💛 In summer I always enjoy an early-evening walk on our smallholding. No need to get in my car to find nature, I have 8.5ha right here to explore, hoping to see the Barn Owl or some Guinea fowl, but always enjoying the Bluegum trees and beautiful grasses and wild flowers along the way.

The beauty of Tarlton


One of the (many) things I miss since moving to the coast over 2 years ago, is the sight of the beautiful sweeping grasslands of Tarlton. There is nothing more beautiful than seeing fields of grass swaying in the wind at sunset, as if to the tune of some pied piper calling them to follow him.

Statement - there is no grass in KwaZulu Natal! Fact - no, really, there are no tall grasses in Natal! Even the lawn grass can not really lay claim to being grass. Being used to the thick, lush greenness of Kikuyu lawns in Gauteng, the coastal garden lawns are a pitiful sight to behold. (Sorry I do not have a pic of a coastal garden lawn, lawns are few and far between).
