Half a dozen great reads. Plus a JILLY COOPER! Swoon. 

Thousands of 50-plus women around the world are feeling flushed. 

Nope ... not menopause. It’s the rakish Rupert Campbell-Black - the 

handsomest man in England. We fell for him way back in 1985 in Riders 

... and he’s back. This time he’s off his (high) horse and buying a football 

club to appease his daughter Bianca, who wants him to sign up her 

superstar striker boyfriend. There are explosive fights and ravishing girls 

and glamorous WAGS (all of whom lust after Rupe, obvs). All scandals, 

sabotage and seductions ... Tackle! is pure Jilly Cooper hedonistic bliss.

In The Secret, Jack Reacher, 

recently demoted from Major, 

is assigned to investigate the 

death of a hospital patient 

who, after being asked some 

questions by two strangers, falls 

to his death from his hospital 

room window. Office politics, a 

cold-blooded killer, a long kept 

secret. We know Reacher will 

bring the bad guys to justice. 

But as always with Lee Child 

and Andrew Child’s hero, the 

question is will he do it the 

official way, or his way? Bantam 

A city in turmoil. A deadly 

conspiracy. And a race against 

time. Jeffery Deaver’s The 

Watchmaker’s Hand sees Lincoln 

Rhyme and Amelia Sachs 

investigate the crane that crashed 

down in Manhattan, sending 

panic across New York, and, 

according to the NYPD, sabotage 

arranged by a political group. And 

watching the investigation from 

the shadows is the elusive assassin 

The Watchmaker. Loads of twists 

to keep you guessing. Harper

A retired spy. A silver-haired book

series. Penguin 

In Just Between Us, by Adele 

Parks, a woman is missing ... a 

woman who has been living 

a secret life, married to two 

men, one of whom is the 

main suspect. In a small village 

some distance away, another 

woman lives with her father, 

who’s caring for her while she 

recovers from illness. These 

two stories collide in a way you 

just don’t see coming. Only on 

finishing this terrific read did 

we discover it’s the sequel to 

Both of You ... you don’t need 

to have read that first to enjoy 

this, but we wish we had. 

Double the enjoyment! HQ 

If you read C.M. Ewan’s The 

Interview, you know you’re 

in for a thrilling read with

A foodie affair 

What a buzz there was at Jacksons Real Food Market in 

Bryanston, when the community gathered for a Food 

and Wine Tasting Evening. Walking through stalls and 

discovering new wines to taste is always such a taste 

bud tease. The Bon Courage Estate’s The Gooseberry 

Bush Sauvignon Blanc 2023 proved to be a great summer 

sipping wine, as was the De Krans A Twist of Fate 2021 - 

lovely bright cherry red in colour with hints of berries in 

flavour … bound to be a festive hit on your drinks trolley. 

While some came for the wine, others enjoyed the food 

tastings, which included Mar canned fish range, Irene’s 

dairy-free cheese and Herbi Vohr plant-based biltong 

bites, along with plenty of other good-for-you foods. 

Familiar local faces supported this sold-out event, with 

a portion of the proceeds going to the local residents’ 

associations for upkeep.

Marion brings 

JOY 

Ever noticed how 

your mood changes 

when you walk into a 

beautiful room? That’s 

precisely why Marion 

Pearce is intrigued by 

décor and design – as 

she’s found, with just 

a few scatters, some 

gorgeous pieces and 

a soothing palette, 

you can transform 

someone’s world. 

Text: LISA WITEPSKI • Photographer: NICOLE MOORE. 

Details: nicolemoorephotography.co.za • Make-up: MAKEUP BY RYNO, 071-688-0242. 

Marion may only have established 

her consultancy, Home With 

Marion Interior Design, in 2020, 

but she was playing around 

with design elements long 

before that – even as a child, she 

would change her room around 

regularly, and it became a habit to 

mentally rearrange the furniture 

of any house she visited. 

