My Fat FrIeNd Overly large Vicky, who owns a successful book shop in Hampstead, guzzles

comfort food and chocolate to make up for her somewhat boring existence. She good humouredly suffers the slings and arrows of her friend and lodger, the not-so-young Henry, while failing to notice that her other tenant, James, worships her from afar. One day a handsome stranger stumbles into her shop. Tom is on the lookout for travel books as he is on the verge of departing to Iran for a four month working engagement, He strikes up a conversation with Vicky – who seems unable to comprehend that this guy is unperturbed by her weight. The two completely hit it off and agree to keep in touch while Tom is away and resume where they left matters when Tom returns. Loving nothing more than to meddle in Vicky’s affairs, Henry suggests to her that she should use the interval in the budding romance to lose the pounds and knock Tom’s socks off when he returns to London. So Vicky resolves – as she has so often in the past – to lose weight once and for all to snare the man of her dreams. With the help of her friends, she begins the diet and exercise regime that believes is the way to Tom’s heart. Pieter Toerien Studio Theatre at Montecasino, Fourways. Book at Computicket.

CHrIS CHaMeleoN - vernuwend, prolifiek en eindeloos kreatief, het

bekend geraak in Suid-Afrika, asook oorsee, as ‘n musikale fenomeen. Met ‘n eiesoortige styl, bekoorlike verhoogpersoonlikheid en ‘n reputasie om gehore met sy vier-oktaafstem en stemtoertjies te betower, het sy uit-sonderlike talent het hom uitstekende resensies en vele toekennings besorg oor die afgelope agt jaar. Toekennings sluit twee Suid-Afrikaanse Musiek-toekennings (SAMAs) en ‘n Erepenning van die SA Akademie vir Wetenskap en Kuns in. Tarentaalteater, Rexpad, Oorsaak, Modderfontein, Rustenburg.

FraNK opperMaN “HoNd” In die splin-ternuwe eenmanstuk “HOND” vertolk Frank Opperman die rol van ’n man wat besig is om afskeid te neem van sy hond wat te oud en siek is om veel langer te leef. Moet hy die hond laat uitsit, of nie? Die man se huwelik is boonop besig om te wankel. Nes Opperman se vorige eenmanstukke, “Die uwe Pottie Potgieter”, “Rooikaart” en “Die Klaagliedere van ds. Tienie Benade”,

het Dana Snyman weer die teks geskryf. Die stuk is ’n bietjie hartseer en ’n bietjie snaaks, nes die lewe self. Hoekom word ’n mens so lief vir ’n hond? Omtrent almal wat naby aan honde lewe, sê dieselfde ding: ’n Hond aanvaar jou vir wie jy is, onvoorwaardelik. Miskien is die lewe so eenvoudig soos dit, ja: ’n Hond jok nie oor die liefde nie.

ELvIS BLUE - KAAL - Vir die eerste keer op die planke, ‘n oorspronklike

produksie geskryf deur Elvis Blue self vir gehore om ‘n ander kant van hierdie gewilde kunstenaar en liedjieskrywer te sien. Op die rug van ‘n jaar waarin Elvis ‘n Ghoema rekord vir die meeste toekennings (sewe in totaal!) ooit deur ‘n kunstenaar behaal het, waar hy ‘n nuwe Engelse album die lig laat sien het, waar sy “Êrens in die middel van Nêrens toer” selfs voor reklame begin uitverkoop het en waar hy vir sy vierde SAMA vir sy werk bekroon is, wend Elvis hom nou tot die verhoog om ‘n produksie bymekaar te sit wat ‘n rou, eerlike kant van hom sal deel.Sy gewildheid strook met sy vermoë om aanklank te vind by oud en jonk, Engels en Afrikaans en om reg oor hierdie twee genres kwaliteit musiek te maak.Al is sy werk reeds die afgelope vyf jaar alombekend, sal gehore in hierdie produksie ‘n versameling van oud en nuwe liedere hoor soos nog nooit tevore nie. Die musiek word vertolk deur agt briljante musikante. Kry kaartjies by Computicket en kom luister na die stories, aangrypende staaltjies, en die oorsprong van sy liedere en kom ervaar ‘n eg Suid Afrikaanse Elvis Blue, KAAL.Atterburyteater h/v Lynnwoodweg en Daventrystraat, Lynnwood, Preto-ria. 012 471 1700 vir meer inligting.

