Midsummer in Sweden.

Apart from Christmas, midsummer is the most important holiday in the Swedish calendar. For some, midsummer is the most important.
Midsummer Eve in 2021 was on 25 June. Where can you usually celebrate Midsummer public parks, gardens, summer cottages, in fact, anywhere in Sweden will do as long as it is outdoors.
The successful midsummer never-ending lunch party formula involves flowers in your hair, dancing around a pole, singing songs while drinking unsweetened, flavoured schnapps. And downing a whole load of pickled herring served with delightful new potatoes, chives and sour cream. All in all, a grand day out.

We took a trip south of Stockholm to a most 'unSwedish place' - The High Chapparal in Varnamo.
At High Chaparral there are captivating shows, fascinating heroes and villains, saloons with good food and drink and lots of other things to do. Put on your boots, saddle up the horse and load the cap gun 'cause now you're in the Wild West! (In the middle of Sweden!!) It was an exhausting day for Granny but the kids had a fabulous time, sword fighting with Zorro, panning for gold, shooting 'baddies' with cap guns!

One can take the train to Old Mexico, climb aboard a paddle steamer, help settler Sven-Erik build his house or go horseback riding like a true cowboy or cowgirl. There are lots of exciting things to experience at High Chaparral.
High Chaparral is known for its many shows with breathtaking stunts, brilliantly coloured dances, comedy, song and music. The actors and stunt performers ensure unforgettable experiences for children and adults alike.

Lucky Luke draws his revolver faster than his own shadow and always rides into the sunset. Zorro is known for his grand entrances and striking sword skills. Sven-Erik Johanson is a clever and cunning builder.

There's always plenty going on at High Chaparral. That is something you'll notice as soon as you enter the park. There's never a quiet moment, and there's always something fun going on. Some days feature special seasonal events and Midsummer was celebrated in style with maypole dancing, strawberry cream cakes and the girls were wearing flower coronets. It was an amazing two day adventure.

Incredibly sad to learn of the tragic passing of dear friend & colleague, Alex Masterson.

He had a wonderful sense of humour, a keen interest in birdlife & was a good human.
May his dear soul rest in peace.

So sad to hear about the passing of Margaret. Such a cheerful and kind person with a no nonsence attitude. Fun to ride with and always took good care of my dogs at Pet Hilton. What a loss to Bulawayo.

Appeal from BULAWAYO SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS

Knowing that the lockdown has given folk time to sort out cupboards, garages etc - please have a look at our Charity Shop List and our Kennel Wish List - you may be surprised how many unwanted items to you - are just what we are needing here at the kennels!

Shop
All the volunteers who work at the charity shop deserve a big pat on the back, but they DO need items to sell! - apparently the shelves are rather bare, so they would appreciate any unwanted saleable household goods, such as ornaments, glassware, crockery, pictures, clothing, garden tools, small items of furniture, jam jars for the jam makers! - in fact anything they can sell to make money to help the kennels.
They have Ecocash for convenience - items can be dropped off at the Charity shop - 127e, Robert Mugabe Way.

Kennel and Clinic Wish List
If folk could donate any one of these items, that would be fantastic!
Old blankets and towels, Newspapers,Tinned + Dried Pet Food for Dogs and Cats, Fly Smear, Old Crepe Bandages, Latex Gloves, Face Masks, Paper Towels, Disinfectant Wipes, Antiseptic Wound Spray, Dressings, Toys for Cats, Cat Carriers, Dog Boxes or Cages, Fly Spray, Bolt Cutters, Brooms both Soft and Stiff, Disposable Aprons, off cuts of Foam Rubber to cover donkey harnesses... all can be dropped off at the Kennels, cnr of Magazine and Khami Road - if you can donate just one of these items... it will improve the welfare of at least one animal - Thank You!

Both were riveting and enchanting - must reads for anyone with African roots, and indeed for everyone who loves a really good novel!!
