We began our Adventure Trip with a months stay at Glenshieling in May 2017. It has been great to return. The entire area filled with vivid memories. Benjie, the camp Labrador, who was a pup in 2017 has emphasised the passing of time in a way no other could. His grizzled jowls telling many a story of chasing things through the forest, getting bitten by a snake and other mishaps through the years. He stood stoically as our grumbling Chicko renewed their acquaintance.

The owner, Julie, welcomed us with a smile and an unflappable manner. Our early arrival on Friday in the green and peaceful park did not prepare us for the sound of children’s laughter that was to surround us all weekend.

Trips to Piggly Wiggly, the Bierfassl Restaurant, Shuttleworth Weavers and many other small stalls yielded a treasure trove of delights for all the senses. (The fact that restaurants have two menus – one for normal trade and one for ‘load shedding’ is a sad indictment to our struggling economy)

The highlight of our day was a visit to Chulamoya Chimes where we purchased the Elven Whispers – beautifully tuned chimes that we hope will add a touch of magic to our home. It is worth packing a picnic basket with locally purchased trout pate, cheeses and wines to enjoy in their garden surrounded by pockets of sound to delight the ear and the soul.
