Saturday 3 March provides the perfect opportunity for families, friends and groups to explore the charming Fragrance Route, a circular country meander close to Great Brak. Since first launched in 2015 this annual celebration has grown by leaps and bounds – this year there are 10 venues to visit, all open until 16h00 or later (except for the museum).

Travel at leisure while enjoying vistas of fynbos-covered countryside and majestic mountains. Great for game spotting, bird watching and photography; you can also cycle or visit by motor bike.

Book in advance for birding at Brothers Coffee Roastery, the Hakuna Matata “Hap & Stap”, and the Kobus Halliday Car Museum tour. There are foodie and art demonstrations, and also music at two spots. Check the different opening times and details of participating venues, and plan your trip accordingly!

Make it a PROE safari – stop to buy local products and experience a variety of tastes along the way. At game farm Hakuna Matata and at Die Kraal in Friemersheim you can picnic under the trees – buy food at their stalls, and bring along your own picnic blanket, wine and glasses.

Best to arrive early with a cooler bag for goodies bought along the way, a container with water to keep flowers fresh, and an umbrella in case of rain. Toilets are available at almost all venues and, in case of bad weather, indoor facilities as well.

Please note: CASH ONLY, no credit cards are accepted at Fest stalls.

SHWESHWE STOP @ FRIEMERSHEIM: View the exciting range of shweshwe articles – PROE bags, aprons, doggy bandanas, Munchbags and more – now made by The Friemersheim Sewing Group and Kraal Kreations at Die Kraal. This recently launched project aims to bring job opportunities close to home for a number of local women.

FRAGRANCE FEST TOUR:

Personalized tours available on Saturday 3 March at R350 p.p. including transport, eight visiting points, a drive in an open vehicle, coffee and pancake, a R20 p.p. donation towards saving the Great Brak River Museum, and free tasting.

Contact Sharon, 072 652 7829 (minimum of 12 people required).

KENNISGEWING VAN ‘N SPESIALE INWONERS/BEWAREA VERGADERING TE DANABAAI 14 MAART 2018

„’n Spesiale vergadering“ is deur die tydelike Inwoners/Bewareakomitee van Danabaai geroep vir 14 Maart 2018 om 18:00 in die Danabaai Gemeenskapsaal.

Die enigste punt op die Agenda is om ‚n wettige komitee vir die Danabaai Inwoners/Bewarea te kies vir die volgende jaar.

Hierdie komitee sal herbevestig word by die Algemene Jaarvergadering, watter datum vasgestel sal word by hierdie Spesiale Vergadering.

Inwoners word versoek om asseblief skriftelike versoeke vir die Spesale Vergadering in te handig of per epos na Twana Roets by twana@jkprop.co.za te stuur, nie later as MAANDAG 26 Februarie 2018.

Wie van ons mammas en vrouens het nog nie gehoor: “Ek is vandag so lus vir my ma se kos, souskluitjies, frikkadelle in druiwe blare, tamatiebredie of of of…..”

Niks voer jou so vinnig terug en laat jou na jou jongdae verlang, soos die bekende reuke en smake van jou ma se kos nie.

Daar is net iets aan ‘n ma se kos. Dit hoef nie “grand” kos te wees nie, net die gewone alledaagse kos met liefde voorgesit.

So land ek na ‘n paar maande wat ek my dogter laas gesien het in Dubai.
Skaars was ons by die huis of sy vra: “Sal ma nie asseblief vir my ‘n ‘peanut’ en stroop broodjie maak, soos net ma kan maak nie?”
Wil jy glo, van alles soek sy ‘n ‘peanut’ en stroop broodjie !
Kan die versoek ook dalk ‘n bedekte skimp wees dat sy na haar ma se bord gekookte kos daar in die verte verlang?
Wat ookal, so spesiaal was dit, dat ek net daar die kosmaak vir die res van my kuier oorgeneem het. Moet sê, nie sy of Jaco het my eers probeer keer of teëgestribbel nie.

Almal is deesdae so gesondheisbewus, en dit is reg so, of dit is kitskos, ons kinders weet nie altyd van ouma se lekker bederf kos nie. Vleis, rys, aartappels, stowe boontjies en soet patats/pampoen om enkele van die lekkertes te noem.

Maar …so tussen al die gesonde kos, word daar darem ook gereeld plek gemaak vir ‘n bord lekker boerekos.
Ons mag mos maar, want…ma se kos is nie bloot net kos nie, dis ‘n voorreg en vertel ‘n storie van haar liefde vir haar gesin.
