Downton Abbey has been home to the Crawley family for many generations, but it is also where the servants live and plan and dream, and they are as fiercely jealous of their rank as anyone. Some of them are loyal to the family but others are moving through, on the look out for betterment, love or just adventure. But for all the passions that rage beneath the surface, this appears to be a secure world, serene and ordered which will last for ever. Little do family or servants know that events that will change everything are about to occur.

"We little knew that day that God was going to call your name, In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you Mommy, you did not go alone, For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again". God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered "come to me." With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we... loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. We will love and miss you dearly Mommy. At peace at last....

8) Bulawayo News The Sleeping Beauty that is Bulawayo, is sitting up and rubbing her eyes - BECAUSE ... the editorial team from the AA Quality Assured Accommodation Guide based in South Africa, which has been producing the Southern African Guide annually for many years, decided to produce this year a Zimbabwe guide. The launch in Bulawayo took place at the end of last year and the team has again spent a week here assessing properties for inclusion in their Zimbabwe Guide. These booklets are handed out at all leading international and regional travel shows, placed in AA offices and various other outlets. The information is also on their website. The team has been most impressed with the enthusiasm and 'passion' displayed by the accommodation owners in Bulawayo for their properties and for the efforts they are making to improve and publicise them. Bulawayo will gain tremendous publicity and world-wide coverage through this. Apart from this, more and more overland trucks are coming into Zimbabwe where they spend at least 2 days in Bulawayo and the Matopos. The Association itself is seeing a slight increase in the number of international visitors in their offices. A husband and wife from South Africa, recently spent 3 weeks touring Zimbabwe during the course of their extended overland trip. The BPA was given a copy of Adam's 4 page article on the Zimbabwe part of their trip which included the Matopos, in which he writes that Zimbabwe is a resilient country that still has plenty of charisma and allure. He writes about the warmth of the people and the 'aching beauty of the land' and ends the article with the words "Zimbabwe grabs hold of your heart and refuses to let go". A concert organized by a well known radio and television presenter of classical music concerts, was held on the 28 February at the London home of Sir Vernon Ellis, who is amongst other things, the Chairman of the British Council and English National Opera. This concert launched the British Friends of Zimbabwe Academy of Music, with the purpose of funding the visit to Bulawayo of overseas and South African musicians; the employment of additional teachers at the Academy and a bursary fund to cover the fees of 10 students for 3 years each. Copies of the activities taking place at the Academy through the Performing Arts of Bulawayo may be obtained from the Academy, Tel 60684 or from the BPA, 60868. THE BULAWAYO CITY COUNCIL is now serious in its efforts to clean up the city and litterbugs will be arrested and fined $5. The municipal police have also been instructed to be on the lookout for offenders and make them pay spot fines. DELTA BEVERAGES must be congratulated in the confidence they are showing in supporting development in this region, particularly by their massive capital investment in various projects and their desire to work towards restoring the city's status as the industrial hub of Zimbabwe. BITS AND PIECES THE BON JOURNEE in Robert Mugabe Way is now open daily until 10p.m at night. It might interest you to know that they include soup in their menu. 22 HADDON AVENUE RESTAURANT is open on Sundays and the ART GROVE CAFE is open on a Monday, even though the Art Gallery itself is closed on that day. The three 3-star hotels include traditional foods in their buffets on certain nights. The young tourists are always asking where they can get this food. WE ARE HAPPY TO GIVE A PLUG TO ANY CAF OR RESTAURANT, BUT WE DO NEED YOUR INPUT. THE NATIONAL ART GALLERY in Main St/L Takawira Ave contains artists, studios, the Art Grove Caf and the John Knight Cinema. Films are shown every Saturday at 5p.m are fairly current with leading actors and actresses. A movie guide may be obtained from the Gallery itself. Tel 71305 MUNN PUBLICATIONS magazine shop in 10th Ave, now stock certain English magazines, apart from the usual ones like Hello magazine. TENDELE CRAFTS in Pembroke Road, Hillside, has recently received a large range of arts and crafts. AMADAKA POTTERY in Stourbridge Road, Industrial Sites, has just donated a set of