READ GUIDE TO TREES INTRODUCED INTO SOUTHERN AFRICASouthern Africa is home to more than 2 000 introduced (not indigenous) trees. These non-native species are encountered daily and form a familiar part of our urban landscapes, growing successfully in parks, gardens, along roadsides, and in other open spaces. This guide features nearly 600 of the most common and familiar of these and, using the same model of identi� cation as Field Guide to Trees of Southern Africa, facilitates ID based on leaf and stem attributes. The book provides the country of origin for each species and o� ers key information on cultivation and

uses. Each entry is supported by colour images that depict key features, and a shaded map that shows the plant’s cold tolerance (where the species can grow).An essential guide for landscapers and gardeners as well as tree enthusiasts who will struggle to � nd these trees in their guides to indigenous trees.The authors are both experienced plant specialists. Hugh Glen worked as a scientist at the Botanical Research Institute (now SANBI) for 36 years and is a member of the IUBS Commission for the Nomenclature of Cultivated Plants. Braam van Wyk is a professor in the Department of Plant Science at the University of Pretoria and a plant taxonomist. (Penguin RandomHouse Struik)

LUISTER DIE KIND WORD AL JONGERMeer as vyftig jaar na haar selfdood gryp Ingrid Jonker steeds verbeeldings aan en ontdek geslag na geslag haar besondere skatkis gedigte. Chris Chameleon se verwerkings van haar bekendste gedigte het die weg gebaan vir ander musikante en hierdie dubbelalbum. Wat hierdie projek egter anders maak as projekte soos dié van Chris, is die verwerkings wat in ‘n wye verskeidenheid van genres geskied: akoesties, pop, rock, elektronies, metal, en meer. Vir die projek, wat onder leiding van Ingrid se dogter, Simone, en Paul Blom van KOBUS-faam saamgestel is, het verskeie alternatiewe name in die musiekbedryf 36 van Ingrid se bekendste gedigte, in Afrikaans sowel as Engels, getoonset. Anton Goosen, Gert Vlok Nel, Inge Beckmann, Kalahari Surfers, Somerfaan, Jim Neversink, Beeskraal, Jennifer Ferguson en Victor Wolf (beter bekend Riku Lätti) is maar enkele van die groot name wat gehoor kan word. Die projek word buiten vir die musikale waarde ook as ‘n manier beskou om Jonker se legende, woorde, taal, geskiedenis, en kultuur te bewaar.

watch / kyk My FathER’S waRDis nie dikwels dat Suid-Afrikaanse flieks tweetalig is nie, maar My Father’s War, met dialoog in Afrikaans en Engels, slaag daarin om die twee tale suksesvol te kombineer in ‘n geheel wat mooi vloei. In dié drama val die fokus op die gebroke verhouding tussen ’n pa en sy rebelse tienerseun. Die tema van ‘n gebroke verhouding met dié van die Grensoorlog word hiermee gekombineer. Droomtonele is geskep en oorbrug die gaping, selfs al het die oorlog feitlik dertig jaar gelede plaasgevind. Die rolprent speel in 2003 af en die 19-jarige Dap Smit en sy pa, Dawid, ’n veteraan van die Grensoorlog, stamp voortdurend koppe. Die mans stem oor niks saam nie en daar is klaarblyklik geen hoop op versoening tussen hulle nie. Soos dikwels in sulke huise word die vrou en ma, Carina in die middel van hul epiese worsteling vasgevang en worstel sy om die vrede te probeer bewaar en nie kant te kies nie. Dan kry Dap ’n reeks drome waarin hy ’n gevegsoldaat tydens die Grensoorlog in die 1980’s is. Daar ontmoet hy sy pa op sy ouderdom, en hierdie drome verander Dap se persepsie – en lewe – heeltemal. Daar is nie omdraaikans nie. Maar hoe lyk die pad vorentoe? Die fliek sal aanklank vind by ‘n wye gehoor, maar ook by elkeen wat deur die oorlog geraak is; die soldate, hul vroue en meisies, mans, kinders en ouers. Dit roep herinneringe op, help om spoke te verdryf en hopelik om kykers met meer begrip vir die gevolge van oorlog te gee – selfs diegene wat niks met die oorlog te doen gehad het nie. Die rolverdeling sluit weereens groot name in – Stian Bam, Erica Wessels en Edwin van der Walt vertolk die drie hoofrolle. Ander akteurs wat ook te sien is, sluit in Neels Claasen, Hannes Muller, Fumini Shulubana, Vian Singleton en David Rees.

