Suddenly they emerged!!.. after much frantic work behind the scenes our two Spa Therapists Elzette and Tanya were ready to greet the Spring. As I write this they are setting out on a marketing mission around the Guest Houses, Hotel, Adventure Centre, Supermarket and Backpackers in our Village.
With very special discounts and prizes to be won there is definitely an air of excitement. One would expect to see a pink rabbit or, at the very least, a baby lamb cavorting (or should one say gambolling?) on the lawns. Wafting over the Armagh, from the car-park to the guest rooms, the fragrance of jasmine heralds the arrival of spring. Johan is so excited he is having a hair-cut today!
Our organic vegetable grower, David, is swinging by later on his bicycle to deliver our fresh broccoli and cauliflower, Estelle is holding a party to celebrate the full moon, International Year of Astronomy and the lining up for the first time in 14 years of Saturn's rings, and to cap it all 400 years since the discovery of the telescope.
If that were not enough, our roads in the Storms River Village are being upgraded with beautiful paving blocks. AND lastly there are whispers of an Elvis Festival to be hosted by our local Inn keeper Jan (of the immaculate Cadillacs) in April next year.
Isn't it just great to be alive!
May your Spring also be bright and happy and full of iridescent colours.
