ADVERTS TO BE SUBMITTED BY MONDAYS AT 5 P.M +++++++ It has long been an axiom of mine that the little things are infinitely the most important. - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle - +++++++ May the beauty you love be what you do. - Rumi - +++++ Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time, and always start with the person nearest you. - Mother Teresa - +++++ Editorial APRIL RHAPSODY How I love April, of course starting with the first day of April, 'All Fools Day' I am the biggest fool of all and love to play practical jokes. As a child I would get any amount of entertainment from a whoopee cushion, a stink bomb and those gigantic play-play tarantulas!! Nothing has changed and I scheme for days to invent new pranks to play on HeeHoo!! Of course April is probably the start of our winter, and remembering those days of childhood birthday parties, SheHooMustRun was born in April, and it was never warm enough for swimming parties. Borrow Street Pool also closes this month; it's been a pretty cold winter so far, thanks to our extraordinary glorious rainy season!! April is also the month for planting spring and winter blooms and my gardens is always a hive of activity as we rip out the old, turn and compost the beds furiously, and plant the new seedlings. This year its cosmos, iceberg poppies, calendula, dwarf sweet peas, cineraria and Namaqualand Daisies. April is also auspicious because of that age-old favorite - The International Trade Fair. That was the place to be during those balmy fall days, hats and gloves in the old, old days, wandering around the Fair Spire, seeing and being seen!! Visiting the cattle pens, the sheep and pigpens, hanging around the 'Coca Cola' Fountain eating Eskies ice cream and Hamburgers!! Oh those were glorious days, and I have on good authority that its time to get those Traders Days tickets and begin frequenting that special place once again!!! April is also 'Cassia' time, and these elegant trees with their fragrant cascading yellow blooms, are a real sight for sore eyes. Travel down Cecil Avenue from the Esigodini Road to Hillside Road, and with all your senses, inhale their glory. April is also a pretty bitty month for industry. All the holidays that we love so much, play havoc with business. ....... Independence Day, Easter is in April too this year and coincides with Independence Day. Then there is May Day on the First of May...... Time to dust out those duvets, close the windows against the chilly winds, and get some firewood laid in the fireplace. Time to dust off those trusty boots, darn the holes in the socks, and air those woolies that have been nestling in moth balls all summer long. Yay I love winter in Zimbabwe. Bitterly cold in the morning and evenings, but by midday, we must have the best, toastiest climate in the entire world!!! +++++ 2) Notices and Events STEAM TRAIN TRIP TO FIGTREE-MOTHERS' DAY - SUNDAY, 11th MAY NRZ are planning another of their popular day outings behind a steam locomotive.

WEDNESDAY 16 April in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. 'Ben-Hur', first released as long ago as 1959, is one of the most famous films of all time and widely considered one of the greatest too. It won a record 11 Academy Awards films, an accomplishment that was not equalled until 'Titanic' in 1997 and then again by 'The Return of the King' in 2003 and it will be shown in a ere-mastered, high-definition version. 'Magnificent, inspiring, awesome, enthralling, and all the other adjectives you have been reading about it.' [Los Angeles Times, 25 November 1959] Admission: $3.00 [free to film members] Supper available during the interval ($6.00) - must be ordered in advance. SHAKESPEARE: RICHARD II Thursday 24 April in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m. 'The Hollow Crown' is a lavish series of filmed adaptations of four of Shakespeare's history plays - Richard II, both parts of Henry IV and Henry V - made by the BBC in 2012 as part of the 'cultural Olympics'. The films, chronicling a bloody tale of family, politics and power and shot entirely on location, won outstanding reviews and will be shown over the next three months. The four plays cover the reigns of three kings and show how they shaped English history. Admission: $3.00 [free to film members] Supper available during the interval ($6.00) - must be ordered in advance. BLENDED 328 - LIVE! Friday 25 April in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.00 p.m Blended 328 is an eight-member country band form the USA who, 'crashing on the Nashville music scene in December of 2011, quickly became a local favourite, performing sold out shows. In January, Blended 328 was chosen as "What's Hot for 2012" by Campus Activities Magazine and began touring the college circuit. The Nashville Scene has described Blended 328 as "Country music for the World". The eight-member band (vocals, fiddle, bass, guitar, drums) sincerely has a global vision to initiate positive change in the world by breaking down racial barriers and promoting equality, respect, inclusion and peace through country music." Admission free! MEYERBEER: ROBERT LE DIABLE Friday 2 May in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. Meyerbeer died 150 years ago on 2 May 1864 When 'Robert le Diable' opened at the Paris Opera in 1831 it was an immediate success. Its blend of romance, the supernatural and grand spectacle was perfectly judged to meet the tastes of the French public and it made Meyerbeer the star composer of grand opera. Laurent Pelly's new staging draws on the art and architecture of the Middle Ages to recreate a world of carousing knights, jousting tournaments, courtly dances and supernatural visions. The action is propelled by a battle between good and evil, as Robert's genuine love for Isabelle, expressed in tender duets, is threatened by the malevolent influence of the deceptively charming Bertram. Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available during the interval ($10.00) ++++ 3) Congratulations Tim and Helen White are thrilled to announce the engagement of their eldest daughter, Ash, to Chris, second son of Gerard and Sandra McAndrew, of Sudbury, Canada.