lEES Vlyt-Vlyt VERkOOP VINNIG UIt - 40 MaklIkEPROJEktE VIR SkOOlMaRktEMenige besige ouer sit gereeld hande in die hare met die kwartaallikse entrepreneursdag, terwyl die kinders opgewonde uitsien na die geleentheid om ‘n geldjie te maak. Nuwe idees vir produkte wat ‘n kind self of saam met jou kan maak, nie te duur is om te maak nie en goed sal verkoop, is moeilik. As jy nie nog ‘n pakkie fudge in die oog kan staar nie, sal hierdie boek deur laerskoolonderwyseres, ma van drie en geesdriftige kunsvlytaanhanger Thana Nel die dinkwerk aansienlik vergemaklik. Die skrywer het navorsing onder graad 3 tot 7 leerlinge op markdae gedoen. Van haar belangrikste bevindings is dat meisies daarvan hou om mooi goedjies en geskenkies te koop; terwyl seuntjies wil speel, hetsy dit met ’n mannetjie of ’n speelgoedwapen is. Aangesien herwinning Thana na aan die hart lê, is daar baie idees in die boek daaroor. So leer kinders van kleins af dat ’n skynbaar nuttelose item weer lewe kan kry en dat ’n mens geld daaruit kan maak, terwyl hulle terselfdertyd pret het. (Lapa)

lIStEN cINEMaThis fifteenth studio album by Italian classical tenor and international superstar, Andrea Bocelli, has been eagerly awaited by fans and critics alike and is his first studio recording in two years. As the title suggests, the album features renditions of classic film soundtracks and scores and celebrates the great musical scores that have mesmerised cinemagoers and music lovers for many decades. Cinema features a collection of movie songs etched in the culture and hearts of several generations. There are the timeless, epic theme songs from films such as Doctor Zhivago, Love Story, The Godfather, Life is Beautiful, Gladiator and Breakfast at Tiffany’s, to name a few, as well as popular songs from stage musicals that have been immortalised on the silver screen, such as West Side Story and Evita. Musical legends including David Foster, Humberto Gatica and Tony Renis collaborated for this album. Bocelli said of Cinema: “With this album I’m fulfilling a wish that I’ve harboured for decades. I’ve never made a secret of my dream of bringing to life a recording project associated with soundtracks, as I truly believe that it’s an exceptional artistic treasure trove.”

plan to host ‘Spartan racing’, which is similar to the popular Warrior races. I am also taking on clients for personal training again. I am passionate about what I do and cannot imagine doing anything else. It is who I am.”

What motivates her? “I have learned

not to look at others for my happiness or motivation. I motivate myself by thinking about the outcome and results. I think about how good I feel when I exercise and follow a healthy and

“I obtained a BSc degree in Human Movement from the Potchefstroom University and then went to the University

of Pretoria to study for an honours degree in Sport Science. At the end of my honours year I started working as a personal trainer at a local gym in town, and opened the � rst CrossFit centre here a few years ago,” she says.

Last year Helouise was a semi-� nalist in the Mrs South Africa pageant, and as a student she also competed in and won a few titles. “I was very shy when I was younger and winning a title at varsity was good for my self-esteem. Just because you train and work in � tness doesn’t mean you need to look like a slob. It is important to look after yourself, be well groomed and yes, you may wear lipstick in the gym!” she says laughing.

She admits that she was very disappointed when she didn’t make it to the � nals of the Mrs SA pageant, but looking back, she has gained other insights. “A competition like Mrs SA forces you to do a lot of soul searching. You need to dig deep into your inner self and realise that appearance is but a drop in the ocean. I have grown a lot over the past year and know now that sometimes the destination is not where we think it should be, and sometimes it is for the best.”

Helouise doubts whether she would enter another pageant in future. “I think it is a phase of my life that is over. It is very time consuming and where I am now in my life and career, time is precious. I would rather spend that time with my two boys.”

