Winter returned to Kamberg Valley this week!

A couple of weeks back I posted saying that it felt like Spring had arrived, well this week I was certainly eating humble pie on that statement!

A huge cold front crossed what seems like the whole of South Africa and we woke up on Thursday morning to these views!
It was extremely stunning, but bitterly cold and there was a lot of rain around in the morning, which meant all the snow had vanished by the afternoon!
As a result of the snow and rain, our TLB work had to be suspended during Thursday, which was disappointing, but it wasn't a major problem. It just means we still have a bit of work for it to do this coming week!

The plus side of the snow and rain was that the blesbok herd have obviously found some new grass shoots peeking up on the areas where we did the fire breaks in July, and they have been feeding a lot at Kamberg Valley Hideaway the past few days!

This week has also seen the progress on the new cottage come on in leaps and bounds! We knew that rain was forecast from Wednesday, so Beaven decided to get the roof on the new cottage on Monday! That also meant that even if it did rain, the builders could carry on with the work on the inside of the cottage. Fortunately (from a building point of view) we were only hampered with rain Wednesday morning, so the painters and tilers were able to push on! Here are some photos showing the cottage as it stands today!
It has been another extremely busy week, but we knew it would be and it feels like we have actually achieved two weeks work in one, so we are edging closer to completion!

We have another hectic week coming up, but the photos next week will show even more impressive progress. I'm looking forward to posting them!

Hope you all have a wonderful week!

Kamberg valley seems like a wonderful place to live in. I've read countless of negative comments about South Africa. However, seeing this made me change my mind. I think that not all of the country looks bad or dangerous as how it's represented. Your pictures clearly prove the opposite of those who hate living in this place.

South Africa is a wonderful country with lots to offer those that live here and those that visit for a holiday. It is a country that gets into your heart and soul and I recommend everyone should visit to see all its wonderful natural beauty, wildlife, friendly people and great weather!
