<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;">The common barbel is indigenous to most of South Africa
except the Western Cape. They were introduced into the Breede Valley several
years back without any formal permission from CapeNature and unfortunately
their population surged. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;">The same method of angling used for carp can be used for
catching barbel. To lure them in more
effectively its advised to make use of flesh baits such as chicken livers and
fish heads. Barbel are omnivorous and will eat almost anything they can
scavenge. Light tackle lures and large flies can also be used. Barbel can grow
to well over 20kg and can give a good fight. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;">There are no catch restrictions for this alien species as
it's a pest and has a negative impact on the indigenous species and alien
species such as bass. It's advised that all barbel caught in the Breede River
area and Quaggaskloof Dam should be either consumed or given dead to people who
need the food. Barbel are at their most delicious when smoked.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-ZA"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">One of the great things about running a guesthouse, almost a “perk” that comes with the job, is the great people that one meets. At our guesthouse Hotel Pension Moni in Windhoek, Namibia we have made friends for life with some of the people that stayed with us. Most of the time they are impressed by our country and the people of the South and often I hear them say they wish they could contribute or assist in making a difference… Life carries on and as they return home the best of their intensions fade with the memories of their holiday, heaven knows I’ve experienced it myself.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-ZA"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">But and this is a ‘good” but there are a few people that make good on their intentions and make things happen with simple ideas that grow into making a big impact! Staying with us early November where four “volunteers” that travel the country in the name of BEN (Bicycling Empowerment Network), helping kids to know more about road safety and bicycle maintenance. “The main mission of BEN is to address poverty and mobility through the promotion of the bicycle in all its forms. BEN imports used bicycles from Europe, and distribute them to low income areas, trains recipients of the bikes in safety and maintenance, establishes Bicycle Empowerment Centre's (BEC's) and encourages cities to implement bicycle planning and infrastructure.” ( quoted from the BEN website )<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span lang="EN-ZA">This organization and the people that work toward accomplishing their goal have had a major impact in local rural communities especially mobilizing kids to get to schools. I was humbled by </span><span lang="EN-ZA">Lynn (Lynn Streit - from Chicago), Mr Bean (Vivan Bean ); Fago ( Fagodien Campher ) and Louis ( Louis de Waal - “Oom” or “ Uncle” Louis ) </span><span lang="EN-ZA">and their enthusiasm and honest concern for the kids. This charitable idea has grown throughout Southern Africa and thousands of bikes have been distributed and people have been trained to be safe and use their new found mobility toward building themselves a better future. There are a few farm schools in our area and all of them have benefitted from BEN.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj824uGrPTnaKZvhJfJBqNSJDwGpb3cFPgH8OF2kj_z9iGoSkF_dbBYeLApTxHTFzAAkNgU0nTmbZqJ7bcsol3M1xXNXiBt2LUxS6UgSSyoPRHjA5aJi2Bg6ZPp9geYYe2jN2Px28a7AZQ/s1600/Ben+Bike.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="39" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj824uGrPTnaKZvhJfJBqNSJDwGpb3cFPgH8OF2kj_z9iGoSkF_dbBYeLApTxHTFzAAkNgU0nTmbZqJ7bcsol3M1xXNXiBt2LUxS6UgSSyoPRHjA5aJi2Bg6ZPp9geYYe2jN2Px28a7AZQ/s200/Ben+Bike.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">In the evening I would cook dinner and they would sit and discuss their day and the kids and teachers they interacted with and the mixed reactions they received.

<br />
Since arriving in the valley I have learned that not only is the Worcester area the wine producing mother-load of the Western Cape, but the locals have a knack for producing hard to resist fresh produce and homemade delicacies to write home about! Just this past month I attended two such showcases the Worcester wine and Olive route’s “Best of Both” market at Klein Plasie and the “Pret and Plaas ” in the Nuy valley. What a delicious platform to meet and mingle with the locals, and as you go sample what is undeniably mouth-watering, homemade excellence! In the tasting mix is always wine and “Gemudligkeid” as my native German homies would say. <br />

Every time I attend these markets I make new friends and get that warm fuzzy feeling when I experience old fashioned hospitality in the truest sense of the word.