Her decision to switch her 

background in business for this 

creative space came about when 

she could no longer ignore her 

fascination with how people 

interact with their spaces – and, 

since the Covid-19 pandemic 

forced us to spend so much 

more time in those spaces, it 

was a fortuitous move. Marion 

completed a diploma and took 

the plunge, turning her hobby 

into a profession at a time when 

most people were deliberately 

playing it safe. “It was scary to 

launch myself into this new space, 

but then again, it was exciting to 

do something that allowed me to 

combine my business experience 


with my love of creativity. Besides, 

people were ready for this type 

of service – because we were all 

at home, many of us were hungry 

for ideas about how to refresh 

our spaces.” 

This is where Marion excels: she is a 

big believer in tweaking what you 

already have, which can often carry 

just as much impact as a costly, 

disruptive renovation. “Although I 

love working from a blank canvas, 

I also relish the challenge of taking 

a tired space and, by applying 

thought and creativity, changing it 

into something fresh and exciting. 

The look of delight on my clients’ 

face when they see the change 

is priceless.” ‘ 

‘Careful thought’ is a key phrase 

here. Although Marion’s approach 

to design is rooted in her belief 

that it’s human nature to desire 

to be surrounded by beauty and 

style, she is also keenly aware 

that there is a scientific aspect 

to design. “It’s about bringing 

the different elements together 

in a calculated way so that you 

end up with a flow, rather than a 

mishmash,” she explains. That’s why 

her designs are influenced not 

only by the space she’s designing, 

but also its context. it’s a good idea 

to ‘keep the house in its shoes’, as 

a French saying goes, and take 

cues from the style and feel of the 

home and its environment. Add in 

pattern and texture, and you have 

a sanctuary that speaks to each 

sense. “I like to layer as I go – you 

don’t want to have a room that 

makes you feel like you’ve fallen 

into a catalogue,” she adds. 

Marion embraces projects that 

challenge her in more than one 

way – where she has to source 

soft furnishings that add the 

perfect finishing touch while also 

overseeing joinery, for instance 

– and she’s looking forward to 

applying her skills to commercial 

spaces in the future. “I love the 

thought of being able to bring 

people joy by giving them the 

advice and insight they need to 

change their space.” 

Treat your guests to 

something sweet and easy to 

eat ... mince pies. R69.99 for a 

pack of 9 from Woolworths. 

Pre-party drinks and food will 

win your guests over. Mix up 

some cocktails or serve up 

your fave bottle of bubbly this 

festive season. Pop a bauble 

in a Martini glass for a fun 

festive party decoration on 

your bar. A cheese board is a 

crowd pleaser. Add fresh fruit, 

walnuts, crackers and most 

important good cheese. Shop 

an array of lovely cheeses from 

babylonstoren.com 


Marion’s guide to festive entertaining 

• Enjoy the festive season! We tend to get stressed 

by worrying about every detail, so remove the angst 

by preparing as far as you can and then going with 

the flow. Remember that your guests aren’t the 

entertainment police – they love you and they’ve 

come to have a good time with you. 

• Forego the traditional Christmas meal. South Africa 

is just too hot! Instead, dish up something light and 

colourful – think salads, prawns, a braai and beautiful 

platters laden with fruit. 

• Get outdoors. Set up a buffet; you can add a touch 

of glamour by adding an outdoor bar and serving 

decadent cocktails. Don’t forget to add a playlist that 

sets the mood. 

• Keep your décor simple. A bit of greenery from 

your garden, like ivy, is highly effective. Candles add 

ambience, and Chinese lanterns hanging from the 

ceiling are magical. 

• Think about your colour scheme. Traditional 

gold, green and red always work well but consider 

something fresh like green and yellow (maybe 

using lemons from your garden), pink and orange or 

even neutrals. 

Let your festive table shine.

Tis the 

season we 

cherry-ish 

You’ll find Cherry Time 

cherries at Pick n Pay, 

or buy online from 

cherrytime.co.za. Follow 

Saadiyah Hendricks 

on Instagram 

@sadiesbubbleofyum 

A sweet edition to savoury dishes. Brilliant for 

baking. A pop of sweet colour in a cocktail. 

The cherry season is short, but it’s gloriously 

delicious. Besides being so scrumptious, 

cherries are also packed with antioxidants 

and contain melatonin (aids sleep), potassium 

(helps prevent hypertension) and B-vitamins 

(boosts the metabolism). Cherry Time cherries 

- harvested over just 10 weeks a year - are 

available now until the end of this month ... 

so take advantage. 