She has quite a few plans still to unpack from her gym bag. “I have just opened a new CrossFit branch on the other side of the dam and an obstacle course is being built there where we

“I motivate myself by thinking about

good I feel when I exercise and follow a

Growing up on a farm with two brothers, Helouise Strauss of Hartbeespoort was always an out-doorsy and sporty girl. Since starting cross-country running in grade two, this owner of a local

Helouise’s health how-to’s:

• A change in lifestyle means a change in the way you think!• Stop waiting for Monday. The best time to start is here and now.• Make an appointment with yourself. Pencil your exercise time in as part of your daily routine.• Get a trainer who will be willing to walk the road with you; who will motivate and inspire you. Choose someone who � ts in with your personality and lifestyle. • Find an eating plan that works for you. It should help you make

the right choices and one you will be able to follow for the rest of your life.• Be patient. You didn’t get this way in a day or a week. Don’t expect miracles and remember, it gets easier after week three if you bite the bullet.• Chuck the scale. Weight is in� uenced by so many factors; you will feel it in your clothes and friends will tell you.• Change your focus. Remember that this body must still be there for you in old age. Start working now for a disease-free and able body later in life.

balanced diet, and how I love running around with my two boys and being a good example to them. And when I am feeling low, I remember that I am a perfect creation and thank God for the ability to do what I do.”

Helouise dreams of working with women and young girls. “Not only to teach them about having a healthy body, but also a healthy mind, soul and spirit. I know there is a signi� cant purpose and plan for my life. I am doing courses and regularly attend seminars to help me grow spiritually. I believe if you plant your roots deep and have a good foundation, you will always have a home in the shade,” she concludes.

Op 63 lyk Kallie Knoetze baie goed. Hy is gesond, bly fiks met gholf, die fletsblou oë glinster nog

en daar is ‘n rustigheid wat van tevredenheid met sy lewe getuig. Hy het die afgelope 20+ jaar ook in ‘n vernuftige sakerman ontluik met sy groenteverwerkingsonderneming wat aan restaurante, spyseniers en staatsdepartemente lewer.

Hy en sy vrou, Elize, werk nou saam vanaf hul plaas in De Wildt waar die padstalletjie ‘Die Bek se Plek’ ‘n landmerk langs die R511 geword het, en waar Kallie een van sy seuns se ‘baie spesiale’ biltong volgens ‘n ‘geheime resep’, verkoop.

“Noudat ek nie meer baas is in die huis nie, gaan dit baie goed met my. Ek moes my vrou, Elize, 40 jaar gelede, toe ons getroud

iets het gebeur en ek het net geweet daar is ‘n God daar bo. Dit is vir my baie belangrik.’

En die hoogtepunt in sy lewe? ‘n Mens verwag hy gaan ‘n boksgeveg noem, maar sy antwoord is ‘n verrassing. “My en my gesin se kuier by President Mandela. Ons het saam met hom by die Uniegebou geëet. Ek onthou nog hy het gevra of ek iets wil drink. Ek dog toe ek

kan seker nie alkohol voor die president drink nie en vra vir ‘n Coke. Maar toe hy sê hy gaan vir hom Rosé skink, toe bied ek dadelik aan om saam met hom te drink,” lag hy.

“Dit was ‘n onvergeetlike kuier. Ons het oor boks, Muhammed Ali

en kinders gesels. Hy was so ‘n intelligente mens.”

Oor Suid-Afrika is hy positief. “Dit is ‘n lekker land, maar die verkeerde mense lei die land in die afgrond in. Wit en swart op straat leef reeds in vrede saam, dit is die skelm en korrupte elemente wat moet verdwyn sodat ons almal kan voortgaan met ons lewens en Suid-Afrika opbou.”

Is daar nog iets wat hy wil bereik? Hy dink ‘n ruk. “Ek wil nie in ‘n kabelkarretjie ry nie, ook nie op ‘n vleigtuig of boot nie. Ek is gelukkig hier op die plaas saam met my vrou, kinders, kleinkinders en my span werkers wat soos ‘n uitgebreide familie is.”

my kinders is vandag die belangrikste dinge in my lewe,” sê Kallie.

Vier jaar gelede het sy wêreld byna in duie gestort toe sy kleinseun, Nuan, toe vier jaar oud, onder Kallie se bakkie op die plaas beland het.

“Ek was besig om agteruit te stoot toe ek ‘n slag hoor. Ek was amper mal. En dit is waar ek die Here werklik ontdek het. Soveel mense het vir ons gebid en

is, reeds baas gemaak het. Dan het dit baie beter met my boksloopbaan en geldsake gegaan,” sê hy ewe ernstig.

“Sy het nog altyd beter geweet wat goed is vir my.”

