De-tox weekend Tulbagh

We had a wonderful weekend , yet again, at the Blue Butterfly in Tulbagh. The mornings and evenings were crispy cold but the days were warm and relaxing. The energy of the great group of people, mixed with the tranquil surroundings, made for a relaxing yet energising weekend ! Many thanks to all in the group for all your energy and input ! I attach a few photos for your viewing :)
