❤️ MAG ONS DORPIE BEKEND STAAN VIR EEN DING:
“HIER GROET ONS MEKAAR.”
Mag ’n besoeker wat deur ons strate ry, dit raaksien.
Mag ’n vreemdeling hier welkom voel.
Mag ’n eensame mens hier raakgesien word.
Mag ons kinders leer dat vriendelikheid nie swakheid is nie, maar krag.
En mag elkeen van ons besef:
Ons weet nooit watter verskil ’n eenvoudige groet in iemand se dag – of selfs in iemand se lewe – kan maak nie.
🌿 Begin vandag.
Groet iemand.
Waai vir iemand.
Glimlag vir iemand.
Erken iemand.
Want dalk is jou eenvoudige “Goeiedag” presies wat iemand vandag nodig gehad het.
Hier groet ons mekaar. ❤️

THIS IS A PUBLIC AWARENESS POST -
PLEASE BABOON PROOF YOUR BUSINESSES

Most of the businesses in Pringle Bay have baboon proofed their premises. We highly commend them for this.

We have all chosen to live and work in a biosphere where we share our living space with all kinds of wild animals. We are privileged to do so.

Forget about the rhetoric that the baboons belong in the mountains the baboons have walked through the village of Pringle Bay for decades. The are more frequent sightings of them, they are more obvious now, because there is less natural foliage to hide in, this is an obvious conclusion.

There are also not more baboons than before. The same small number of baboons of baboons has always lived in Pringle Bay.

Baboons are highly intelligent and opportunistic creatures. If they do not have to spend hours foraging and simply have to walk into a shop to help themselves to some bananas or other food they will. And they will return time and time again.

There are many associated problems with this. People are naturally scared of baboons, they do not want to encounter a baboon whilst in a shop. Therefore, before an unfortunate incident occurs please baboon proof your shop.

We have to ask, why do the majority of shop owners in Pringle Bay make sure that the baboons cannot get into their shops and the minority refuses to abide by the rules of living and working in a baboon area?

Why do some businesses insist on putting their crumbs outside? Or worse insist on feeding the birds? The baboons eat the crumbs and the bird seed.

This failure to baboon proof your shops and failure to stop feeding the baboons is not fair for the community as a whole and it certainly is not fair for the baboons.

Think of the community as a whole.

Do better for everyone’s sake.

BUT EVERYONE LIVING IN PRINGLE BAY WILL KNOW THAT‼️

TWO COOKIES — MAKE ONE. GIVE ONE.

We're giving our young bakers two perfectly equal portions of cookie dough.

One is yours.
One is for somebody you've never met.

Then the fun begins…

Will they stay the same size? Will the “mine” cookie mysteriously grow a little bigger? Will the cookie you're giving away get all the best sprinkles? Will some dough mysteriously disappear before it reaches the oven? Or will you decide that somebody else deserves the biggest cookie of all?

There are no judges. No winners. No losers.

Because kindness isn't a competition.

Shape them. Decorate them. We'll bake them fresh at the market. Take one home and leave one behind to begin its journey to somebody else.

And if you desperately need two cookies for yourself? That's easy — buy another pack. You'll get another two equal portions: one for you, and another one to give.

🍪 R50 per pack — two portions of dough, decorating goodies and baking included.

Saturday 12 September | 09:00–15:00
De Wet Saal, Onrus
Final cookies accepted at 14:00.

Limited packs available — pre-orders recommended.

It might only be a cookie.
But to somebody else, it might be your cookie.