Deesdae lewe Kallie vir sy uitgebreide gesin en sy kleinkinders. “Ek het so baie van my kinders, Nichol en Kallie Matt, se grootword gemis. Ek was net te besig en ek besef nou eers hoe swaar my arme vrou dit gehad het. Elize moes meestal alleen opsnork. Vandag is ek daaroor spyt en dit is hoekom en nie ‘n oomblik van my kleinkinders se grootword gaan mis nie.”

Sy oë blink as hy van sy vier kleinkinders praat. En hy staan dadelik op om die driejarige Nathan uit sy middagslapie te gaan haal vir ‘n foto. Nathan se spesiale gholfstokke word uitgehaal en die klein knapie wys hoe hy ‘n barshou kan slaan. “Hy is ‘n natural. Ons gaan nog lekker saam speel.”

Kallie is deesdae ook ’n kranige gholfspeler met ’n vier-voorgee.

“Ek was al ‘n een-voorgee. Ek speel net so goed soos Tiger Woods, net nie so gereeld nie. Ek kom net vier keer ’n week op die gholfbaan uit!”

Is gholf nie te rustig vir ‘n voormalige bokser nie? “Nee! Gholf is ‘n vreeslike uitdaging. Boks is baie makliker. Gholf is ‘n sport waar jy nie sommer die geveg wen nie. Ek wil hom ook nie wen nie. Al wedstryd wat ek moet wen is met myself, om te besef wanneer ek nie meer kan nie en vrede daarmee maak.”

Al die kinders en kleinkinders speel saam gholf. “Dit is baie lekker. Enigiets solank hulle net nie boks nie. My hart sal dit nie hou nie,” sê hy.

Kallie was by een boksgeveg van Nichol. “Ek was amper dood. My hart wou gaan staan. Gelukkig het hy boks opgegee.”

Hy sê dit is aan Elize te danke dat hy gholf speel. “Sy het geweet ek sou iets moes doen toe ek ophou boks, en toe koop sy vir my gholfstokke. Ek sê mos sy weet beter as ek wat is goed vir my. Ek luister nou na haar. My vrou, my Here en

Margaret Rose and Angus Manson, with their baby girl Tara and toddler Kai, live an extraordinary life in harmony

with nature on their farm and retreat, called The Garden, in Magaliesburg. The name says it all. It is a place of beauty and tranquillity where one forgets about the outside world and lives as one with nature.

This retreat has been the couple’s dream for the past six years and now they can finally share the gift with others.

Margaret, formerly a management consultant in London and Africa, and Angus, a landscaper by profession, were travelling in India in 2010 when the idea of a retreat got hold of them. “We were disillusioned with development politics and bureaucracy and the idea of a spa cum retreat surfaced. Our first business plan was developed in a small café in Varanasi,” laughs Margaret.

“On our return we resigned from our jobs, bought a Kombi and started searching for land in Magaliesburg that was beautiful and with a tranquil feel that will help our guests unwind and forget the stresses of the city - for a few hours at least. Estate agents told us our expectations were crazy for our

On a lovely farm in the Magaliesburg area a young couple has decided to opt out of the rat race and to create their own piece of paradise they now offer to others to escape to.

budget, but we found the perfect spot immediately,” she says.

“We started with a completely undeveloped plot. We had to set up basic infrastructure like fencing, pathways/roads, solar energy and running water, as well as a place for us to live while we were getting things up and running.”

The couple initially lived in their Kombi and then moved into an old shipping container … “which we have modified as we have gone along, almost entirely with second-hand materials. As the months went by, the development of our ‘eco-house’ became a living experiment in understanding how much we really need to be happy,

what comforts we require, and which we can equally happily live without,” she says.

“From the start, developing The Garden has been an act of service. We developed the retreat lovingly and slowly – it has taken five years – in line with one of our core principles to build it without debt – in order to maintain the freedom to make choices rather than having to pay back the bank. We have simplified our own life, and it is an ongoing process.”

And now finally the couple can share their retreat and haven with others. The Garden offers a breakaway from all things stressful. Nestled in the lovely Magaliesburg valley, The Garden has everything - a river that runs through it, peaceful meditation gardens, a labyrinth, an open air yoga area and a Tea House where one finds food for the body as well.

The simple menu consists of tasty, healthy, vegan dishes, with produce from their own garden and local farms. Creamy chickpea and spinach curry;

Mung bean and coconut casserole; sweet potato and red lentil dahl; roasted vegetables with millet and homemade coriander pesto… are only a few of the deliciously good for you dishes.