tea/coffee mugs, milk jug and sugar bowl to the Association in most attractive colours and design. An ideal gift and not at all expensive. Available from the factory. MR NICK DHLAMINI OF Alpha Print in 111 Plumtree Road has very generously said he would print letterheads and business cards for the Association at no cost to it. The Association is very grateful for this donation. Apart from the usual printing, Alpha Print does UV varnishing on printed material which prevents fading of colours. We have been told that they are the only firm that does this varnishing. The Association is extremely grateful to the BULAWAYO RAINBOW HOTEL for the donation of a new Printer and to the Meikles Group for a new computer. These have made the work of the staff so much easier. There are several firms who have assisted the Association in the last four months in cash and kind, Duration Gold, Fawcett Security Operations (Pvt) Ltd, Cresta Churchill, Mr D Paul, Antelope Park, Gweru et al, to whom the Association is greatly indebted. We also value the support of all our members over the years, and thank you most sincerely. GIANT BULL FROGS Again I must thank you and Morning Mirror for your help regarding the Giant Bull Frogs, we lost five frogs on the roads, this season, Fifty or more last rainy season, and due to your help, people, too many to mention, went out in the rain, and patrolled in their vehicles, picking up giant bull frogs, on roads, and those in distress. One particular family caught ten Giant Bull frogs in one night, on a particularly busy road, in a heavy thundering downpour. We were able to insert tracking chips, and release them, we followed them back to their "LEKS". As a result of all this I have been selected as part of an international team examining the whole genus, this team consists of DR Elizabeth Prendini of the Natural History Museum in New York, John Visser of Namibia, and Caroline Yetman of the Transvaal Museum, thank you and a big thanks to all the willing helpers.Particularly N.U.S.T, God bless you all. And I hope I can call on you all again at the beginning of this rainy season. Best regards, Rob Hopkins

PROPERTY & AUCTIONS CHARTERED SURVEYORS (The only independent Chartered Surveyors in Byo) Right, firstly the R.E.D. Property & Auctions cricket report. My last missive was dismissive of England's chances in the World Cup, and not much has changed there. But, you will agree, the game is a fickle mistress; consider a team just back from an Ashes victory, that only beats the Netherlands in the penultimate over, then should have beaten India but only managed a draw, is then given a lesson by Ireland (who? What? Do they play cricket?) and then beats South Africa. But Ireland put up a wonderful showing, with a certain Kevin O'Brian on that performance surely qualifying to play for any team in the world. Whatever, thank goodness Mrs. Redfern enjoys watching cricket too. Divorce is such an expensive business. R.E.D. Property (Chartered Surveyors) A slight increase in interest from prospective purchasers, but all looking to buy at sensible price which in the serious buyer's market pertaining at present in Bulawayo, is quite right too. Of course, all sellers are inclined to over-estimate the attractions of their own property and I am no exception. I recently sold my office premises in Mutare at substantially below the asking price which was probably true market value 3 years ago. The reduced offer was the first serious offer received in 2 years, and realism overcame natural avarice and at this time I think I did the right thing. In short, sellers will be wise to consider a sensible offer which falls short of their expected value. We are receiving new listings on a weekly basis (5 a week for last 2 weeks). We make no charge for sound professional advice on value and sales technique if a seller's mandate is signed. We have a good choice of Hillside, Burnside, Bradfield, Famona, Morningside etc. properties in most price ranges. Contact the office for details, on 882944/6, or call at 98a. S. Parirenyatwa, between 9th & 10th Ave. Ding Mukono 0712 397 632 Jonathan Thompson 0712 617 448 Beryl Muir 0772 830 504 Email : redproperty@yoafrica.com for general advice etc. redpropertybyo@gmail.com for specific properties on sale, with photos etc. Please register for newsletter every 2 weeks. R.E.D. Auctions Our regular Wednesday general auctions still attracting serious buyers who pay serious prices for the right stock. We pay out on the Monday following the sale in respect of items sold; if not sold at auction - i.e. price offered not high enough - items are offered for sale "out of hand" at an agreed price. Above all, R.E.D. Auctions offers an HONEST service! Call 886013/4 to discuss what you may wish to sell and likely prices you can expect. Deliver to 14 Luton St., Belmont (opp Webb, Low & Barry) or phone 886013/4 to arrange collection. Remember - we sell just about everything, from cars, boats, trailers, to furniture, household smalls, garden equipment, building materials - the lot.