CHERRY-INFUSED PANNA COTTA WITH TOASTED 

COCONUT AND CHERRY-TOFFEE SHARD 

The delicate essence of cherries is on fine display 

in this sophisticated dessert, created by Saadiyah 

Hendricks. Understated and subtle, the luscious 

custard is a perfect base for the explosion of 

sweet, nutty texture on top. 

For the cherry-infused panna cotta, you will need: 

1 cup pitted and halved Cherry Time cherries, 

3 cups cream, 1 cup full-cream milk, 3/4 cups 

caster sugar, 1 tsp vanilla essence or the seeds 

from 1 vanilla pod, 1 Tbsp gelatine dissolved in 

1/3 cup boiling water 

For the topping, you will need: 1/4 cup pitted and 

halved Cherry Time cherries, 1/4 cup desiccated 

coconut, 200g caster sugar 

To garnish: Fresh cherries 

To make: For the panna cotta, place all the 

ingredients except the gelatine and cherries in 

a medium saucepan and bring to the boil on 

medium heat. Remove from heat, whisk in the 

dissolved gelatine and then 1 cup of cherries, 

gently pounding the cherries for two to three 

minutes, allowing the fruit to infuse into the 

milk. Strain to remove cherry pieces and pour 

into individual dishes or moulds and allow to 

cool completely before placing in the fridge 

overnight to set. 

To make the topping, preheat the oven to 

180°C. Spread the coconut on a baking tray 

and place in the oven for five minutes or until 

lightly toasted. Remove and allow to cool while 

preparing the toffee. 

For the toffee, place the sugar in a saucepan 

on medium heat and allow to melt, stirring 

to distribute the heat evenly. Once the sugar 

has dissolved and turned amber, remove from 

the heat and stir in the quarter cup of cherries. 

Quickly pour the cherry toffee onto a silicone 

mat and spread it out using an offset spatula. 

Sprinkle the coconut over the spread toffee and 

allow to cool completely. Once cool, break the 

toffee into shards by tapping with a sharp knife. 

When ready to serve, decorate the panna cotta 

with toffee shards and fresh cherries. 


Sip, sip hooray 

Julian Naik loves wines ... and enjoys nothing more than 

sharing his passion with other would-be vinophiles. 

Text: LISA WITEPSKI • Photos: MEGAN BRETT • Location: PROUD MARY, ROSEBANK 

To organise 

your tasting, 

contact julian@ 

spiritsandbubbles.co.za. 

Tastings start at 

R2 500 for 

10 people. 

A few years ago, Julian Naik was happily 

ensconced in a corporate career, 

sipping on beer and the occasional 

big brand wine. Now, as co-founder of 

Spirits & Bubbles, he’s become an eager 

advocate for South Africa’s heritage 

estates – and he’s eager to share both 

his learnings and his passion with other 

would-be vinophiles. 

Don’t know your merlot from your 

malbec? Here’s a little secret. You’re not 

alone. True, our wines might be highly 

regarded throughout the world, but 

for every person who likes to sniff and 

twirl their glass, commenting on the 

fragrance of leather and old couch, 

there’s another whose knowledge stops 

at the fact that they prefer red to white. 

The problem, says Julian, is that those 

of us who don’t know much are so 

intimidated by those who do, that 

we’re reluctant to ask the questions 

that will get us ordering the perfect 

wine, every time. That’s why he loves 

setting up private tasting functions – 

so that he can educate wine lovers, just 

as his own palate has been schooled. 

Julian’s journey started back in 2014, 

when he received a call from a friend 

he’d met during a work experience 

stint in London. “He was working for a 

company that exported drinks to Africa, 

and was looking for someone who 

could open a door to the South African 

market,” he recalls. 

Although Julian didn’t know much 

about the industry at the time, he was 

quick to accept the challenge. Leaving 

his job in risk management, he set 

up Spirits & Bubbles to import and 

distribute premier drinks to a market 

looking for new experiences. The 

company’s first product was a tequila. 

