Pick, laugh, live—at Wildebraam Berry Estate in Swellendam

05/12/2025

At Wildebraam Berry Estate, even a quiet bench beneath a tree becomes a treasure. Between berry picking, exploring Swellendam’s wonders and sharing laughter, we’re reminded to slow down, breathe deeply and enjoy the simple moments.

Boss’s Day at Creating Carol
Today we celebrate the visionary, the strategist, the one-woman creative business behind Creating Carol, Digital Marketing Solutions.
That’s me. 💋
I wear all the hats. Creative director. Caption whisperer. Deadline diplomat.
Also: chief snack procurement officer with a suspiciously empty biscuit tin. It’s a solo act, but the applause is real.
Human Resources says I’m delightful.
Marketing says I’m brilliant.
Finance says I deserve a raise.
The boss agrees. We’re still in negotiations.
To all the self-employed superheroes out there: may your deadlines be gentle, your clients kind and your inbox manageable.
Happy Boss’s Day to me and to every solo act making magic happen.

The long exhale. No more waiting.

Kindness at Dawn, A Gentle Shield Against the Noise
Each morning, just as the first blush of light spills over the Breede Valley, I lace up my shoes and head out with the dogs. Swellendam is still sleepy, the air cool and clean and the world feels momentarily untouched. It’s in these quiet walks that I find my reset, my shield against the weight of working for myself and the invisible load of carrying others’ worries alongside my own.
There’s a pair of Hamerkops nesting near the riverbank this time of year. They’re odd little birds, stocky, brown with a head shaped like a hammer and a call that sounds like laughter tumbling over stones. Each morning, I watch them ferry twigs and treasures to their enormous nest, a feat of engineering tucked high in a tree. They work together, fuss and flap and sometimes perform what looks like a comical dance, crest raised, wings outstretched, hopping about in a flurry of joy or mischief. It’s strangely comforting. Their ritual reminds me that even in chaos there’s connection. Even in noise there’s purpose.
Living here is a privilege I never take for granted. The birdsong, the mist lifting off the fields, the rhythm of paws on gravel, it’s a kind of medicine. A reminder to be kind to myself, to protect my peace and to start each day with softness. The world can be loud and people can be heavy. But nature whispers a different truth, that beauty is quiet and strength can be gentle.
So I walk. I breathe. I listen. And I let the Hamerkops remind me that even the strangest creatures can build something magnificent, together with care and a little bit of humour.

Last night’s launch of Poetic Odyssey at Bokmakiri books/boeke was unforgettable. Robin’s words held the room in quiet awe, so full of grace, depth and creative maturity beyond her years.
It was a joy to see so many familiar faces come together to celebrate her. One moment I’ll carry with me was watching her dad, standing quietly off to the side, just listening ... a proud father, taking it all in, letting her shine. That quiet love spoke volumes.
I’ve had the privilege of working with Robin and I couldn’t be prouder of the remarkable young woman she is. Her courage, creativity and kindness continue to inspire me.
Deepest thanks to Eduan Swanepoel and Bokmakiri Books for your warmth and support. What a gift to witness this young poet’s journey begin.

I stood in the hallway at Automation Works Training Facility, taking a quiet moment before the main presentation began, feeling deeply honoured to have been invited as a guest judge for their third term evaluation. I thought about how remarkable it is to be welcomed into a space where young people are encouraged to dream, build and grow.
Once the presentation began, I watched them share their work with bright curiosity and steady focus. They tackled problems with cleverness and resilience, adapted when things changed and let their practical skills shine. The teachers and facilitators nurture confidence and a love of learning, this Facility truly lives its motto; Building for the Future.
I left humbled by their creativity, proud to have had the privilege to witness part of their journey and excited for what they will build next.
I hope to be visiting again very soon, encouraging nod at the ready! Automation Works Training Facility Elmarie Turner
