EMBRACING THE CHANGING TIMES AND SEASONS

Just like that, the Easter holiday has come and gone. We’re well into Autumn now, my favourite season. While the cooler days have brought some relief after the swelteringly hot days of not so long ago, the thought of the looming colder and darker (thanks to Eskom) days ahead, don’t exactly fill one with much hope. Yet, as you will see by paging through this issue of the Stanford Spectator, we have much to be grateful for.

Our little heritage village got some wonderful coverage recently all thanks to the Absa Cape Epic Cycle Race (pg 3). The repair and restoration of our oldest church, St Thomas, is currently underway after yet another successful fundraising campaign (pg 19). Oh, and I’ve recently learnt a new word: ‘locavore’ thanks to the new and exciting harvest food club initiative (pg 9)!

For our nature and environmental lovers, we have a feel good story on the recent release of a rather large ragged-tooth shark (pg15) by the Two Oceans Aquarium. Remember little Trixie, the Jack Russel? Well, she’s alive and well and living her best life (pg 18). And that’s not all.

Until next time, happy reading!