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">My husband takes off on his motorbike ever so often, to leave us behind and find “Mind Space”, which I endorse as he usually returns the better version of himself. A few weekends ago he came back laden with gifts and excited to share his newly discovered route. From what he shared I had to go see for myself and so we set off Sunday midmorning on the meander.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrqzN1XH3pp_7VeWCfErLJz3Ao3D_7mLVnDVJ8ShSU2GfsLMNlDnoGf2hFVK0N4m73vKfg929IWZlVRAkwx_yIox8qvLBdGxwDbS_SOCbnKo7nrJIJx8lrK8kOfZTaCAdh2coeKmdbO2Y/s1600/R43+-+Land.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="121" kca="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrqzN1XH3pp_7VeWCfErLJz3Ao3D_7mLVnDVJ8ShSU2GfsLMNlDnoGf2hFVK0N4m73vKfg929IWZlVRAkwx_yIox8qvLBdGxwDbS_SOCbnKo7nrJIJx8lrK8kOfZTaCAdh2coeKmdbO2Y/s320/R43+-+Land.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
We took the R43 turnoff too Hermanus and just over the first hill we were greeted by a green and yellow sea of Canola flowers. The wind was waving through the fields and the sky was wash day blue. It was like driving into a postcard or tourism poster. We stopped almost every 3km as the landscape ebbed and flowed with picture after perfect picture. <br />

This is the MOTHER of farm stalls and there is nothing that you could want in homemade, creative, garden, wine, deli products, antiques furniture, leather goods, home accessories, clothing, lighting, kitchen utensils, baked goods and, and, and STUFF that you will not find here guaranteed! It’s very popular so you have to add your name to the waiting list upon arrival and then spend your time getting lost in it seems 5 hectares of all named above. The food is traditional home cooking style and portions are “doggy bag” must. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

<br />
It seems we fill our days with chasing agendas and chores that drives the rut. Recently my father; aged 74 with a bad hip, came to visit from Gauteng and our time together was short as my day to day activities kept me on the run. I decided we had to fit in at least one meaningful activity so that he could experience first- hand why I choose to come stay in Worcester. We went for a picnic lunch to the <a href="http://www.sanbi.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=138&Itemid=70">Karoo botanical gardens</a> and what we witnessed there in an hour’s time was inspirational.<br />
<br />
Even though my old man is not very mobile the footpath was easy to negotiate and our efforts were rewarded all along the way. Each corner we turned was another photo opportunity! As we sat next to an ancient (I did not know one get such a thing) Aloe tree to enjoy our lunch the discussion concluded that this garden alone is one of the best reasons to relocate to the valley.<br />
<br />

The Karoo botanical gardens are situated just North of Worcester when you turn off the N1 incoming. We are new to the area and have explored the Breede valley high and low just to find the absolute gem of the area is abound and blooming less than a fifteen minute drive away. Once again I learned that beauty is on your doorstep you just have to take the time to open your heart and eyes to invite it in.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: right;"><em><strong>A few facts and figures about the Karoo Botanical Gardens:</strong></em></div><br />
The Karoo Botanical Garden is unique, displaying a wide variety of desert and semi desert plants of South Africa, with about 400 species growing naturally in the garden and another 2500 species propagated in glass houses. Explore one of the 3 relative easy to walk hiking trails naturally surrounded by Roberson Karoo or Breede Shale Renosterveld, enjoy some of the mammals and more than 95 species of birds that frequent the garden and natural land scape. For the less active explore the 1 km Desert Birds Trail or the Quire Tree Forest, Spekboom Forest, the Richterveld with its rich succulent diversity, the Plant Maze or the Xhosa Medical Garden and Nama Kookskerm. Use the picnic area in the garden to relax and reflect on nature’s beauty.Kwaggaskloof The "Secret" Valleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15516685171977662176noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119764867198683557.post-56463503612962805172011-08-04T13:17:00.000+02:002011-08-04T13:17:59.563+02:00Bird Identification WorkshopContribution by: <br />

Over the weekend 30 July 2011 we attended a workshop on bird identification, presented by Dr Anton Odendal of Overberg Birdlife.<br />
<br />
You may say birding, well as a first time novice I must admit what an experience.<br />
It’s clear Anton has been around the block and know his birding. The practical tips were useful even to get a first time novice like me going.<br />