Then, it added Masottina, known to 

produce the world’s best Prosecco, to 

the portfolio. 


It was when Cape Site Specific – 

a conglomerate of winemakers 

specialising in small batch, site specific 

wines – joined Spirits & Bubbles that 

Julian’s imagination was truly ignited. 

“There is something incredibly special 

about these wines. It’s not just that 

they’re delicious – that’s a given. You 

can taste the love in every bottle 

– and the heritage, too, as some of 

these wines are made by families 

who have lived on the same farm 

since the 1600s.” Each sip is redolent 

of the hospitality of the winelands, 

Julian adds: “I always joke that I’ll be in 

trouble if I visit Durban and I don’t pop 

in on my relatives – but that’s nothing 

compared to the grief I receive if I go 

to the winelands and don’t visit our 

winemakers.” Nor is a visit just a few 

hours of chatting and tasting – often, it 

turns into an all-day affair. 

This is the spirit which Julian hopes 

to convey through his wine tastings. 

He explains that these became 

more popular during the Covid-19 

pandemic ... as lockdowns eased, 

people were reluctant to mix in large 

groups, but still wanted to enjoy a 

social occasion. Initially, the company 

teamed up with restaurants to host 

small groups, but as word spread, 

many people started asking if they 

could host their own tastings at home. 

Julian says that the popularity of the 

events is on the up, as Joburgers 

are enthusiastically embracing wine 

culture. “Once, we would have stuck 

to the names we knew. But with 

restaurants like Acid and Proud Mary 

creating a platform for smaller, lesser 

known estates, we’re becoming more 

willing to try different estates and 

different varietals.” That’s good news, 

he adds. “One of our winemakers 

reckons that although South African 

wines are very well-priced at present 

– you’d pay around double for a wine 

of the same quality in, say Napa – we 

have only 10 years or so until the 

industry catches up to the rest of the 

world.” 

The beauty of our market is that “most 

South African wines are good – you 

actually have to look quite hard to 

find a bad wine”. But, of course, when 

you know more, you can make better 

choices. That’s why Spirits & Bubbles 

tastings concentrate on getting you 

to try wines you might otherwise 

overlook, explaining what makes 

them taste unique (think terroir, 

climate and all of those professional 

sounding things), and giving you a 

basis of comparison. For example, 

your tasting usually includes around 

five different wines (any more than 

that, and your palate will get too 

tired to pick up the differences 

between them), so you can choose 

different wines from a single estate, 

or the same varietal from different 

estates. The choice is yours – which is 

kind of the point, Julian explains. “Our 

events are entirely customisable. You 

can host your tasting at a restaurant, 

which is great because we’ll work 

with the team to create a great 

food pairing, or you can have it at 

your house, where it might be more 

intimate and comfortable.” If that’s 

your go-to, Spirits & Bubbles can 

provide the glassware (important, 

because the wrong glass can change 

the taste of the wine) and even 

advise on food – did you know, 

for instance, that garlic and chililaced 

dishes are a no-no, because 

these flavours drown out the wine’s 

properties, while pizza is actually a 

great pairing food? 

Eventually, Julian would love to 

establish his own venue to educate 

wine lovers – not an academy, 

exactly, but a place where people 

who appreciate what goes into each 

bottle have the chance to meet, 

mingle and toast. Cheers to that! 

Julian’s top three tipples for the festive season 

Although Julian would happily recommend all the bubbly in the Spirits & 

Bubbles portfolio, these bubbles get a special thumbs up for summer sipping: 

• Benguela Cove Estate Collage (R300): Bold, heavy-bodied, complex and full 

of delicious dark fruit, this is a true homage to Old World French-style wine – 

best enjoyed with steak. 

• R. D. O. Levante 2022 Extra Dry (R500): A powerful fruity aroma. In the mouth 

it is lively, saline and well structured with hints of quinces, lemons and herbs 

leaving a lingering finish. 

• Paul René Brut Rose (R250): A beautiful pink hue with notes of strawberry, 

candy floss and fine spicy notes. The wine opens with expansive cherry and 

almond on the palate and finishes with fine minerality.

DANCE TO A GLASS 

Pairing music with wine is like creating the ultimate mixtape for your palate. 

