Love The Hoed® Titbits

  Wine tasting

  Harvest House hosted a wonderful wine tasting evening organised by Vinimark. What a fabulous turnout of people, and all experienced a variety of wines from numerous vineyards. Delicious snacks were supplied by Harvest House, and all patrons could be seen enjoying themselves, learning about the wines and many went on to purchase the wines of their choice. From Alto, Bosman, Ernie Els, Muratie and more – there were some 15 vintners on ‘display’ with 66 wines on offer.

  The event really got ‘going’ at about 16:00 and it is true to say that there were some stragglers, wallowing in the eruption of flavours and nose, right through to the bitter end! Bound by our privacy rules we are sadly not allowed to mention names.

  All in all, a fantastic event, great venue, great food and wonderful hospitality (not to mention the superb wines on offer). Well done to all. We look forward to the next event, in ‘antici ……. pation’!

 

Lead story comment

  It has come to our attention as we were going to print that in a progressive development to the lead story, there was a combined operation conducted by SAPS and Farmwatch to the illegal mining sites where they had had limited interaction with the miners. There is no doubt that the mining is illegal and causing great harm to the environment and the Blyde River.

At a place called Lone Tree in the central Kalahari, a band of San hunters picked a young kudu bull out of the herd and started running it down. Louis Liebenberg, then a young South African researcher with no distance-running background, wasn’t meant to be part of that – the hunters told him the heat made the chase too dangerous for someone untrained. He talked his way into staying anyway.

Social Capital

I have watched countless breeding herds of African elephant consisting of a senior cow, elder females and younger cows, all the way down to juveniles of both sexes – the young males are banished from their natal herd around their early teens – yet I’m ever fascinated by the quality of synchronised attention this matriarchal sisterhood constantly pay to one another.
