The browns of autumn in Paul Roux and all the Sandstone makes for a lovely almost victorian setting for my Bentley 1961 S2 here seen in the gates of Dereck Petersons home Folly Cove with the NGK in the background which celebrates its centenary in 2014.
The beautiful things about this time of the year is that its really not all bropwns at all but an array of colours with their own seasonal beauty. Here the koppie behind Paul Roux as seen from my back garden.
The good thing about winter time
is that there is less to do in the garden and it’s great to be able to get down
to maintenance on the houses we have.
I have seen a lot of people
repainting, doing additions and touching up here and there. Those that are
building have had fine weather to do so, and much progress has been made. Ruben
and his team at the Municipal Office organised to have the roads regraded again
after the damage caused by the last rains we had and this is much appreciated.
I would encourage those that have
holiday homes in Paul Roux, or those that are away on leave, to please get a
low energy night sensor globe for your front and back door or stoep. Leaving
your house in darkness for weeks at a time is tempting for people who may pass
through looking to steal. We want to discourage this and maintain our very low
crime rate.
We have had new people move into
Paul Roux – permanent residents that have already started on the houses and
gardens and the Forum bids them a hearty welcome to the Village.
I am thrilled that an art and
music society is being formed in the Village – it will be a wonderful platform
for anyone involved in the arts to be able to network, showcase and create an
energy with like-minded people as they in their own way seek to add to the vibe
and feel of this haven we call home.
I continue to be thrilled with
the way in which barriers continue to be broken down within the various groups
in the Village – it seems more and more residents are supporting the concept of
being a Paul Rouxster first and foremost, and to understand that it is ALL of
us who live in this village that will make it what it is – so you can either
add positively or not – I am glad to see so many more people are engaging and
adding positively. Thank you.
Enjoy your fires while you still
can – and by the time you receive the next edition of the Paul Roux Telegraaf,
it will be well and truly SPRING.
God bless
Richard Lewis