It’s all about finding the perfect harmony between the flavours of your 

favourite bottle of wine and the beats of the music. Here are a few reasons to create 

an unforgettable experience that’ll make your taste buds dance. 

EMOTIONAL SYMPHONY: Music has 

an enchanting way of touching our 

souls, and when paired with the right 

wine, it creates a beautiful symphony 

of emotions. Picture yourself enjoying 

a rich, velvety Merlot while belting out 

power ballads like a rockstar. Embrace 

the rollercoaster of feelings and let the 

harmony of music and wine take you 

on an unforgettable journey! 

INTENSITY AND COMPLEXITY: 

You know those songs that hit you 

like a lightning bolt and leave you 

speechless? Well, it’s time to pair them 

with wines that are equally intense and 

complex. Picture yourself sipping on 

a robust Cabernet Sauvignon while 

listening to a symphony that takes you 

on a rollercoaster of emotions. It’s like 

a full-on sensory explosion that’ll have 

you shouting Encore! 

TEMPO AND STYLE: We’re talking 

about getting your groove on here, 

so let’s match the tempo and 

style of the music with the wine’s 

personality. High-energy and toetapping 

tunes call for wines that 

can keep up with the rhythm. 

Think zesty Sauvignon Blanc 

or a sweet white wine like 

Natural Sweet White 

by Robertson Winery, 

that’ll make your taste 

buds boogie with 

its luscious notes of 

tropical fruits and 

honeyed sweetness. 

If you’re in the mood 

for something smooth 

and soulful, reach for 

a mellow Chardonnay 

that’ll sway with you like a 

slow dance partner. 

REGIONAL RENDEZVOUS: Just like wines have their roots in 

specific regions, different music genres have a cultural flavour of 

their own. Take a sensory safari through South Africa’s wine regions 

with a glass of crisp and refreshing Chenin Blanc, known as the 

country’s “white gold,” while indulging in the soothing sounds of 

Cape Jazz or contemporary Afrikaans pop. Or venture into the 

vineyards of Robertson and enjoy the soft fruity and floral flavours 

of Natural Sweet Red by Robertson Winery while basking in the 

lively tunes of Afrobeats or Cape Town’s iconic Ghoema music. 

LET YOUR TASTE BUDS PARTY: Remember, this is your 

party, so let your taste buds be your guide. Feel free to mix 

and match, experiment, and trust your gut (or rather, your 

palate). There are no right or wrong pairings when it 

comes to having fun and exploring the world of music 

and wine. So go ahead, be the DJ of your own taste 

experience, and let the good times roll! 

“Raise a glass and turn up the volume on a music and 

wine pairing adventure! It’s all about creating a party 

for your senses, where flavours and melodies come 

together to create pure magic,” says Mpho Maroga of 

Robertson Winery. 

To get you started, Maroga suggests trying the 

Robertson Winery Sweet Beats playlist on the Spotify.

RICH IN HERITAGE 

Explore pockets of leisure worth every penny within the heart of Sandton. 

Escape within the city 

The richest square mile in Africa - 

streets that buzz with vibrant city 

living and stunning skylines - is 

what we expect from Sandton. 

But when we stayed over at Protea 

by Marriott Hotel Johannesburg 

Balalaika Sandton, we were 

pleasantly surprised to experience 

more of an escape within the city 

of country style living, heritage and 

a sense of tranquility. 

From the lobby, with its vintage 

allure, to the scents that waft 

over from the cakes at Coffee on 

Twenty, from quenching your 

thirst at The Lords Bar to popping 

over to The Bull Run for a steak 

or making your way one floor 

down to The Marc to indulge in a 

shopping experience … this is the 

central point that leads to pockets 

of leisure. What you don’t expect 

to find walking outside into the 

courtyard is a gorgeous garden 

popping with colours, from the 

colourful flower beds to the infull-bloom 

jacaranda trees. There 

are two swimming pools on their 

grounds - the Balalaika Swimming 

Pool designed for poolside lunches, 

and the Crown Court Pool in a 

more private garden area where 

you can lounge, sip cocktails and 

work on your tan. The Conservatory 

Restaurant is the perfect breakfast 

spot … sitting outside on the 

terrace with a bowl of fresh fruit 

and ice cream is a proper Summer 

morning treat. There’s a great 

Destination Lounge & Bar, which 

exudes opulence and the original 

furnishing of rolling ladders and 

centered pool table, and the 

bedrooms, refurbished just a few 

years ago, are all fresh and neat 

… some with balconies, all with 

everything you need for a comfy 

night’s stay. Details: 011-322-5000.

