Hi Chris,
I hope all is going
well at the little paradise farm. I have to
tell you guys a little story.
I was chatting to Jack after my
Dad died, and was asking him where he thought his granpa was.
He thought for a while and
said that he was in heaven having fun. I was quite amazed at
his answer as he is so young. I then asked him where he thought
heaven was, and without any hesitation he said Blanco Farm.
So
now that is why we come to our little heaven on earth.
Cheers, Gregg |

Blanco skies are brilliantly blue and clear. A National Geographic study found
the climate of this area to be one of the healthiest in the world. The air is
clean and invigorating and each season of the year has its own special charm.
While summer is warm and balmy, winter is crisp and bracing, with temperatures
averaging minus 2 deg. C. Snow is very much a part of winter and on most mornings,
frost covers the lawns. |

Much socializing is done in the Blanc - O, our unique bar where guests
bring their own liquor and cool drinks, and where each cottage is
allocated their own locker and fridge space. The Blanco-O is a great
place to meet new guests and establish friendships. Adjoining the
bar is the snooker room, which also houses a dartboard. |
