June was the coldest and wettest time of the year and our cottages were full for the duration of the soccer world cup.
We accommodated a group of dancers who performed at the fan-park in George, on certain days, for MTN.
The day of their arrival was probably the coldest day of the year 2010 and some of the guys were put up in Kingfisher cottage which is famous for its open roof shower.
The co-ordinator of the dancers was very concerned for them and their comfort, so I called on Ian and he rushed out to purchase some roof sheets and covered the bathroom, some with a see-through product to maintain some of that open feeling.
Kingfisher cottage is no longer called the open roof bathroom BUT instead the ‘garden bathroom’ with the big window leading to the great view of the forest.
The kids/dancers and performers were initially alarmed at the setting of Beyond the Moon farm as we are surrounded by dairy farms and trees where they are used to life in the concrete jungle and traffic but soon they relaxed and enjoyed their visit tremendously.
By the end of the world-cup they had all become a little bit attached to their ‘home away from home’, having spent so much time here during the coldest spell ever, but then they were probably glad and looking forward to seeing some concrete again.