A wealth of good taste 

When you see an enormous bronze bull posing 

outside a restaurant, your first thought is steak 

house. But The Bull Run means business with a name 

taken from a financial term where investments paid 

off. You know what you are in for from their new 

menu, updated on the regular and based on the 

stock exchange … different products and volumes 

are depicted from high and low, indicating growth 

since entering the market and traded in different 

currencies ... Rand, Dollar, Pound and Euros. So, is 

it all business at The Bull Run? We definitely don’t 

think so. The wood burning fire place, plush furniture 

and gorgeous Dollar Bar offering their very own 

craft beer will have you lingering around for a little 

longer than planned. Order something meaty and 

you are in for a treat. 28 days matured, cut ranging 

from 200g to a whopping 600g, it’s the specialty, 

and shows. For lighter options, there’s the new mini 

chicken liver bunny chow, with organic options like 

vegetable curry, roasted mushroom herb orzo and 

a vegan burger. Open from noon until late, daily.

A recent R2-million revamp breathes new life into the Lords Bar watering

resembling 10 Dowing Street, London, you immediately pick up on the royal 

touches and vintage appeal. Leather couches, hanging chandeliers and gold 

framed historic newspaper clippings on the walls. The venue sits on a piece of 

land that once housed a unique tearoom in the 1950s, welcoming travellers 

into Sandton for trade and was one of the first ladies’ bars in the area, and you 

really appreciate its 74 years of legacy. While the wine, cocktail and bar list is 

comprehensive, Mixologists will whip up off-menu cocktails in minutes, and 

on the food side, it’s all very Jozi bar scene … from tapas to jaffels to seafood 

platters to share. And they are not shy on portions or flavour. There’s always 

something new … follow Lords Bar at the Balalaika on Facebook. Open from 

noon until late, daily.

Scoop the plums and onions from the pickling solution and 

place in top of the rocket leaves. 

Serve dressed in sunflower seed dressing. 

Whole Smoked Cauliflower Roast with Plum sauce 

Fruity, smokey cauli ... yum. By Mokgadi Itsweng for 

Juicy Delicious 

You’ll need: 1 Whole med-large cauliflower, 1 litre 

water, 1 tsp salt, 100g smoking wood chips 

Plum Sauce: 500g red plums, halved, pitted, and 

roughly chopped, 100g brown sugar, 200ml rice 

vinegar, juice of 1 lemon, 100ml water, 1 tsp five spice 

powder, 1 Tbsp fresh grated ginger, 1 onion chopped, 

1 tsp cayenne, 40ml soya sauce 

To make: Bring a salted litre of water to a boil, then 

add the whole cauliflower. Boil for 20 minutes, then 

drain and set aside. 

Smoke the cauliflower by placing a hot charcoal disk 

into a small foil container, then adding the wood 

chips. When the chips start smoking, place the foil 

container with the wood chips inside the bottom rack 

of the oven. Place the cauliflower on the rack, directly 

above the smoking chips. Close the oven and allow 

to smoke for 10-15minutes. 

While the cauliflower smokes, make the sauce by 

placing all the sauce ingredients in a saucepan. 

Simmer at medium heat for 25minutes. Blend all the 

ingredients to a smooth sauce. 

Pre heat the oven to 200°C. 

Place the cauliflower on an oven baking tray, then 

baste with half the sauce. Bake for 15minutes, then 

baste with sauce and bake for a further 10 minutes, 

until the cauliflower is nicely browned. 

Serve sliced into steaks with extra plum sauce and 

fresh herbs on top. 