WRIGHTS NURSERY NEWS LETTER : MARCH 2011 We seem to have gone from January floods to a drought this month. Very few folk recorded any significant rainfall in February and March is not looking like there is much change, despite the long range forecast for heavy rain. The evenings are now dropping down to 15oC and it is cooler then one would expect for this time of the year. WHAT TO DO IN MARCH Your main job will be to build up your garden for the autumn and winter. The heavy January rains will have depleted your garden nutrient levels and feeding now will pay dividends, as there is still time for good growth before the season slows down: Start your winter seed plantings. Split your Agapanthus and Clivias this month. Prepare your new seasons strawberry beds with lots of manure and let it settle and rest before planting next month. Feed your lawn and check for crickets. Check your pumpkins, butternut and watermelons for fruit fly stings and spray with Lebaycid if they are being stung. Do not pick your cucurbits too early and leave a few leaves on the stem when you cut them off the vine. Plant out your sweet peas. If the weather continues cool you can start your first planting of Namaqualand daisies. Feed your roses. Give your fruit trees their last dressing of Ammonium Nitrate to bring the fruits through to maturity. Spray your citrus and aloes with a systemic insecticide like Dimethoate to clean up all your potential pests. ENVIRO/ECO Having recommended Round Up/Drive Weeder to every one last month I see that the chemical companies do not have stock. Bug Weed. I have seen a lot of this on the Byo Golf Course in the wet areas and also in Suburbs and Kumalo. It grows into a small tree with pale green large leaves that are quite coarse. You will recognize the small clusters of marble size fruits that turn a pale yellow when mature. Birds feed on these and spread them quickly through out the heavy soil areas. Bug weed grows very fast and quickly shades out all plants below it until all that is left is a stand of bug weed. It is relatively easy to control and just needs to be cut off and dug out to stop it spreading. Queen of the Night. This is a parasitic succulent that creeps up trees and can form huge clumps that can eventually pull down their host. It produces huge attractive cactus like flowers in the evening and they die off the following day. Because of its waxy exterior it is very difficult to spray this plant effectively. The plant is also a real cactus and can survive up to a year just lying on the ground with out roots. If the soil is damp at any stage it will soon push out new roots and begin growing again. The only effective way to kill it is to smash the stems with a pick handle, garden roller or drive on them. You must expose the soft inner flesh, which dries out quickly. Fountain Grass (Cats Tail Grass). This knee high grass fountain looks vaguely decorative as its thick clumps thrive in poor soils. It is a fine grass with a bottlebrush like tip to it. It sets large quantities of seed. (Its decorative relative is Pennesetum rubra or the Purple Cats Tail.) Burning the clumps will not kill this weed and it has to be dug out and ensure that all the roots come out. If not controlled it will quickly take over and smother all other plants. WHATS HAPPENING IN THE NURSERIES? We are expecting our first Dodhill delivery mid-month and there will be quite a lot of new varieties of plants that are coming in with this order. Our first petunia seedlings are in but they still small and we will only send them down as they come into flower. We are also working on setting up stocks of potted office plants to suit all options as we have had many queries of late. The compost day is likely to happen on a Saturday later on this month and I will advise every one. FAQ'S The citrus psylla bug is making its self a nuisance. (It's the small pimples you see on the leaves) and this is easily controlled with Dimethoate. Aloes are also being attacked in their crowns by the aloe borer beetle and if not controlled will eat the heart out of your aloes. Again spray the centre of the crown with Dimethoate. WHAT TO PLANT Flower garden. Alyssum, Calendula, Campanula, Candy Tuft, Chrysanthus, Gazanias, Gloriosa daisy, lobelia, Namaqaland daisy, Iceland Poppy, Statice, Stocks, Sweet Peas, Violas. Vegetable Garden. Beans, Beetroot, Carrots, Cauliflower, Leeks, Lettuce, Peas, Spinach. Happy Gardening. Dave Dave & Lyn Rawlins saracen@zol.co.zw
