I have a very dear friend who hates "willful ignorance" to the point of murderous thoughts and tears! ( I Love him for it) I share that - but with a huge amount of shame for my own. I have a similar reaction to people who are, what JK Rawlings calls, "willfully unimaginative"! Life is so much bigger ! Imagination is so powerful that it can make a millionaire or fretting fool out of you. Your thoughts CAN make or break your life!

Even Nosy Rosy was forced to take her head out of the" Romantic little Village " - Ostrich hole - to look up and see that Hermanus is not the small sleepy hollow little fishing village where sheep provided meat and lawn mowing for Hermanus Pieters any more. Wanting that back is as futile as wanting your youth back. The graceful thing to do is accept the fact and become a positive part in planning the inevitable progress. We have grown to more than a little town and the Live the Life Church shared their beautiful vision in an honourable pro-active approach by inviting all the movers and shakers in Hermanus to an evening of fact sharing. We Salute this church and all the people who worked so hard at organising a super successful and elegant event.

Some of the animals are fed daily, and others twice weekly by 84-year old Joyce Rawstorn, who’s become known to all the animals in Zwelihle as an angel in disguise. They know the sound of her car so well, as soon as they hear her coming, they run after her like the rats in the story of the Pied Piper. The Hermanus Times appreciates the continued support from the animal loving community, especially the stores that set aside special trolleys for donations. Without the efforts of Pick n Pay, Eastcliff Spar, Gateway Spar, 7/11 Onrus and Bay Bargain Centre in the industrial area, Brakkenjan would not be the success it is today. Also a big thank you to the restaurants’ that donate their leftovers to Joyce, it makes the food last longer when mixed with pellets. The animals rely on the charity of others, as for some of them it is the only way to get food because their owners are struggling themselves. Some of the dogs and cats do not even have the “luxury” of an owner and they depend entirely on the food Joyce and Annelie deliver. If you would like to make a contribution, please leave a bag or tin of pet food in the trolleys provided at the shops mentioned above. Know that any donation, large or small, is carefully handed out and fed to dogs and cats that need it desperately. For more info, Janine van der Riet can be contacted on 082 885 0226.
