This is the face book page title Mrs Celia Davies - 100th birthday marked in 2015 ++++ Editorial The Hunt for Autumn. Do yourself a favor and follow the route of the Grey Street Cowboys!! Nip down Robert Mugabe Way, past the Revenue Hall, past the Grey's Inn and see the glorious Tulip trees in flower. Our City Fathers surely had an eye for the dramatic!! The African tulip tree, pichkari or Nandi flame, or Spathodea campanulata, also commonly known as the fountain tree. In addition, while you are out driving around Bulawayo to absorb the beauty, drive down Cecil Avenue between Burnside Road and Old Esigodini Road. The Cassias are in full bloom and they are absolutely breathtaking. Their brilliant daffodil yellow colour, as well as their delicious scent, will shake all the cobwebs from your head and definitely stop you feeling bad thoughts!! Also in flower at the moment is the Bottle Brush Tree, with its elegantly drooping boughs groaning under the weight of the brilliant scarlet blooms. Late March and early April are possibly my favorite months, the grass is still fairly green, the Jacarandas are dense and shady, there could still be a promise of late rains, the evenings are cool and the days are not too hot. Summer is slowly meandering into Winter, the bogans are full of great promises, and the roses are enjoying an autumn flush. Our seasons are not as obvious as those in other countries, but we very definitely have four seasons, and autumn is upon us. The leaves of our giant ficus fall in literal tons upon the roof and on the lawn, not so good for composting as the tiny figs are very acidic for the soil. We don't get those fabulous Fall colours in Zimbabwe, for which the Northern European countries are famous, instead the glorious autumn colours on our Eastern border, will confuse us all in August by announcing a riotous Msasa Spring!! ++++ 2) EVENTS NEW Beginners Belly Dance Class starting at Stillhaven, 18 Lawley Road, Suburbs Wednesday 18 March 2015 (Every two weeks on Wednesdays) 5.15 - 6.15pm For complete beginners, no previous experience required, all ages 16 and upwards!

We so easily become as frantic as the situations we encounter on a daily basis and the problem with that is that without calm, there is no wisdom, no impulse control and no real peace of mind. We're more likely to become emotionally reactive and unclear in our thinking, without deep peace of mind we cannot be the people we are capable of being, and we cannot live the lives we are capable of living. With our PRH training we guide you to a more clear and understanding place within you where you can access your gifts, talents and positive qualities to live more fruitful and wholesome lives. Join us on one of these workshops and journey with others into a better and more peaceful lifestyle. 27th April to the 1st May LOVING AND BEING LOVED. Discover how to grow in giving and receiving love. Understand your way of loving and being loved in order to experience it in a more satisfying way and to develop a better understanding of this essential area of your life. (Unfortunately there are previous workshops in our approach that are required as pre-requisites) But if this one really interests, you give us cal . 21st and 22nd May (2 afternoons) LANGUAGE OF THE HEART Recognize the relationships that give you life and learn ways to develop new life giving relationships. A life giving relationship is one in which I am free to be myself 'Free' means that I can listen to others without losing myself and I am safe to share what is authentic for me. 6th June (Saturday) STRESS SPEAKS Stress is mental, emotional or physical strain caused by excessive stimulation or demands. It results in physical symptoms. In developing new awareness of your body's messages about stress, you will build a more attentive and healthy relationship with your body. You will discover how your symptoms of stress can guide you to your inner riches. 8th - 11th June HELPING MY CHILDREN BECOME THEMSELVES This is a 4 day workshop and is suitable for parents of children of all ages as well as child care professionals, teachers and youth workers. It is about becoming clear about what you experience with each child's unique way of being. And to discover how to help each child develop according to this unique personality.

All welcome, free admission Launch 2: Indaba Book Cafe on Friday 20 March at 5.30pm. All welcome, $2 admission includes a free drink "In Textures we have two poets who make magic, two 'heart poets' who share a mastery of words, but who use them very differently. Look closely and you will see the differences - the contrasting perspectives, focuses and styles that are the creative products of individual experience - but stand back and be moved by a collective that is the work of complementary genius. The format weaves you back and forth between one, and then the other, and the effect disturbs, delights, inspires and consoles.' Dr Fred Simpson ++++ Chipangali Wildlife Orphanage Easter Special.

The race starts in the magnificent Matobo National Park, in the heart of the Matobo Hills World Heritage Site. In the cool early morning light, the runners will wind deeper into the hills along the Circular Drive, no doubt startling a few klipspringer and possibly a rhino or two! They will pass around Malindidzimu, otherwise known as 'Worlds View', and then swing north before exiting the park and leaving the hills behind them. The remainder of the race sees the runners pass over from the Limpopo to the Zambezi escarpment, and then onto the City of Bulawayo. Avoiding the CBD, the race will finish at the Bulawayo Athletic Club (BAC), with athletes completing the 33 miles, or 53 km ultra-marathon. The original Matopos 33 Miler was organised by the Raylton Rovers Running Club (RRRC), and was won by Mr Charlie Chase (Germiston, South Africa) in a time of 3hrs, 44 minutes and 56 seconds. Following the successful re-launch of this event in 2013 by the Matobo Conservation Society, PPC Zimbabwe will sponsor this truly historic marathon once again in 2015. In conjunction with the main ultra-marathon, a half marathon of 21 km, a relay (5 runners by 10.6km each) and a 5km Fun run, will also be run along the route, all finishing at BAC. Over 300 runners took part in 2014, with 20 sponsored water points en route. Regulations The race will be run in accordance with the regulations of the NAAZ. Entry Fee $10 per runner 33 Miler and half marathon $5 per runner 5km Fun Run $50 per relay team (5 runners) Date Sunday 12th April, 2015.

But there's a lot more to the opera than that, and Andrei Serban's spectacular and thrilling 1984 production of Puccini's final and grandest opera has long been a classic at the Royal Opera House. This recording (of its fifteenth revival!) was made in 2013 and features American Lise Lindstrom, one of the very few contemporary Turandots who can genuinely sing this 'killer' role.

At the end of last term she had to have another operation on both legs so that she will be able to keep using prosthetic legs. We have just had the quotation for good quality prosthetics which can be adjusted so they will fit her for the next 10 or so years. Unfortunately for this type of prosthetic the cost is very high at $4,000! We could go for cheaper heavy prosthetics but not only will these be uncomfortable but they will have to be replaced every couple of years. We do understand that there are so many calls on the Bulawayo public but I know that this little girl touched many hearts when she was involved in the accident.