“We are also very proud of our special teas, including those grown on our own property – fresh mint, fresh lavender, fresh lemongrass, Egyptian chamomile, ginger and honey, cinnamon and clove, tulsi, green teas and many more. No coffee,” she laughs.

People are surprised to find there are no prices on the menu. “We have elected instead to serve lunch to our guests and make our retreat facilities available based on the time-honoured practice of ‘dana’. Dana is a Pali word meaning

generosity and an ancient practice in Indian, and especially Buddhist traditions. In return our guests can make donations. Giving breeds giving, we believe.”

“A long-held dream of ours has been to build a permanent community

here at The Garden, where we can live sustainably, in harmony with nature, sharing spiritual practice, food, hard work and special moments – while still maintaining everybody’s private, personal space. Our vision is a small community of families, long-stay and short-stay guests and volunteers, with off-grid eco-houses, growing our own food, contributing to the development of The Garden and engaging in community outreach projects. We are beginning to move forward with plans,” she says.

“It now finally feels like the safe space we have envisioned. A place where people are able to share with each other, and to connect with other like-minded individuals. We haven’t always managed to do all this joyfully! But we are now in a position to offer The Garden as our gift, with donations covering costs and going back into further developing The Garden and The Garden Community.”

Light a � re Nothing beats the good old wood � re – not only because of the added � avour, but also because of the atmosphere it creates. When in a hurry, charcoal would

be your best option because it produces coals quickly. Briquettes are also convenient and retain heat longer than charcoal does, resulting in a more consistent and even distribution of heat.

It’s all about the braai

Sunny days and gathering around the braai is as proudly South African as the Royal family is to Great Britain. There is, however, a certain skill behind perfecting the art of cooking over an open � ame. With these easy steps, you too can braai like a boss.

1 Buy only the best meat If you want to braai like a boss you have to be equally fussy about what

you allow on your grill. Quality in this instance more is important than quantity – especially when it comes to grilling the perfect juicy steak. Thicker cut sirloin, rib-eye or rump is top choice. These cuts have a good fat content, which keeps it moist during cooking and guarantees superior � avour. Let your meat sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before you put it on the grill.

2 Tools are key to success A good set of tongs and a braai with a stainless steel, height

adjustable grid are crucial. Other handy tools include silicone basting brushes, metal skewers and a meat thermometer. Once you become the king of braai you might want to invest in a heat resistant braai glove, a wood smoker, rotisserie and even a rustic butcher’s block – even if it’s only for an impressive display.

Savoury and sweet Let your inner adventurer play around with different side dishes – all grilled to perfection on the braai along with your meat. While nothing beats the

traditional cheese and tomato braaibroodjie, corn on the cob, jacket potato in tinfoil, vegetable scewers and roosterkoek all make for wonderful side dishes. The braai is also a gateway to exciting desserts if you dare to experiment.

Setting the braai table Celebrate the outdoors by adding natural décor elements. Think wood, stone and indigenous plants.

Let it be Don’t turn your meat too often. Regular turning results in all the

juices and flavour getting lost. If the temperature is spot on you won’t have to turn it more than twice. Also wait until the last five minutes to add the spices and prevent it from drawing moisture out of the meat and getting lost through the grills.

Temperature rising The right heat is a deal breaker. Don’t be impatient once the fire has been

lit. It will only result in charred, blackened and burnt meat. Check whether the coals are ready by holding your hand above the fire for 10 seconds. If you have to pull your hand away before you reach 10, the coals are too hot. Similarly, if you can comfortably hold your hand over the coals for much longer than the count of 10, there is not enough heat.

Method1. Chop the onion and sauté over a medium heat until soft.2. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and add the spinach, allowing it to wilt. The flour should help absorb the extra liquid from the spinach.3. Crumble in the feta and stir in the cream cheese and nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper.4. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface.5. Add the filling onto half of the pastry, leaving the edges open.6. Fold the pastry and press the edges together to stop any of the ingredients falling out of the sides.7. Place the pie on a braai grid and bake on the coals until the pastry is golden on both sides.

Ross Barret has recently been appointed as Principal of Pecanwood College: High School. He regards this job as a challenge that came along his path when he least expected it, but is extremely excited about this

next chapter of his journey.

