#GiveADuckTulbagh

September 1, 2019 in Adventure, Events, Food, Lifestyle

I recently visited the beautiful town Tulbagh to learn about an incredible initiative which is taking place at the beautiful Essere Lodge in Tulbagh (Essere Lodge) on Saturday, 14th September, the event features a Food Market, Live Music (Newton & Co,) kids entertainment and of course, the massive toy Rubber Duck race!

The “Day at The Duck Race” is a brilliant family day out where toy rubber ducks race down a river to raise funds for the local animal welfare. CHAIN Boland is an NPO (NPO 77158) active in the 5 towns of the Witzenberg Municipal district – Ceres, Tulbagh, Prince Alfred Hamlet, Wolseley and Op die Berg. It is a pro-life organization, with a focus on rescue, rehabilitation and re-homing animals.  

We checked-in at Essere Lodge, which has such a welcoming atmosphere and were escorted to our suite. An eclectic mix of modern, industrial and countryside touches. Note that for the actual Duck Race, all the suites are already fully booked but there are plenty nearby accommodations available still.

We then headed to CHAIN, the supported animal shelter and were able to meet the incredible humans who have created such an important haven for animals in the community.

I didn’t quite realise just how much this visit affected me until I saw the below image of myself and the sadness in my eyes. I’m holding, no longer a puppy, but not fully grown yet “Britney” and she just touched my soul. I hope she finds a loving home, along with all of the animals at the shelter.

Even though the focus of this trip was the Duck Race, we were treated to some wine tastings along the way. Including the gorgeous Saronsberg which is a modern winery with award-winning wines and accommodation. 

We indulged in a cheese platter, p.s that green chilli sauce is divine, and nibbles on the patio outside with a magnificent view of the mountains and its reflection on the dam.

Saronsberg is home to a collection of contemporary South African art. To learn more about the current exhibition you can visit their site here.

Our next stop was Made in Tulbagh, a beautifully curated store which supports locals artisans and is specifically focused on items made in the Tulbagh. Whilst enjoying a scrumptious lunch we also had an informative wine tasting from Digger Home Winery

So show your support for this special little town and most importantly for CHAIN and the amazing things they are doing for the animals.

Tickets are already available on https://webtickets.co.za and a duck costs
R50 (you can purchase as many as you like!) and all proceeds go towards #CHAINBoland the community animal welfare and no-kill shelter.

You can decorate the ducks for an extra R10, oh and there is a R5000 prize!

Looking “back” on the past year. It’s surrea Looking “back” on the past year. It’s surreal to even process how we have all changed. Adapted. 

I was enjoying the simple pleasure of breathing in fresh air, feeling the warmth of the sun and knowing that through all the hardships I have and am still growing. I do finally feel the excitement that comes with a new year. It may not be the 1st of January but it is the first day of an entire year of South Africa working together to help one another, thrive and survive, and that is inspiring and motivating.

Richard and I took it super easy. I got to sleep in, was spoilt with coffee and later an untypical “picnic” and decided to have a little toast with some non-alcoholic @robertsonwinery sparkling wine 🥂. Last weekend I was in ER (Not COVID-19) but still better not to mix meds and alcohol just yet 😊

We then decided to do our own versions of relaxation. Him non-stop  sport and for me pampering with face masks and watching YouTube beauty gurus 💕

@frysfamily “chicken” burger sliced in half (I’m struggling to find round rolls at the moment for some reason). Crunchy beetroot, carrot, pomegranate seeds and a splash of citrus dressing. Deeeeeelicious 😍
