Why blueberries?? Blueberries contain antioxidants, which work to neutralise free radicals linked to the development of cancer, cardiovas-cular disease, and other age-related conditions. These little power-houses provide tasty ways of staying healthy. In short ... blueberries do a body good and they are yummy. Add to your smoothie, ice cream, muffins, cheesecake ... the list is end-less. The best news though, is that you can get them fresh from Blush-ing Berries, at a fraction of the price at any retail outlet!! To place your order please phone 084 250 3925.

We wish all our clients a Blessed Christmas

Planning a day trip somewhere? Why not Bathurst? The essence of the village resolves around the soul, which the locals have termed as “the centre of the universe”. A pooled little core of settlement cottages, dominated by a large friendly church at the top of the hill. The air of laid-back alternative living belies the tumultuous

history of wars that raged on for many years from 1884 to 1886.

Largely owned by the ‘church’, Bathurst as laid out in 1820, is series of allotments and outspans, which has changed very

little over the years. From settler roots, the ‘trades-folk’, much like of old, along with military influences, the stalwarts of commerce have injected a classic attraction, of exquisite galleries, and boutique shops, also grass-root crafters, and absolutely amazing restaurants and deli’s . For purists, there is the tallest pineapple in the world, the historical ‘toposcope’ on the Bunkers Hill, and of course, the unique waters meeting reserve. • Antiquities; churches, grave yards and magical agricultural museum. • Food.• Galleries/shops• Pineapple• Waters meeting. A day trip to Bathurst is an exhilarating and refreshing

experience . 046-624-1235 | [email protected]
