Snow-filled Antics
From Matroosberg to Ceres to Tulbagh, festivities were felt this past weekend. Matroosberg Reserve hosted many happy visitors who sculpted snowmen, threw snowballs at one another and revelled in the stunning landscape. Accessible via 4x4, the snow-filled scene was enjoyed by all.  The weather in Ceres saw some rain and the snow-capped mountain tops in the background were smiled upon.
Tulbagh had its “Christmas Winter Festival” and saw many a visitor too. There were Belgian chocolates, wine and olives to be enjoyed. Father Christmas travelled through central town and delighted many a happy child with treats! It seems it was treats all round!

Here are a few photos of the snow.
