🌿Spring Frog Mountain Getaway & Nature Sanctuary
Warmth arriving in our mountains - a little update from us the family that own and look after this special place:.
🍂After a really strange, rainfree, not terribly cold winter (apart from the crazy hurricane storm that brought floods to the Breede and knocked down trees a few months ago)...and of course the loss of our 2 beloved doggies which really broke us💔..it seems that spring is beginning to arrive. Our favourite blossoms are out! The Keurtjie and Fonteinbos!(Smells like Chappies bubblegum in the house)..
I see that we have almost 10,000 followers on our page. 🫣😍! WHAT?! I can't quite fathom that!? 🤔😬
To all of you wonderful nature loving people who have joined this page...and support us...WELCOME and THANK YOU!!!💚🐸🌿.
🌿You are following the account of a small family that did the crazy thing 7 years ago, decided to pack up and move away from the city, to a farm! I think somewhere we thought life would be simpler! Haha! 🙈🤪
Learning to manage/run a guest farm with 6 self-catering cottages (we can sleep 45 in total), renovate, maintain, fix, upgrade, protect and manage the land, the infrastructure, plus all the admin, staff, the bookings, platforms, social media and of course looking after our amazing furry family members....it's been a helluva ride so far!.
🌿Posting is very much linked to my own inner sense of creativity and joy...joy in sharing the realness and beauty of this special place with all of you! We don't have a social media marketer or professional photographers..it's just me, an iPhone and the beauty of nature and the farm (you can't really go wrong)☺️.
Dealing with loss of our beloveds bringing so much sadness, plus peri menopause and life...definitely cut me off from my joy and I felt less inclined to share or post...I am sure many can relate! Today I decided to share at least That!.
🌿Yesterday we went for a walk to the waterfall (first time since Goldie died) and even had an icy swim! We were captivated by the blossoms while Floki was captivated by Poppy! Silki and Rusky stayed at home and got cuddled when we were back! We are blessed!.
