March news...

Walking past Belsteen Manor this afternoon, one picks your way through the many bicycles of all shapes, sizes and colours lying on the lawns. Then this afternoon, delighted shrieks as the bike brigade roar up and down the driveway with echoes of ‘there’s Charlotte’ as they zoom past the tortoise slowly ambling across the grass.
Our new additions to the Wyndford family generate oooh’s and aaah’s of their own!  Molly and Sprocket, two brown border collie pups joined us two weeks ago and have rapidly wiggled and squirmed their way into the hearts of guests and staff alike.  Dozer is a little put out but getting better and Dodge, our Husky, has a new lease on life as the big brother.
All those keen birders out there will be interested to know that the large eagle mentioned in the last letter was not a snake eagle but the special European Honey Buzzard!  One, bird we would like to see and hear from is the Piet-my-vrou, especially as he announces the arrival of rain.  We have had some, but would like a little more, although it is still too late for our big old fir tree by the dining room which has died. We are watching the Willow by the pool anxiously as it has also taken strain, but did manage to shade us gently during the braai at the lunchtime. Jumping Castles, swimming and Ice cream cones with friends might change a little with the onset of the early Autumn chill, but then again there are log fires to look forward to!
As our last special was enjoyed, we have decided to spoil you again!!! Families (kids and all) will get a 50% - yes really – discount between the 11th and 15th April 2016.  Book now to avoid disappointment…
To all those who entered the monthly draw… there can only be one winner …and this month it goes to Elna Wijnbeek.  We look forward to welcoming you to Wyndford for your two night stay out of season. 
Head off to the website to enter on www.wyndford.co.za and we will keep you up to date on www.facebook.com/WyndfordHolidayFarm with all the news.

Happy hugs from the Wyndford Team
