Product Description
lIn December 2015, I decided I was going to enjoy a stay-at-home holiday. I was simply too exhausted to make arrangements or organise anything – and on top of it all, there were chores that still needed my
attention. And we all know that the new year usually
brings a whole new set of challenges.
Big mistake.
It eventually turned into a long, drawn-out
Christmas break full of workers and paint tins and
endless visits to the hardware store (often unsuccessful
because at that time of the year everything is usually
sold out and it’s a case of “Sorry sir, the suppliers are
closed now…”). In fact, one of the doors in my house
still has an old latch because by the time the end of
the year rolled around again, I still hadn’t had the chance
to buy one.
This year I’ve decided: never again. I’m going to
book a holiday away, send an email to the kennels so
that the dog will be taken care of and apply for leave.
I’m out of here. The chores will have to wait.
Despite what I say, I’m torn. Because I love my home and I enjoy
spending time there. And if the wind doesn’t blow as hard as it has this
past week, it’s still my favourite place on earth (even if it has a door with
an old latch).
In this holiday issue we wanted to go beyond beach homes. I, for one,
have spent a wonderful (and hot as hell) summer vacation in the
Cederberg and when one of our regular contributors came to show us
photos of a beautiful cottage in Suurbraak, it was a done deal – because a
great holiday destination doesn’t have to have a view of the sea, does it?
The Suurbraak cottage is proof of this. Simple yet stylish, with a view of
the mountains and a bubbling stream close by. As long as you and your
family are together, that’s half the battle won…
The bus (on page 46) is another story. The Koegelenbergs entered
their “mobile holiday home” into our annual Fix it with Flair competition.
They narrowly missed the Top 5, so what better issue than our January
edition to show you their creative ideas? Read all about Gert and Martie’s
amazing makeover project; it will put a smile on your face.
And then there’s Sedgefield: Linda Evans first approached me about a
feature more than a year ago but there was always a hitch – and just when
we were finally ready to do the shoot, a suspect pool-installer ruined their
swimming pool and garden and we had to postpone yet again. At last
we’re featuring Linda and Almarie’s home; it might be their retirement
abode but they’re having a whale of a time down there at the coast. It’s as
if they’re on a permanent holiday…