If you’ve a crowd, this pull-apart cheesy 

stone fruit and charcuterie bread will go

Pets can experience heightened stress and anxiety when 

faced with sudden loud noises, storms, fireworks and changes 

in routine. These situations can lead to various behavioural 

issues, from excessive barking and destructive behaviour to 

trembling and restlessness. As we approach the end of the year, 

our calendars are filled with exciting events, and while these 

festivities bring joy to our lives, they can also be a source of stress 

and anxiety for our pets. The experts at Bob Martin’s share some 

great advice to help you manage your pet’s well-being during 

these busy times. 

Including a calming treatment in your pet’s wellness routine is a 

valuable step in ensuring their emotional well-being during times 

of stress and anxiety. However, it should be complemented with 

responsible care practices that prioritise your pet’s comfort and 

mental health. Both of these aspects go hand in hand. 

Calming tablets, collars or spot-ons as a supportive measure 

Calming aids can significantly help ... they provide a sense of calm 

and relaxation, making challenging situations more manageable 

for your pet. 

Responsible pet care While calming aids can be highly effective, 

responsible pet care also entails understanding and respecting 

your pet’s unique needs and preferences. It’s crucial to recognise 

situations that may trigger stress or anxiety and take steps to 

avoid or mitigate them whenever possible. 

Knowing your pet: Get to know your pet’s temperament and 

preferences. Every pet has their individual personality, and some 

may be more sensitive to certain stimuli than others. 

Avoiding high-stress situations: If your pet doesn’t fare 

well in crowded or noisy environments, consider alternative 

arrangements. Instead of taking them to busy places, restaurants, 

or parties, opt for quieter and more pet-friendly settings. 

Creating safe spaces: For particularly anxious pets, creating 

a safe and familiar environment at home can work wonders. 

Providing a comfortable and quiet space where they can retreat 

when they feel overwhelmed allows them to self-soothe and 

reduces stress. 

By taking these steps, you can ensure that your pets live a 

happy and stress-free life, with tail wags all-round. Bob Martin’s 

Calmcare Range harnesses the power of valerian, lavender 

and rosemary to provide a solution for managing stress 

and anxiety in pets. Beyond immediate stress relief, it can 

also assist in addressing underlying behavioural problems.

Travelling with your pet? 5 things to 

consider before em-barking 

When you’re travelling with your pet, there is a whole 

new checklist you need to consider. But it doesn’t have 

to be a nerve wracking experience for either of you 

if you plan ahead and be sure of the steps you need 

to take to ensure the journey is smooth sailing for all 

members of the family. Gavin Miller, Managing Director 

at Marltons, shares his top five tips to consider before 

you go on your holiday. 

Check, check, double-check It goes without saying 

that the most important thing to do before taking 

your pet – no matter what pet it is – is to check if your 

accommodation is pet friendly. Don’t assume that 

just because you’re taking your hamster instead of a 

St Bernard you can simply breeze into your sea facing 

apartment. Nope. Many hotels and resorts have strict 

pet policies, and you need to confirm that non-human 

family members are welcome and catered for. 

Sort out your equipment Every pet, from a budgie to 

a boxer, needs their own special equipment. This starts 

with what they’re actually going to travel in, to where 

they’re going to sleep, to food and containers, to toys. If 

you’re going to take your pet away with you, it is crucial 

to ensure that they’re going to be safe and comfortable 

for every step of the journey. In transit, make sure that 

they are crate-trained in their own area of security to 

ensure that you can drive safely and ensure that you 

have all the leashes, collars or cages sorted for when 

you arrive. 

Pack a pet specific supply kit Have a chat with your 

vet to make sure you have everything necessary in a kit 

for your trip. A general first-aid kit, and then also some 

additional items you may need along the way such 

as waste bags. Pet pit stops are tough to schedule, so 

rather be prepared. Also consider snacks and hydration 

along the way. Pets can easily get dehydrated when 

travelling, so make sure you pack extra water. And toys. 

Don’t forget toys. 

Sort out their identification Life is unpredictable. And 

life on the open road is even more so. An unfamiliar 

place far from home is the very worst place to lose your 

pet. Before you leave make sure they’re easy to find in 

the worst case scenario. Sort out your microchipping 

and make sure their collar tags are up to date. Make it as 

easy as possible for a good Samaritan to return them to 

you in case they do a runner. 

