened her home gallery to the public and regularly offers Sip ‘n Paint classes. She works with speed, often completing more than one painting a day – ‘I have no time to waste’, she winks. Rob saw an opportunity to start Probus, short for Professional and Business retirees, and hosts a meeting once a month. Now there is an example to follow! Liz McQueen Studio: 072 194 5343.

Did you know? Genl Jan Christaan Smuts, born on the farm Bovenplaas near Riebeek West, was a keen botanist. Until he went to school at the age of 12, Smuts lived the life of a farm boy, taking his share in the work of the farm, learning from nature, and developing a life-long love of the land. When asked by an American botanist why he, a general, should be an authority on grasses, Smuts replied, “But my dear lady, I am only a general in my spare time.” The Smuts Museum, situated on the PPC Cement Factory, is open to public on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 10:00 to 16:30.
