Animals truly are interwoven in our lives - yes we are dog friendly - have dog beds so they don’t sleep on the beds or furniture - plenty walks and swims and fresh air to enjoy with your furry friends

I refrain from taking him to the beach for a walk because it disrupts your vacation; you prohibit me from renting a house if I have a dog, and he's not allowed on urban public transport. Nevertheless, I can bring him to sift through rubble after an earthquake, search for you in the forest when you're lost in the mountains without a map or GPS, join you under the snow for forbidden off-piste adventures, and even accompany you in the water despite the red flag when posted signs advise against swimming. You gladly welcome him when you need his support, but not when it's inconvenient for you. After all….” it is just a dog”….
Think again, people. Dogs are better than most humans, they’re kinder, more loyal, love unconditionally and appreciate you no matter whether you deserve it or not. ❤️

Happy New year everyone- hydrangeas looking wonderful. Open picture to appreciate.

"You are replaceable at your job. Your money is just digits on a screen. Your favorite sport team does not care about you. Your car is an overpriced bunch of parts. Your family is the most important thing in your life. Make sure to prioritize it that way."

Have a fabulous week✨!

For Birders pleasure - Nyanga surrounds are a special habitat! Something for everyone in the fresh mountain air.

Springtime has arrived at Far and Wide! If you're a keen birder, head down and enjoy an adventure through the Afro-Montane woodlands of wild Nyanga where you'll spot many birds as well as stunning flora and fauna.

Very special stop spot on the road to Nyanga! Order a coffee, pizza and enjoy the view, walk around the circular herb garden - breath in the fresh air.
Always a lovely clean Loo to use!!

Where would we be without the one and only Noel?
Every day is pure bliss for this extraordinary man. 75 years old....walks to work every day and arrives before anyone else with a huge smile on his face.
A man from humble and difficult beginnings, a veteran of ZESA, and in many ways an example for everyone - he sees the simple beauty in the world before anything else. Have a great Monday! 🌱💐