There’s no place like home Yes, you’re going away, 

but your pet doesn’t understand this – all they know 

is the home they live in. Pack their favourite toys, 

blankies, bowls and beds so that once you reach your 

destination they have all the comforts of home around 

them so that they can relax too. 

Holidays can be the best days, and memories made 

that include fur family members are priceless. All it takes 

is some extra planning and patience to make sure your 

time away is an unforgettable experience for all the 

right reasons.

Spreading cheer 

A jolly garden ... masses of vivid leaves, gorgeous 

Christmas roses (which make great gifts) and a herb that packs in flavour 

Text: ALICE COETZEE 

Indoor plant of the month 

Don’t be surprised to see 

hydrangeas standing in as indoor plants 

for the festive season. Also known as Christmas 

roses, pot hydrangeas are perfect for decoration, 

as a thank-you gift or for under the tree. Once it has 

paid its dues indoors, a pot hydrangea can be planted 

out into a patio pot or in the garden to continue growing 

and flowering. The variety being used as an indoor starter 

is Hydrangea ‘Magical Revolution’ that blooms for up to 

six months, from summer through to autumn. It is compact 

with a mature height of 80cm and large flower heads that 

change colour as they age. Cut off the old flowers directly 

under the flower head. As an indoor plant it needs 

bright, indirect light, a cool room and consistently 

moist soil. Feed with a liquid fertiliser once a 

month. When planting out, choose a position 

with semi-shade and plant in composted 

soil that drains well. 

Details: lvgplant.co.za 

Herb of the month 

Thai Basil Siam Queen is spicier than 

normal sweet basil, with a strong clove 

scent. Use it to flavour Thai cuisine, 

curries and stir fries. It is also a beautiful 

bushy plant, growing 40 to 50cm 

tall, with large green leaves, purple 

flowers and stems. Like other basils, 

however, it grows easily from seed and 

likes the same conditions - fertile soil 

that drains easily and up to six hours 

of sun, preferably morning sun and 

afternoon shade. Seed can be sown 

directly into the soil where the basil is 

to grow or germinated in a seed tray 

which is easier to manage. Mist the 

seed trays until the seeds sprout then 

feed the newly germinated seedlings 

with Margaret Roberts Organic 

Supercharger which contains macro 

and micronutrients. Transplant when 

the plants are large enough to handle 

and space 20cm apart. You can start 

harvesting when the plants have six to 

eight true leaves. Details: kirchhoffs.co.za 


We’re planting ... Coleus TrailBlazer, which is a first of its kind trailing coleus for 

cascading out of containers and hanging baskets or as a spreading filler for garden 

beds in semi-shade. Glory Road has vivid red and burgundy leaves in the shape 

of a maple leaf with a bright green edge. Road Trip has rounded velvety leaves in 

deep burgundy with a glowing pink centre and scalloped green edging. It flowers 

very late in the season, or not at all, which allows the plant to put all its energy into 

producing masses of colourful leaves that can spread up to 60cm. These easy to 

grow, low maintenance plant adapts to different light levels from full sun to 

semi-shade and needs only regular watering. Plants in containers or baskets do 

best with morning sun and afternoon shade. Details: ballstraathof.co.za 

Garden tasks for the festive season 

• If you are going away, move plants 

in pots and hanging baskets out of 

the direct sun if possible. Place the 

pots in saucers filled with gravel so 

that water doesn’t drain away. 

• Fertilise flowering plants to give 

them oomph to keep on flowering 

during the midsummer heat. 

• During hot, dry spells water deeply 

and regularly. Renew mulch to keep 

beds cool. 

• There is still time to sow marigolds, 

alyssum, bedding dahlias, California 

poppies portulaca and nasturtiums. 

• Don’t fertilise the lawn if you are 

going away. When returning from 

holiday, reduce the height of the 

lawn gradually. 

• Continue with succession planting 

of tomatoes, beans, carrots, beetroot, 

lettuce, and spinach or Swiss chard. 

• December is peak time for pests. Use 

organic or biological sprays to control 

aphids, white fly and red spider.