Ross Barrett, is a passionate educator. Asked if he would choose the same career again, were he to have the choice, his

answer is unequivocal: “Definitely!”In this way, Ross is impeccably

suited for his job. His parents and grandparents, the perfect role-models, groomed him from an early age to carry on in the business of people.

Ross says that he realised, around the age of 15 that his true passion lay in wanting to learn more. He knew that there was no other field better suited than education.

Ross has been in education for the past 24 years. Within that time he served as a Boarder Housemaster for 7 years and a further 12 years within senior management at St Alban’s College in Pretoria.

He is known for his experience and depth of character that ensures excellence of holistic education for his

students. He firmly believes that schools need to be extensions of their communities, and that an environment needs to be created where all role players combine to create a school that has a holistic approach in education. It is said that staff, parents and the community will benefit from his authentic, honest and candid view on professional relationships. He has a genuine interest in his students, and is always wanting the best for them at all times, in order for them to reach their potential.

As a Mathematics teacher, Ross excels in the classroom. His continuous drive for academic excellence will most certainly benefit the already strong academic programme at Pecanwood College: High School. He says that he is looking forward

to incorporating new technologies in the classroom, but ultimately he is most excited about getting to know his new students, parents and staff.

Ross graduated from the University of Pretoria and completed the Leadership Development Programme at the University of the Witwatersrand. He combines expertise with passion, and looks forward to developing and growing the school by adding value to the dynamic environment.

He moved into the community, and will be living at the West Lake Estate, with his beautiful wife Tracy. Although his children are grown up, the family of four are very excited to be part of the Hartbeespoort community. His charming daughter, Simone (25 years old) is currently working as a physiotherapist in Ballito, while his son Kian (23 years old) is in his fifth year of medicine at the University of Pretoria and busy with his practical blocks.

Ross’s interests also stretches further than just education. He has a passion for both the cultural and sporting fields as well. He enjoys playing squash, swimming, cycling and hockey, as well as the outdoors with an occasional hike and camping expedition. Ross was fortunate enough to climb some of the world’s most picturesque mountains, including Kilimanjaro, Mt. Kenya and Base camp of Everest, which he says he hopes to do again in the not too distant future.

Ross also has a musical ability. He has played many instruments, including the piano, French horn, but his favourite is the saxophone. He believes that music is universal as he believes that it speaks to everyone and there is no expiration date. Communities come together when there is a bit of harmony.

When asked what advice he would like to give the Pecanwood College Community, he said that it would be the words of Corinthians 13. This chapter does not only speak about love, but how we as human beings should treat each other with kindness, dignity and respect. Qualities he strives to live by, day to day.

Ross says: “I am immensely proud to be at the helm of such a great school and I am certainly looking forward to working with the staff in the next chapter of the school’s history. No one who visits Pecanwood College could fail to be impressed by the extraordinary character of the school, and the breadth and depth of opportunities on offer. Tracy and I are thrilled to be here and really look forward to getting to know staff, parents, students and the community alike.”

Flower power

With our water resources dwindling by the day, more and more gardeners invest in functional,

waterwise gardens. To have a functional garden, however, does not mean you have to give up all the pretty flowers. Flowering herb and vegetable plants can turn your food garden into a colourful haven.

Here are a few easy to grow and pretty flowering herb and vegetable plants that have plenty of beneficial properties:

Onion and Garlic shoot up flower heads if left. Hoverflies love them and they look quite unusual and attractive too.

A herb garden can be as pretty as a picture with these flowering herb plants.

28 & 29.indd 2 2016/08/19 10:42:55 AM

September 16 Get It Hartbeespoort Brits Rustenburg 29

Parsley, carrots, etc. (the umbelliferae plant family) all flower if left and although not very

colourful, the unusual flowers make for an interesting show. Carrots have delightful

lace umbels for months.

The radish plant has masses of small edible flowers in white, cream, pink and purple.

Red basil has a dark wine colour and a delicious scent and taste.

Chamomile and Daisy attract a range of beneficial insects. Hoverflies and wasps love them.

Bees love Chomfrey and it also provides the perfect source of nutrient-rich mulch for your crops.

Garlic chives’ pretty lacy flowers last for ten or more

days. Chinese broccoli (Kai-lan) is the fastest growing

broccoli with white flowers and lots of side shoots.

Leeks have very useful, long-lasting flowers.

Flower powerDill runs to seed and

flowers all too easily.

Poached Egg Plant, one of my favourite flowers for growing

along the edges of raised beds. Not only is it great

at attracting hoverflies and bees, but it also produces lush green

stems that can easily be dug into the soil when

flowering is over.

