Tucked away, up on a slope in Walters Road, Hilton you will find artist and author, Mariánne Eriksson the owner of Hillberry Art Gallery. This Pretoria born artist and fine art graduate spent around a decade immersed in studying and painting in Paris. She has had ten successful one man exhibitions which received positive reviews from the media in South Africa.
Mariánne enjoys working from her studio with its views across the Winterskloof Valley and onwards to Pietermaritzburg. She notes that since relocating to the Midlands her studies have softened. She is leaning toward use of a gentler palette and her work appears lighter and cooler since being inspired by the local misty clime.
Cut back on your Easter binge and invest instead in a beautiful, original Eriksson pastel, acrylic or watercolour. All the works noted below will be on sale over the Easter weekend at a massively reduced 50% of the listed price!
It was a bit disappointing that we had only ten rinks instead of the usual twelve for the IF Trips last Friday. Please remember that this event takes place on the first Friday of each month and we count on our regular supporters to turn up. Kindly advise Dave Garrard on 033 343 4246 if you cannot play.
Winners on Friday were Jack Allen, Dave Hammond and Andy Hitchcock. In second place were Jean and John Pluke and their trusty lead, John Bayley. We express our very sincere thanks to Investment Facilitators for their welcome and on-going sponsorship.
The first of our main club trophy tournaments, the Charles Prickett Cup was contested on Saturday morning.

The Quarry SuperSpar not only donated very generous vouchers and wine for the winners but also provided lunch for almost forty people. It is difficult to thank Spar adequately for their wonderful support for our club.

A Hilton College production - The play begins in Spain, where our main character Pizarro, is recruiting men for an expedition to Peru. He is accompanied by his second-in-command, a Catholic priest determined to spread the shining light of Christianity. At the beginning of the voyage Pizarro is obsessed with chivalry, glory and honour, but becomes increasingly disillusioned throughout, as a crisis of faith also unravels.
The Spanish expedition, hungry for gold, invades Peru. Heartlessly they massacre 3,000 Incas and take captive, Atahualpa the king of Incas and son of the Sun god. Instead of killing him, Pizarro makes a deal with Atahualpa that if he fills an entire room with objects made from gold in two months, he will be set free. The story unfolds with the narration of Old Martin and ends in tragedy fuelled by obsessive faith and greed.
The expedition is predominantly in the name of gold, religion and belief; all Incas being heathens who must be brought before God. The play critically studies these two themes throughout the discovery of Atahualpa - the Inca Sun God - and massacre of the Incas themselves.

Mid-March normally signals a drop in the average daily temperature, particularly in the KZN Midlands. I have found that it is also the ideal time to get your vegetable garden going again.We have found, in our almost 30 years of living in Hilton, that growing veggies in the heat of summer with the consistent rain and mist is difficult. There are bugs galore, all sorts of fungi and plenty of weeds.
From mid-March it gets cooler, less misty and rains start easing off. This results in less bugs to munch your precious veggies, the possibility of fungi is reduced and there are also less weeds.
I hear you thinking "Why grow veggies when the pesky monkeys are going to demolish them?"
My best advice is to build a protective structure over your veggie garden. This can be a steel or treated pole structure, covered with steel mesh or shadecloth. Treated poles (CCA) covered with 10-15% shadecloth will give protection from monkeys, birds, hail and, to some degree, insects. You don't need a very large structure. In fact a covered area of just 3m x 6m would be quite adequate to supply a family with lovely, fresh vegetables.
If you are unable to do it yourself, I have the number of a very able handyman who can assist.
If you are serious about producing your own organic, healthy and fresh veggies, then investing in such a protective structure will be more than worthwhile. Get it done. You won't regret it.We have a lot of compost and chicken manure in stock to help you get your vegetable gardens going, and if you need any advice, please feel free to pop in and chat to me.
So the good news it that I survived the Three Cranes Challenge last weekend – 109 km in 3 days traversing the Karkloof Mountain range.
The bad news is that we have to close the nursery again for a few days to allow us to tackle our next adventure. This time the whole family is going on a canoe trip down the Orange River in the Augrabies Falls area.The nursery will be closed from Saturday, 14, to Wednesday, 18 March. We hope this closure does not inconvenience you.
