Winter in Knysna

Well, here we are in the middle of winter!  Spring just around the corner and away we go.

Three days ago it started to rain and did it rain!  Cats and dogs and then some.   From a water point of view Hallelujah!   We certainly need it but Oh! how it rained.  Unfortunately, it affected a lot of people’s houses which is sad, with water running in etc etc.     What amazes me in Knysna, is that the local people whom the water affects the most, still come to work on time with a smile on their face.    How amazing is that!    How many of us would be able to do that.    Not many, I would assume.    How grateful we are to all of these people for carrying on their work in such a cheerful manner.    We are a very luck community indeed

A couple of weeks ago we had the Knysna Oyster festival a 10 day event and that was good for the town along with the Marathon.

Town  is quieter now, but still lots of Guests about.      We are busy at Candlewood Lodge and for that we are thankful.   Yesterday, we went shopping for our Lodge, and the Heavens opened and what a deluge we had.     It has been raining for two days and nights and still the rains came.     We were cold and wet, when we got home.     However, our large Fruit and Veg have started making incredible soups.      We thought we would try some.   Butternut, wonderful.     Some warm bread rolls, hot  soup on such a cold wet day, went down extremely well.  Well done Fruit and Veg!

Today, it is SUNNY AGAIN.  hurray for the sun say I.     A beautiful blue sky here in sunny Knysna once more.    Join us at Candlewood Lodge for a very deal until the end of September.

Would love to see you all here in Beautiful Knysna    

Hope you all have a wonderful week