Calendula, also known as ‘pot marigolds’ is easy to grow and

keeps flowering through the summer if you regularly pick off

the seed heads.Marigold’s bright yellow

blooms attract hoverflies, bees and butterflies and the strong scent of the

French Marigold types is said to deter nematodes.

Like Calendula they will grow in almost any kind of

soil, are easy to save seed from and often confuse pests if inter-

planted with vegetables.

Flowers play an important role in any organic garden, but the criteria for selecting them are different to ornamental gardens – it is their attractiveness to the right kind of insects that is important. Hoverflies, lacewings,

ladybirds and others are the best protection a garden can have against the invasive pests that feed on crops such as aphids, mites, thrips, mealybugs and scale insects. Bees are the primary pollinators. However, many other insects can help pollinate crops including wasps, moths, butterflies and certain species of beetle. The key is to pick flowers that are rich in high-protein pollen and that provide sources of nectar throughout the year. Nasturtium not only attracts ‘bad’ insects away from your crop, but is probably the most colourful and easy to grow ornamental herb.

We are, we unashamedly admit, fairly jealous of Sarah and Mark Tompkins. Sixteen years ago the couple fell in

love with, and bought, an old, run down sheep farm in the Eastern Cape. Since then, they’ve bought a dozen or so of the neighbouring farms, all the while rehabilitating the land and slowly re-introducing the wildlife traditional to the area. What they have now is 70 000 acres of the most beautiful reserve imaginable ... all dark green valleys and rugged mountains and high-plateau grasslands with views that go on and on forever and ever. This is, quite honestly, God’s country ... and we’re so fortunate to be able to experience it. Samara Private Game Reserve sits secluded and surrounded by a natural amphitheatre of mountains ... and it’s here you’ll find Samara’s three incredibly gorgeous lodges. There’s the Karoo Lodge, with just 10 rooms, a wide wrap-around veranda, snug bar and comfortable nooks and crannies, as well as an intimate dining room where you’ll dine extraordinarily well on traditional Karoo fare.There’s the jaw-droppingly beautiful Manor House, which, if the Tompkins family isn’t in residence, can be booked for private use for up to eight guests. Built on the site of an old house once owned by Lord Charles Somerset, we’re talking the ultimate luxury here, so perfect for an extraordinarily special spoil.

Sensational SamaraHigh praise for

The award-winning Samara Private Game Reserve is most often described as ‘heartstoppingly beautiful’. We went down to the Eastern Cape to find out why!

After an evening game drive, you arrive back to a warmly lit lodge where fires, drinks and dinner wait. Bliss!

Days spent at Samara are long and lazy and luxurious. Game drives start a little later than the norm, and often – after some bone-jarringly exciting 4x4-ing – end up at the top of the mountain, were you’re served breakfast under the gazebo, with the Camdeboo Plains spreading out forever way below. The high-plateau grasslands are rich with zebra and giraffe, antelope and buffalo. The Tompkins opened a cheetah sanctuary on the reserve and, on a good day, you can walk alongside one of these elegant predators. There are biome walks (the reserve is unique in that it has four biomes on one piece of land - Nama-Karoo, plateau grassland, savannah and thicket), and excellent birdwatching (more than 220 species of birds have been recorded – including the endangered blue crane). There are also aardvark safaris ... one of the most elusive animals in Africa, Samara has unusually high sightings, particularly in the winter months. For those who like to sit and relax and take advantage of the lodge (absolutely nothing wrong with that!), there are regular visits from the baboons who run across the rolling lawns, and it’s not unusual to return from an evening game drive and find a buffalo grazing near the rooms. Just three quarters of an hour from Graaff-Reinet in the Eastern Cape, it’s quite a destination – by air or road – but it’s heart-stoppingly beautiful (as it’s invariably described), so well worth the effort.

INFORates include all meals, two game activities daily, selected local drinks on game activities. No children under eight on scheduled game drives. Babysitting service available. Children under three stay free; children under 14 sharing with adults pay 50%. Rates (a person, sharing) for the Karoo Lodge are from R2420 increasing to from R2750 in September 2016; for the Manor (minimum four persons) R3300 increasing to R5445 in September 2016. R60 a person conservation contribution (R115 for international guests). Details: 049-891-0880 or www.samara.co.za ; reservations 031-262-0324 T