The volume that is in his hands was given to him and if there is anyone in the family that went out to Rhodesia/Zimbabwe that is interested in their family history he would like to pass on the kindness. The volume describes someone called Frances Leslie Hadfield, born in Middx in 1973 as dying in Bulawayo in March 1966 but also mentions that he was a Minister in New Zealand and went to Rhodesia as a missionary in 1906. He was reported in 1910 to be a missionary in Rhodesia and may also have worked in South Africa. He may have had a real estate business and may also have been a stonemason. The history volume also says he was an MP in Rhodesia and got an MBE. To give some idea, There seem to have been 4 children of the original immigrant: 1. Douglas Leslie Hadfield (1896-1982) DL had a hardware, paint and tool shop in Bulawayo, was a lay preacher and built several houses on his property just outside Bulawayo. His own house may have been sold in 2001. His wife was called Vonna (nee Phillips)and they returned to New Zealand where he was born (in Wanganui) in 1964 and lived in Auckland, Matamata and Nelson. They had a daughter called Joan (Yvonne Joan)(m: Frederic Norval Sanders) and sons Philip Cecil Hadfield (1023-2000) (who married Ruth Yvonne Bowen) and Alan Douglas Hadfield (1926-1997) (who it seems married his brother's sister, Verna Jean Bowen). Philip and Alan had a number of children in the 1940s and 1950s in Bulawayo: Philip Cecil's 3 children included Frances (Frank) Douglas Hadfield , Anthony John Hadfield (M: Ann Louise Meredith) - ch: Colin Tony Hadfield(M: Ursula Louise Lottering) and Luann Kyle (m Roger William Hatten), Gavin Philip Hadfield and Richard Arthur Hadfield (m: Valerie Leslie Richardson). Alan Douglas had 5 children, Gail Anne (m: David Ninian Du Chemin), Charles Alan Hadfield (m: Jacqualine Helen Burke), Donald Andrew Hadfield (m: Ramona Patricia Wilson), Neil Adrian Hadfield (m: Rochelle Ann-Marie Van Staden) and Brian Alister Hadfield (adopted) 2. Gladys Muriel (m: James William Claasens) 3. Lily Joyce (m: Norman Edward Summersgill) 4. Roland William (1914 -1997) (m: Florence Joyce Davies) There are lots of more recent descendants, too numerous to mention here. If you do know any of the family do feel free to pass this on to them and if they are interested in getting a copy of the family history from my London contact, Matt Hadfield, his email address is m_hadfield_2000@yahoo.co.uk ++++ 20) Situations Wanted and Situations Vacant SEEKING EMPLOYMENT Young gentleman seeks employments as a lodge manager, reservations clerk or a house-keeper in a hotel or lodge.

You know ... time has a way of moving quickly and catching you unaware of the passing years It seems just yesterday that I was young, just married and embarking on my new life with my mate. Yet in a way, it seems like eons ago, and I wonder where all the years went. I know that I lived them all. I have glimpses of how it was back then and of all my hopes and dreams. But, here it is... the 'back nine' of my life and it catches me by surprise...How did I get here so fast? Where did the years go and where did my youth go? I remember well seeing older people through the years and thinking that those older people were years away from me and that 'I was only on the first hole' and the 'back nine' was so far off that I could not fathom it or imagine fully what it would be like. But, here it is...my friends are retired and getting gray...they move slower and I see an older person now. Some are in better and some worse shape than me...but, I see the great change...Not like the ones that I remember who were young and vibrant...but, like me, their age is beginning to show and we are now those older folks that we used to see and never thought we'd become. Each day now, I find that just getting a shower is a real target for the day! And taking a nap is not a treat anymore... it's mandatory! Cause if I don't on my own free will.. I just fall asleep where I sit! And so...now I enter into this new season of my life unprepared for all the aches and pains and the loss of strength and ability to go and do things that I wish I had done but never did!! But, at least I know, that though I'm on the 'back nine', and I'm not sure how long it will last...this I know, that when it's over on this earth...it's over. A new adventure will begin! Yes, I have regrets. There are things I wish I hadn't done...things I should have done, but indeed, there are many things I'm happy to have done. It's all in a lifetime. So, if you're not on the 'back nine' yet...let me remind you, that it will be here faster than you think. So, whatever you would like to accomplish in your life please do it quickly! Don't put things off too long!! Life goes by quickly. So, do what you can today, as you can never be sure whether you're on the 'back nine' or not! You have no promise that you will see all the seasons of your life...so, live for today and say all the things that you want your loved ones to remember...and hope that they appreciate and love you for all the things that you have done for them in all the years past!! "Life" is a gift to you. The way you live your life is your gift to those who come after. Make it a fantastic one. LIVE IT WELL! ENJOY TODAY! DO SOMETHING FUN! BE HAPPY ! HAVE A GREAT DAY Remember "It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver. LIVE HAPPY IN 2014! LASTLY, CONSIDER THIS: Your kids are becoming you......but your grandchildren are perfect! Going out is good.. Coming home is better! You forget names.... But it's OK because other people forgot they even knew you!!! You realize you're never going to be really good at anything.... especially golf. The things you used to care to do, you no longer care to do, but you really do care that you don't care to do them anymore. You sleep better on a lounge chair with the TV blaring than in bed. It's called "pre-sleep". You miss the days when everything worked with just an "ON" and "OFF" switch.. You tend to use more 4 letter words ... "what?"..."when?"...' Now that you can afford expensive jewelry, it's not safe to wear it anywhere. You notice everything they sell in stores is "sleeveless"?!!! What used to be freckles are now liver spots. Everybody whispers. You have 3 sizes of clothes in your closet.... 2 of which you will never wear. But Old is good in some things: Old Songs, Old movies, and best of all, OLD FRIENDS!! Stay well, "OLD FRIEND!" Send this on to other "Old Friends!" and let them laugh in AGREEMENT!!! It's Not What You Gather, But What You Scatter That Tells What Kind Of Life You Have Lived. TODAY IS THE OLDEST YOU'VE EVER BEEN, YET THE YOUNGEST YOU'LL EVER BE, SO ENJOY THIS DAY WHILE IT LASTS. ++++++ The content that is published in Morning Mirror does not necessarily reflect the editor's opinion.
