Hello November! With the festive season just around the corner, we cannot wait to start celebrating all the wonderful things that make a Lowveld lifestyle so great, from awesome people to fantastic giveaways.

Our November cover features mum of twins, Candice van Zyl, whose journey with Fibromyalgia and the effect it has had on her life is well worth a read. We also indulge in a little sparkle at Whispering Thorns, and chat to Alan and Lesley Taylor about Twinstreams, where a little bit of everything good for the soul comes together.

We also shine a light on diabetes, and brighten our lives with a little pet talk, from caring for senior pets to recognising illness and how to deal with it. If you are planning a function, from year year-end to hen party, our feature on event planning is invaluable. We also take a trip down to the coast, to the blissful Zona Braza Beach Lodge, paradise right on our doorstep.

Oh, and as always, our spoil this month is an indulgence indeed, a voucher for easy Summer living with Volpes. For all this, and more, grab your copy now, and have a great month.
