The 4th week

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

While many of us are taking a well-deserved break from the rat race today, our vines do not have that luxury. Strong winds again raced along the Simonsberg mountain. Luckily the grapes are settled and were not drastically affected by the Cape Doctor.

End of school year

Friday, December 11th, 2009

It is the end of another year of learning. We had 18 children in the crèche and 16 children in our after-school programme. The year was filled with many outings and training, bike and running events and all in all fantastic learning opportunities for the children. We thank the Pebbles Team for their continued support and what they have done to help with all the activities, training of teachers etc. Also Anna Brom for the wonderful bikes that are fulltime at Delheim - what a positive impact it has on the children.

3 weeks later and growing strong

Monday, December 7th, 2009

7 December and the Rhine Riesling grapes are growing strong and looking healthy. The crop seems similar in size for the making of Noble Late Harvest at a yield of 2.94 tonnes per hectare.

Is summer back?

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

It would seem that summer is back in Stellenbosch. From days of experiencing four seasons in one day, we are blessed with a beautiful week full of sunshine, singing birds and spectacular flowers. Come and enjoy the wonderful surroundings with us.

I promise that it will be “worth the journey”.
